The bay needs a good jet wash when I get back from working away to get rid of those rusty water marks, then i can get a mate to help sort out the sh!t welding on the battery tray!

Shell looks mint matey!!

But really?!?! Bought some bits recently??? That was fucking months ago lol

I did a few minor bits to the fiesta this weekend, it mainly consisted of stripping out my old 1.1 dash as i've donated it to a young lad who's got my old shell :cool!:

but before i did that i test fitted my new steering wheel

by , on Flickr

soooo out with the old

by , on Flickr

I've had this sat in my shed for about 3yr, which i had forgotten about until recently! which is why the dash was removed

flocked xr2 dash with cobwebs and sh!te as standard

by , on Flickr

I'm a lazy scrote so i left all the sh!te on it and fitted it as is LOL

by , on Flickr

Like a knob i forgot to fit the heater vents... so out it came again... :roll: , this time i cleaned it then fitted it ops:

by , on Flickr

I also did a few bits to the engine, the belt is on and timed up so I've started bolting bits back on, i also added an adjustable pulley to the exhaust cam

pic showing the new exhaust pulley, cam belt, tensioners and water pump

Bolted the modified cover i got from shane

by , on Flickr

I've also bought an xr2 rack and one of shanes adjustable panhard rods :mrgreen:

It appears I'm missing a few bits from my xr2 dash so I'll be sticking up a wanted thread for those bits

good to see your still as mad about Fiestas Terry.

I tried to buy back my Fiesta a couple of weeks ago. Its been lying with a knackered engine after the new owner ran it low on oil and ran the bottom end destroying the crank and conrod. Engines now out the car and being rebuilt by a good friend of mine, so may be back in action for 2016
