Morning all, Just thought I'd introduce myself. My name is Nathan, I'm a 27 year old married dad of 1 and 8/9ths (due next week!). I'm a mechanic by trade although I'm currently a track day marshal at cadwell park and have had 107 cars in the last 10 years. I've recently purchased what has affectionately become known in our family as 'the dog box'. It's a 1998 Fiesta 35 Van 1.8 Diesel. At the moment it's totally standard but not for long. It's only the every day hack for me to get to work so I won't be spending loads on it but a few bits would be nice. Having said that, I'm surprised by how well it drives as standard. It's not as slow as I thought it'd be and even on skinny tyres it's really chuckable. Planned modifications are as follows: Zetec-S interior Lowering springs and shocks Vented brake conversion Jap style arch extensions 15" Peugeot 306 GTi-6 cyclone alloys Stainless back box Remove roof bars (may be tricky...no key!) I'll be shortly putting up a photoshop plea in the appropriate area relevant to these mods! I'm struggling to get photos on here (photobucket is being a nob) but I will when I can. |
