Right then as this morning my trip to work will be the last drive my si does before she gets broken

i thought i would make up a new thread for my new car.

it's a genuine 32k 1994, 1.3 fiesta mistral. bodywork wise it's about a billion times better the si. ill get some pics up when i get home from work tonight.

nope not going to make it an si repas i plan to keep it a 1.3 and i dont want it to look like it's trying to be what it isn't.

plans really are to tidy it up and then hit it with crazy amounts of waxoil. oh and fit the suspension and arb's from the si

here is a few pics i took from the auto trader ad

and a few pics i took on my phone this morning

true it's very high, maybe i should ask the immigrants to move from the wheel arches into the boot to weigh it down a little

and it's not mint but it's alot more minty than my si and i think i prefer the colour :teehheee:

Fit an Si interior, so worth it

Doesn't matter if a pov spec interior is mint really, maybe you could sell it to someone who wants a concourse mk3, but in theory its like you say, just an uncomfortable interior lol

makes sense to do it i guess. know anyone who wants a concourse spec mk3 interior? dave?

the beauty of having my si around the back of work is that i can experiment with ideas on it

on another note i have just realised that the rear opening windows are tinted green like si's ect but my pov spec windows are clear.

also fitted the si gear gaiter in place of the normal one and fitted the wind deflectors from the si too. which are also green tinted :doh:
