I thought seeing as i am going to be buying an Si sometime next year, here are some pics of my current car, its my first car, i have had since i passed my tested back in March 2007. I have owned the car since September 2006, i bought it from a neighbour for £400, a 1.1 rattler with 74,000 on the clock, which i didn't think was too bad for a first car. ![]() The car is named Archie, because it failed the first MOT i put it through while owning it for Excessive rust on the passenger rear quater, my dad set about repairing it, he did a good job but the arch got left in Primer for about 9 months before it eventually got painted, because of this he got named Archie by my mates. The red Arch in all its glory ![]() ![]() Some up to date pics: Travelling up to Silverstone: (On the Fiestaturbo stand ![]() And how the car stands at the moment: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Its got the complete 3dr Si interior which i manage to pick for £50 locally, but i haven't got an up to date picture of this. All i have left planned for Archie, is spray my rear lights red but leaving the indicators and reverse light lense clear, and get the Si spoiler i have in my loft, on the car. I hope you like it, but feel free to say what you want ![]() |

i was gutted the other week mate! 1.6 16v tourmallard green Si 4 sale, 33k, Full ford service history in st albans4 a grand. rang up about it nd it was sold! ![]() and the was another 1 4 sale in preston with 29k on the clock which was mint 4 995! so there is a few mint 1s that pop up now and agen! just keep a look out. i been looking 4 a mint 1.6 si but i fink im just gona wait and put a 1.6 cvh xr2i lump in mine, seeing as mines solid, faster than an Si and more tuneable. ![]() lights are quite easy mate! theres a guide on fiesta guides on how to do it! a lil tip thou: stand the tin of tint in a bowl of warm water 4 about 10mins. u will a better shine then. i need to do mine agen coz i didnt do that on mine. ![]() |

Yeah, there are a few nice ones, its just finding them, that the not so fun part ![]() Once i have saved up the money, i plan to wait until i find the perfect one, i am not going to rush into getting one, and i am happy to spend up to a grand on one ![]() Cheers for the tip on the lights ![]() On a postive note, my dad adjusted the tappets today, sounds a lot quieter as the tappets used to be really loud as they were really out ![]() |
