ive been on another fiesta site for a while now
but now i have a proper si thought i should join the si site. this is copied form my post elsewhere.
After having my mk3.5 1.3 for just over 2 years now, i felt it was time for something with a bit more grunt. I had been looking for a while not really desperate then i saw this 1 come up in the forum. Its completely standard, really clean and hardly any rust on it. Its also completely colour coded spolier and even the outer mirror bases.
The owner before SORN it which comes into action in September, which is quite good because i now dont have run 2 cars, and plus the tax runs out today. I got the previous owner to put a years MOT on it and it came back with no advisories at all.
as it was when i got home
the only bit of rust on the outside and has now been treated(pic before being treated)
sills
the second bit of rust and last of it, again has now been treated will be welded when on the road
rear
and after a clean today
my plans at the moment are just small things
1. Nees to get rid of the extra Si badge on the boot
2. Get new number plates as it also has another Si icon on and also has the previous owners name on, which was a girl
3. Swap the alloys off my 1.3 over to the si, and swap the tyres from the si over on to the alloys as well as they are virtually brand new and are actually the right size for the wheel
4. Just stick some chrome bulbs in the front indicators
Thats about it at the for the mo wheels will be sorted next week so will update when done.
i have now put the alloys i had on the 1.3 on but with smaller tyres
and with the headlight protectors on.after a clean today
im on the look out now for some 15" alloys as they just look that it small and need to fill out the arches more.
also been on my to do list was to clean the roof lining after seeing the job that JamieFRST had done on his. it was pretty dirty lots of marks mainly around the back end next to the boot. did the whole thing with carpet cleaner and i think it came out really well.

after
next on the list are the mirors, as they have been painted over the textured stuff and the near side has started to crack
what do you think?
i have also just bought some new alloys which will be fitted asap! watch this space
