well saturday was a very sad day for me, i washed the
car friday night and made it all clean (well kinda) ready
to go away for the winter time.
cant keep it on my own drive cz my parents have
enough cars of their own that dont get driven so the
missus's mum has kindly allowded me to keep it at theirs.
and my dad dontated one of his full drive in an zip up car
covers that he keeps his cadilacs in so that should keep
it in reasonable nick whilst the winter months are apon us.
so here she is
and here is the winter runner!
1.6 fiesta si, bought it for £60 with a warped head and put
the 1800 zetec in it that was left over after i put the rs lump
in the escort; its had the rear arches fiberglassed and the
bodywork was quite tatty so i went for the cheap rat look
and sprayed it matt black (ok my mates gary and john
sprayed 99% of it matt black whilst i stood around making a mess )
turned out quite good i thought, roof needs doing again as its a bit
streaky but will get round to it in due time.
flew through mot only needing a sidelight bulb, then broke down
outside the mot station but was due to bad earth on EDIS module
so all is sorted now and have been driving it all of today! quite slow
compared to the escort but is still nice to drive, but i still miss the
escort like ive lost my right hand
ps. this will eventually be the s2rs pace car so watch this space
need to bring it round to my mate mat for some graphics to be designed
and made.
but then im not sure if i should go through the bother as im only looking
to keep the car till the spring and then want to sell it as il have the escort
back out and want to buy a p100 to do up so if anyones got a p100 and
fancie a swap let me know!
