My mk2 fiesta
It's basically a 1.1 popular with xr2 engine.
Bought it off my friend,
List
Xr2 engine
K&N filter
4 branch manifold
Lowered
poly bushed
RS turbo recaro's
x2 steering wheel
xr2 bumpers
no tax or mot, pair £500 for it.
it's been sat for 2 years, here is how it looks today
Plans, tidy it up! strip and rebuild and powder coat everything at work lol
I never went out looking to buy a mk2 fiesta, I just landed on it as my friend was selling, for what I think was pretty cheap.
just a bit of dirt and grime from the rear window seal
bought these alleycats originals to go on
That's where I am at so far, not a great deal really, wrong time of year for a project, I have owned it for about 2 months though.
It's not running at the minute, does anyone have any info on Facet electric fuel pumps? There is no fuel coming from the tank at all, when ignition is on, you can hear the fuel pump clicking really loud and very fast, but no fuel, so think need to replace that
I am very much interested in photography so check my facebook page out at http://www.mikesmithmedia.co.uk If I attend any meets you guys do, I will have my camera around my neck and be more than willing to shoot your cars.
More grime removal
The very latest photo
First start after 2 years
Got Ashley exhaust to fit on, new fuel filters and fuel clamps
INSTAGRAM anyone? @ mike_smith_media

so my update
new exhaust
MOT FAILURE
So the car failed its MOT on:-
1) Nearside rear fuel hose leaking
2) Nearside rear wheel bearing excessive play
3) Offside rear wheel bearing excessive play
4) Nearside out CV join gaiter damaged
5) Rear fog lamp not working
6) Nearside rear tyre rubs arch slightly (thought they might not of noticed)
7) Offside rear tyre rubs arch slightly (as above)
8) Front tyre slightly cracked (didn't think this was a big deal, its only minor)
9) As above for other side
10) Nearside front headlamp aims to high
11) Battery insecure
12) Offside front lower suspension arm ball joint dust cover excessively damaged (what's this supposed to be?)
13) Offside rear sill small hole, inadequate repair, seriously affecting the strength withing 30cm of the body mountings
14) Nearside rear sill has 2 small holes
Advisories
15) Oil leak
16) NSR wheel arch corroded
17) Rear seat base loose
18) Drivers seat back lose
19) OSF headlmap aim on lower limits
I have about done everything on the list now for its retest
a quick photo

Well, i eventually removed all the green fence paint with g3, so I G3'd the whole car
Next up was rear bumper removal, as you can see, tar, grime and other various contaminants
going to give behind the rear bumper a blast over with some degreaser etc, and clean all the bumper fixings etc etc
Then the rest of the car will need stage 2 polish and wax, will I will do tomorrow.
Then I think it be time for front bumper removal and painting of the lower valance
It's the little things that count
And some beading
Your probably wondering what your looking At in the first few photos, well I had taken wing mirrors and bumper off etc so I could clean behind the seals etc and get a few costs of wax behind there.
I touched up one of the holes where the wing mirror sits as paint had chipped off. Don't want a rusty hole now do we?
Ok it's a bit anal doing all this, but it will pay off in the long run. My pet hate is seeing a lovely cleaned shiney waxed up car to only get up close and see grime around trims and seals.
Black hole glaze and dodo juice supernatural.
Well thought I would tackle the engine bay a little today
And after.
Still needs a lot of work under there though
