im just starting mine! its not hard really just make sure you read about it as much as possible and make sure your sure about eberything you do before you do it!!

also if the 2l engine is coming from a breakers yard etc, do the cambelt water pump and various other things while its out of the vehicle.. will save a lot of effort later when you realise the cambelt is about to snap / has snapped etc.

If this was me i'd strip it all out take the head off give it a good clean out and re-build it with new parts here there and everywhere.. but thats for people with money i spose


*if i was a rich girl nananannnana id have all the money in the woooooooorlld*

nope im not a mechanic, i have had a few years experience with cars though! i worked in a respray shop for year and a half, that included polishing, dismantling, rebuilding, valeting and general prep work, so i learnt quite a bit from that as you can see:


i dismantled it and rebuilt it after the respray, i just find reading loads of stuff about fiestas, mainly haynes manual and picking stuff up on different websites etc
