my frst
 
i bought this fiesta about 3/4 months ago for £375 (bargain) it was used as a donor car for another frst but it was mot'd till august 2005 the block was dead and so was the turbo but i am giving a new life iv rebuilt the block and i have a t3 hybrid to put on it uprated cooler im hoping to get it on the road for the rs show at donnington. although i have a t3 to put on it im looking for a t2 to run the block in on so it dont put any unnecessary strain on the block till its run in
the interior on this car is mint and yeah i know everyone says there interior is mint but this really is even on the backs of rear seats there isnt a mark on them or on the drivers seat

here is a list of stuff im doing to it and bits ive got /want

beige injectors (wanted)

195bhp chip (wanted)

coilover suspension (wanted)

polly bush everything (wanted)

5th injector (wanted)

uprated engine mounts (wanted)

head cammed, ported and pollished (done)

mongoose 3" exhaust (got)

double space forged ally intercooler (got)

k&n filter (got)

15" tsw blades (got)

it needs a bit of tlc on the body to by the fuel cap (usual place)other than that body sound

why do you want a 5th injector :cry:
engine will be fine to run in on a T3 just keep the boost to a few psi, no point putting the turbo on to remove it again :top:
