Any ideas of what i can do with the fiesta?

Im gonna start with the front panel, wings are defo salvageable for the time being, bonnet is fooked for definate and head lights. Then what about modifying a bumper from a completely different car to fit ? anyone done this before or seen it done at fords shows?

ye thats what im thinking of, something a little different, it would take time but it seems ill have a huge amount of time spare due to needing the rare parts needed to put back on the road once again.
Thanks

Right im now insured on my Escort van so its no longer for sale DOH! this was suppose to be the money for the repair bills on the mk2.
I need some alloy wheel nuts now to put my 7 spoke alloys on the van to make it look half decent. Cherrybomb on a diesel nah not really although i do have a spare.
Repairs on the fiesta will start shortly.

Front end parts, well they are rare for the price i am willing to pay for them.
Fiesta is on hold for now anyways, winter project. Gonna ditch the xr2 kit sort the rear arches, crash damage and any other body work and may change the colour as there's loads of bits on the body that needs sorting.

Yes but a bit too pricey for me, i've just shelled out Ł260 for deposit on van insurance so fiesta will be long term now. Plus ill have to spend money on the van e.g. needs a sill or huge weld repair, minor rust from front arch all the way along to the rear.
Any Ideas for the van to make it look less like an old builders van ??
Just gonna transfer sound system from car to van tomorrow then Alloys next week.

get some sweet neons under it and maybe a "cozzy" sunstrip would look sick! also spray the drum brakes bright green or summet

its lasted pretty long tbf..

iv had a good 30min read on this 37 pager.. and i have to say, i havnt stopped laughing or smiling at the FUNNY SHIT iv seen..

please buy a saxo or a corsa next time and fuck that up with sunstrips !... mk2 fiestas are a rare breed nowadays and youve just lowered the number by 1 ...

Shoulda just sold it to R013... might have got new lease of life back then lol

AS IF you just turned down Ł250 as it is... the scrapmen will want you to pay THEM to take that away haha,,


is this the end for the Fez ?

NOPE!!!
No way its not the end more like new begining as i've said now its a winter project. Only front end needs new panels so gonna save and buy when needed. Fresh metal, weld the bits that need it and try make up a new front end ie bumperand maybe lights. Going for a totally different looking front.

Pics underneath of how it looked with and without the xr kit. (Pics are from a while back)

Just an old pic from my profile.
Does this look this absolutely ace or what ??

With kit brilliant with the wheels.

Without kit but the wheels don't go with imo but still nice.

reading this thread has reminded me why i wont take any of my cars to any mechanics apart from for MOT's.

well done in consistantly ruining that poor fiesta, please dont repair it, now is your time to get into a 106 or a corsa b where you and your cherrybomb exhaust (which does sound shit) belong

This car was dead when you bought it, let it rest in peace now!
