I picked her up on April 10th 2010 after looking for 6months for a 52 plate,with air-con as a minimum extra , FSH, obviously red, reasonable milage and under £2.5k.
So she had:
FSH,
Air-con,
Milltek cat-back exhaust,
Tinted windows,
Clear side repeaters,
Professionally painted 16" mondy wheels with zetec-s on them,
4 New tyres,
72k on the clock,
6 months tax,3 months warranty,hpi clear,
All for £2,200.
She had the some wear and tear as you would expect,stone chips slight bubbling on drivers rear arch and a phase 1 airbag cover, but i like it as it matches the dash surround. Anyway,enough boring talk,pics!! The day i bought her:
Put the zsoc.com stickers on and i got a laguna splitter off a member off zsoc,it had never been cut,good price.also bought a replica freestyle grill and tinted the headlights and put a sunstrip on
Plug socket

I decided to suede my interior as ive always thought it look smart,so i did all 6 pillars,and roof.Sprayed the visors and map light black,then the grab handles(sourced a 2nd one for drivers side) and a pic of my ka gear knob & refurbed steering wheel
Roxanne had her MOT on Thursday morning,and she passed with flying colours!!
Only had 3 Advisory's which were:
Various metal pipes corroded,
Various Underside corrosion,
All brake flexi hoses perished.
I asked my tester about the corrosion and he said there just part of the new way of testing in the MOT.Any visible surface rust,no matter how petty,is an advisory.
Some pics (off my phone)
Waiting for MOT
And after Passing
Also fitted some mudflaps for the winter
And i currently have standard wheels on until i get new mondeo's

Really like that. You notice a difference with the Puma lump in it? always wanted to do it when i had mine, just never bit the bullet.
Thanks.yea i have mate,my 1.6 was down on power though.it was running 96bhp,and with my mod's it should have been at least 118-120bhp.This thing shifts,it really does!! LMS said to expect 135-140bhp so it's a 40odd increase for me
Great looking fez, heres my one, bought a few months back, failed mot on a sill. Was going to patch up and sell on, but its got a puma conversion tape ecu etc, so im going to rip its guts out and put em in a mini im restoring
How come it needs a resto as it looks great in the pics.
Also your mates Fezz looks well cool on the Fezz ST alloys.
Cheers mate!
Well
Passengers side had previously been repaired + sprayed badly before I bought it and it was starting to pink
Both arches rotting
Scratch/dink on every panel

So I took the plunge
Oh right, cool!
Make sure you keep the updates and pictures coming as its a great motor you've got there!
I've always fancied a Fezz ZS but never had one!
Perhaps one day I'll start a thread of my Escort!!

I dont mate, I bought it as is, wasn't planning on doing much to it, just flopping it for a bit of profit etc, but the engine is running so sweet, its got the 4_2_1 manifold etc, fast for what it is, so when I start restoring this mini mayfair, i'l do away with its engine, and put the puma set up in the mini! Will start a thread when the time comes, but heres a pic of the mini as it currently sits
