Cheers mate

That would be awesome! It would be rapid too with the Mk1 having a lighter shell (although your Mk3 is well and truely stripped so there's probs not much in it )

Your probably better off putting the running gear into a base model Mk1 as you can pick them up cheaper and also wouldnt upset the purists "ruining" a supersport

Would love to see you do this one day tho mate

I think its about time for an update!

I have been collecting parts for the mk1 over the past few week ready for when I sort it out ready for FITP next year. Cant wait to get cracking but in the meantime, here are the parts I have managed to get hold of:

Brand new genuine ford wing mirrors:



Mk1 fiesta jack as I didnt have one:



New clock as mine doesnt work:



Ultra rare boot tray:



Brand new AA badge for the front grille:



Full set of mk1 fiesta documentation including accessories brochure and dealership guide:



Spare expansion tank as the lid is broken on mine:



Set of pressed aluminium plates (the first set I recieved, I wasnt pleased with the spacing of the letters and numbers (the set on the top of the pic) so the company did me another set free of charge (the set at the bottom of the pic)):



Pair of switches as the white paint has worn off mine:





Thats it for the time being, but there will be more to follow!

Cant wait to get cracking with the project ready for FITP next year!

Let me know what you think

wicked, how the hell you get brand new wing mirrors? Must of took some searching. Great work finding it all, you wanna get some pics up with yours bits on.

On another note did you see the concept mk1 fiesta in the back of fast ford? jut thought you may ofbeen interested in it:

very good sources with all these emaculate cars poppping up lol.

I remember seeing the sierra concept aka probe, then obviously they actually released a car called probe.

Never saw that concept, showing our age abit now tho

ford probe III

Actually, think I have seen that before somewhere.

Thank god that car never got released, how to ruin a Sierra

_________________

yeah, i think there was a good few probes as that was the 3rd one but its the only one i remember. I thought that fiesta fantasy was cool though wihe its versatillity. I cant imagine the handling being all that though compared to the normal one.

What can I say Dave apart from you git!!!!! Just read this through and I am so so jealous. I love the Old Skool thing as you know, personally I think you should stay crossflow with twin carbs and definately slammed to the max. I think Burton are doing brand new blocks now
As for the urge for a larger Zetec, putting one in the Si is the way to go

Done well finding all those parts mate

Can't wait to see her at FITP

Thanks mate

I cant wait to take her to FITP either, its going to be awesome!

Just need to make sure I get everything sorted on her before then, and she is going to be my show car for the whole of next year all being well
