This is my MK3 Fiesta XR2i 1.8 16v. Picked her up 22/10/06 There's a few things that i wanna change on it straight away like the rear lights,the drum colour and the wheels for the spare alloys. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Interior's in great condition! ![]() Got a full set of spare alloys with it as well with excellent tread on all TSW Webs in 14"s Picked her up for a bargain £550 and best thing is i didn't pay for it ![]() [color="#3366FF"]*Im a nice son i've decided to pay them for the present before starting the crazy spending on engine componants.*[/color] UPDATE Just bought this on Ebay.Im not normally a fan of sparkly things but its so pretty i had to. ![]() Won this on ebay...not sure if i want it anymore.Think it looks abit tacky... Its a 3mm thick clear persphex pulley cover so you can still protect the belt but also view the condition of it without having to remove anything. ![]() ![]() Here is the 2litre silver top engine as I got it home. ![]() Heres the DONATED Fiesta turbo inlet (also have the head as Darren was being a lazy c*** so im storing it for him.) *THANKS TO [color="#3366FF"]RS[/color] MAYSA* from UKFN.although now NOT using it as bought and had converted a Rover turbo inlet manifold. (pics to follow) ![]() Heres a polished Plug cover and polished cam cover bolts ready for the new engine. ![]() ![]() So far I have accumulated a few sets of wheels,a head and inlet,my 2litre engine and a few good bits for when its time to make the engine look pretty lol ![]() Pictures some bits ill got so far.Not sure if i like the lights yet. ![]() ![]() ![]() *Cat isn't a purchase from ebay* I have a set of 6 pot Tarox calipers and disks,pads to go on when the time comes.(awaiting my mate to order my mounting brackets) |

Got a set of WRC rims.The pic is the worst one of the 4 i have. ![]() ![]() Im going to sell them on though due to a offset of ET57 and them being WRC stud fitment and not standard ford studs as the Focus RS as i was told it was off.The studs are futher apart ![]() ![]() Oh and heres my Rover Turbo Inlet with Ian Howell Conversion plate and throttle body adaption.Going to get it powercoated eventurally.It may not be "a thing of beauty" but it will do the job very well indeed ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Inside the inlet *Needs a damn good clean lol* ![]() |

Started to strip the engine on Jul 9 2007.Was in the garage for a total of 8 HOURS lol took my time and did everything slowly as ive never taken an engine apart before...Didnt have any books/Haynes for reference just went bolt by bolt marking where things came from and drawing diagrams etc. Then washed lots of bits in degreaser and placed them into labled boxes ![]() Pictures look better than words... When i first lifted the engine onto the stand...I didnt have a crane just my super human strengh provided by drinking Stella all day ![]() ![]() Hmm yes not too sure about how safe this is,Plz tell me if you think im mental. ![]() ![]() Drained out the old CRUDE oil...yucky ![]() Removed the Cam cover ![]() ![]() Then drew a simple diagram noting positions of cam caps by the code number inprinted on top of them,Noted everything else aswell just to fill the page lol ![]() Removed the caps then the cams and placed them in a box exactly as they came out. ![]() ![]() Then off came the head and gave it a little clean.Doesnt seem to be any damage apart from the little nicks in one piston that i did with a scraper tool.Wont need these pistons anyway. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

GARAGE CLEAROUT Got the garage cleared out and for the FIRST TIME the project is in the garage! *Hurray!* This is my projects collections minus the stuff hiding in my bedroom like T3 Turbo,lights,engine dress up bits. This is my parents random collections that took up space in my garage for a YEAR! Washed it before putting it away as it was filthy! The paint has turned to a horrible pinky colour due to the sun so ill have to buff it back up, When the project is finished im hoping to get it fully resprayed anyway ![]() *Had a helper as well aka the dog* Woo some space to fill! *Lilly my tri colour sheep dog inspecting it first for spiders,screws and anything else she tried to eat* Well it fits that's a start New heart awaiting me to throw money at it Now all i need is some time money and intelligence. |

Went out there and spent an hour using my Megs to see if i could bring the bonnet back to a nicer shade of red. Did the 3 step... 1st Megs Paint Cleaner *did this twice* 2nd Megs Polish 3rd Megs Gold Class Wax Its still not perfect and i didnt use a proper digicam for the pic so shoddy low light quality.Bloody cameraphones lol ![]() |

Went out and started to strip off the kit to see what the condition of the arches and sills, Found surface rust on the sills seems where you jack from as per normal but where the rivets go through into the sill to attach the skirts ive found two places where rust holes have formed.Naturally i attacked them with a screwdriver ![]() Removed the bonnet and arch liner aswell to try to aid light getting through so i could see better.It was in the way anyway. |

Nice one, looking good ![]() What management you going to be using on your setup? How much the ian howall rover inlet cost you? (and what injectors can be used in it?) - just seeing if its worth me getting one instead of trying to use the zetec inlet on my rs1800T |

Two pics of my bonnet after did a Megs 3step cleanup on it. Firstly removed the drivers side arch & skirt and then the front bumper. Then started to look for rust You can see where ive hacked at it with a screwdriver to remove the paint.Some pics have the green gel on the rust with is rust remover. Little update... Been out there today,Checked for more rust but didn't find any ![]() It will do for protection until i get the whole bay back to metal for a respray when the engine is out.Before respraying im going to seem weld the lot. Here's some pics from 20/8/07 Treated rust... Ah and i broke the clips on both sides of two of these little annoying plugs.They were so brittle that they just snapped when touched :angry: |
