Post subject:  fiesta rs/si track car project
my track car project started out life as a £220 fiesta rs1800 i got in july of this year
Image
Image

once i started to strip it all down it became evident that the rot was alot worse than i first thought
Image
Image
Image
Image
basicaly it needed two new front wings two new sills a rear quarter panel and inner arch and the floors sorting
i thought i would try and save the rs from the scrapyard so i continued to drop the engine and start work to sort the grot out.
when it came to doing some welding in the rear archs i found even more rust where the floor, sill and arch all meets so i took th decision to scrap the shell as it was way beyond my skill level to repair.
that friday i started the search to find a new shell to continue the project friday night i found a suitable car on fiestaturbo. com
and by the sunday i had immy posetion and £350 lighter this si

tuesday i stripped the interor out of the si to see what condition the body was in and had a plesant suprise.
the floor is solid the arches,sills and wings are all solid. the only bit of rust i found was under the door seals and not really that bad
Image
Image
Image
Image

my plans for this weekend are to transplant the rs engine into the si and get it running

ive got a shed load of parts to fit including a rollcage, coilovers, mondeo v6 brakes, polybushes all around, the rs rear beam and a load of other stuff i cant remember at the mo

That rs looks like its in a bad way! It's probably best to scrap that shell, the si looks in much better nick!

Good look with the transplant mate! :thumbsup:

(love the workshop btw!)

Post subject:  Re: fiesta rs/si track car project
phase one of the transplant got done today
dropped the engine in around 4 and a half hours on my own which aint to bad.
had a little trouble with the power streering as the hynes manual description is crap. also ive now got to get a set of ball joints and track rod ends because the ball joint splitter tool ive got is crap and split all the rubber boots
Image
Image
Image
Image
the plan for tomorrow is to swap over the gearbox, engine mounts and powersteering to the rs engine
so more to come tomorrow

Rs is well beyond saving, Si looks good. Btw no point swapping over rear beams, no difference however you could add the rs antiroll bar to the si and have a twin anti-roll bar :thumbsup:
