i have started another quick little project along side my sierra pinto turbo build
so i decided to get a mk2 fiesta i found this one with 27000 miles on the clock i am the 4th owner and lots of MOT;s and it passed its MOT only a week or so before i bought it
lots of history picked her up for Ł425 paint work was crap so i decided to do a rebuild like i allways seem to do with all my cars here are the pics of my progress so far
ps if anyone has a 5speed gear likage for a mk2 fiesta let me know and a carbed CVH 1.6 engine and also any xr2 parts
and also what is the diffrence between 1.1 and xr2 i know about the rear roll bar and interior what elce is there i want a mint perfect XR2 replica

karlthomas

the engine on the right with the orange cam cover is a 1.3 that i am planning to use till i can get a decent CVH 1.6 engine
more progress

One difference I remember on xr2 shells is a lump in the rear panel so the spare wheel fits if you want to go 100%

karlthomas

I shall have a look into that I want as close as I can to a mint car as she's a bear shell with little rust I may as well

I think the rear hump mentioned was only on the mk1's as the xr2 and 13 supersport had it as they used and carried a 13 inch spare wheel whereas the bas modles used a 12 inch rim

karlthomas

i dont have a engine or anything yet im sourcing parts i have a old 1.3 hcs engine that come out of my escort they i think i am going to use for now but i have allready build a good running cvh on carbs but i have just sold the car with it in (the escort mk4) so i will have to start agin

karlthomas

ok shes ready for paint and i have removed most if not all the rust now but i cannot decide to go xr2 or just not use the arches ansd side skirts and go euro look , i have never tryed euro look before think it may be a good experiences any styling tips for euro looks?>

jaywb

i have original body kit im selling

karlthomas

Do u know a way of sticking on te arches without damaging the paint eg a glue that wont take te paint off with it when I remove the side skirts ?

Dan F

Id leave the xr2 kit off if you fond of your sills & arches

Smooth n slammed would br good for this

karlthomas

That's what I am thinking to be honest
