Hi guys heres my fiesta turbo i've owned for the past 4 years, i have been building then re building and changing my mind, you know how it is.

Its only done 75k miles and was immaculatte when i first bought it, Its never been welded and is all original panels. I have dry stored it for the past 4 years and have only done 60 miles in it.

I first decided i wanted to bufty the underside so i done that over the space of a year, I then moved onto the engine the spec is.
2.0l zetec - focus rs pistons and rods with uprated bearings
cosworth 2wd t3 turbo - 31actuator
rover inlet - fiesta turbo TB
biege injectors - 195 chip
pro alloy front mount cooler
4 paddle rs turbo clutch - lsd box
Unsure on bhp at the minute but i was at a set of traffic lights on a dual carriageway and i pulled away from my friends 225bhp seat leon cupra r

Then onto the bodywork... I wanted it absolute prestine so i could show it at shows. Its had a full respray inc door shuts and under the bonnet. I spent weeks getting it perfectly straight. Was painted in original mercury grey and is in showroom condition, not a single dent ,chip or scratch ANYWHERE (i work in a bodyshop as my everyday job so i know what i'm doing not just fred in a shed with rattle cans).

I also own a 3dr sierra an escort estate and another fiesta so this one breaks my heart to say it but is uneeded. I alway wanted to finish this to a high standard so before it goes i decided to give it a massive makeover and here is what i have been up to for the past 2 weeks as its going to be in the for sale section at classic ford santapod on the 27th may.

Here is how the car stood 3 weeks ago




the whole underneath was then stripped and heres the pile of bits


as you can see all the bits are near mint anyway as i done it a few years ago and has done no miles since (just sat in dry workshops)
pictures now in order of when bits were done






















pile of bits to go back on






i then moved onto the underside, again i fully done it a few years ago and had donr no miles since so was just fully cleande inspected and repainted. I mixed half a liter of mercury grey base coat in with 2 can of white stone chip and that was applied i then gave it 3 heavy coats of lacquer, here is the outcome
















.

really happy with the outcome, will keep any moisture out for years to come.

I then had the whole rear been sand blasted










then 2 coats of rust protective etch primer



I then gave it all 2 heavy coats of 2 pack primer and spent at least 5 hours rubbing it all flat, Then 2 heavy coats of 2pack black and here is the outcome....

I would be happy with this finish on my bonnet let alone the rear beam








I then orderd lots of new parts incl
Twin rad fans
full breather setup silicone hoses
Exhaust gasket
grenn bumper mouldings
green tailgate sticker
2 exhaust rubbers
2 anti roll bar bushes
under bonnet sticker set
track control arms
both wishbones
all brand new items




Also got some rear beam spacers for the back made up 20mm steel all new +20mm bolts


Everything had a few days to harden off then started re fitting everything with lots new nuts bolts and washers


rocker cover bolts
strut to hub bolts
wheel arch liner bolts
engine to box bolts
caliper bolts


more fitting up












I then made up the whole rear section of new solid brake pipes






heat wrapped the cossie modded down pipe in quality wrap


heat srinked many under bonnet wire inc battery


refurb the new wheels ( i do still have the 17's but the fronts new smaller tyres


Here is how the car sits as of today 99% complete and looks absolute mint in person, will get some better quality pictures tommorow




























its crying out for a new bufty exhaust i didnt get time to do it


As said i will get lots more better pictures of it all together tommorow.

Oh forgot to say further up it went straight though its mot without a single advisory and has 6 months tax

Will be in the for sale section at santa pod next week.

I have done 3 weeks of 7 / 13 hours a day on this

£3500 no offers

I know no one has any money at the moment but i think the car is priced more than farely as you'd have to go a very long way to find one as good as this. remmember its never been welded and has only done 75533 miles from new.

all comments welcome - now have a week to get my escort estate ready for the power and style stand at pod

 

Few pictures as promised...

I had a mounting tab tig welded to the intercooler so it aint just sat there, also the air filter and hard pipe arrived.

Interior is near mint, no sagging AT ALL on none of the bolsters but just the drivers side piping has been snagged abit. If you could find a decent cover then you would have a 100% mint interior.

Steering wheel is absolute mint, also has brand new ford foot mats.

Am also fitting a new flexi to the front section of the exhaust, just want the car to be 100% for the new owner as i think its sold already

on with the pictures


































hope you like

 

Thats very nice mate.I do like a fezza turbo.I think they look well on escos wheels.

 

looks awesome

 

very nice

 

nice

 

incredible work, love how deep the shine is on the parts

 

If you look in the background of the new pics you will see my escort estate and that's sat on escos wheels, was gunna try them on today but some nice chap has sent a deposit so it's now sat in the paint booth till Saturday.

Thanks for the comments guys, means alot after all the hard work.

I may have only done 60 miles in the car but I will be very sad to see it go as i very much doubt I'd be able to find another one in such good condition without spending loads

Oh well I have a 3dr to play with now

 

Hi, what brand is that exhaust? Thanks
