Hmm im still in two minds about it. Might chuck in a cheap (500quid max) RS Turbo engine for a laugh, upgrade the brakes and suspension, then hack around in it until she rots away. Whilst at the same time saving up for a mint geniune RST too.
Or just save all my money for a mint RST and swap all the useful bits over from this one.
Don't think i could afford to be running two cars tbh - as it stands i'll be wating until atleast 2008 (july) for rst power

Over last weekend i decided to use up some spare hammerite i had lying about. The new wheels exposed the awful looking rusted callipers and drums, so......
Sorted 8)
No pics of the rear since the black can't be seen in the photos anyway.
Last night my sister and i went to the Glasgow Art Gallery to get a few shots - more can be seen in the photo gallery sub-forum:

Hoping to lug a turbo cvh into it at some point. Was initially going to throw thousands into the car, but ive come to the decision that this won't be very cost effective (with the car being a 1.1 base spec originally). Will chuck in a cheap CVH lump in a years time and buy a mint RS too

Tempted to fit all my leccy windows etc and sort out the underside at the same time.

All that i needed to do was unscrew the corrent one and disconnect the ariel plug/connector, plug in the same wiring from the mk3 and use the screw which came with the mk5 ariel.HTH

Currently outside my house
Sorry for the lack of updates folks, just haven't been all that bothered
Got a set of Toyo Proxes T1-R's for the front wheels a few weeks ago. Alot better than the Yoko's i had before, but about the same price to buy.
I really don't know what is next for it - whether or not to break it or turbo it?

Update:
Well with the arrival of my new car (Golf - https://passionford.com/forum/pictures-video-and-photoshop-forum/253911-my-golf-mk4-gti-anniversary.html the Fiesta is now unfortunaelty being broken.
Good news is that a guy in my local RSOC is probably going to take the shell to re-shell his RS1800 track car, so thankfully the car will live on in some form.
Thanks for everyones help and encouragement with this project over the years. I'll still be around here, and will be getting a Saph or EsCos in a few years time.
