Ive been on the Fiesta turbo forum for some time and on here but never made a project thread so heres my project!
*********
Hi all! Im new to the forum and thought id start a project thread...
Well heres the story, my dad bought his missus a fiesta to run around in. When i found out i was like gah just another fiesta. Then when he pulled up outside in the lowered fiesta with alloys i loved it! I bought the car off my dad after lots of nagging for £300 since my dad thought it would need lots of welding etc underneath. Took the car to my work and sent it up on a ramp and guess what! All the work had already been done and it was solid underneath. I was well chuffed.
Heres how she stands at the moment!
*********
Then I found this lying around somewhere
2.0 16v Zetec Phase 2 Mondy Engine sourced this from a local scrapyard for a good price.
Got down to some nitty gritty
************
A nice clean up and lick of paint
************
A few parts i ordered earlier today for my baby
Including - Exhaust backbox, Water Pump, Clutch, Cambelt kit, Oil Filter and Spark Plugs
**************
A little more messing about with the rocker cover. Think ill leave the zetec etc shiney was thinking about having it black but???

Whats goes in here? :-?
Oh its this!

Managed to get someone in my garage to swap me wheels
They are Gti wheels that was on a van. God they were soooo mucky had not been washed in donkeys! T-Cut them and polished them up they didn't come up too bad.
Have got a xr2i Kit sat in my garage waiting to be sprayed im a bit weary of fitting it myself incase i get it wrong?? I was thinking about having a full re-spray and having the fitted then. What do you guys think? thanks scott.

Well a little update. Fitted my 2.0L Mondeo Throttle Body you wouldn't believe how much faster it goes im well impressed! Fitted a laguna splitter its a bit battered but still looks well imo. Fitted a snap off steering wheel (momo) will get pics soon. Also got a new alarm (Viper 480xV) with pager! Any more comments or suggestions?
Heres new splitter!
**********
Pics i promised!
Exhaust lol, also de-wipered!
