I want a Fiesta!

[slater]

I'm in love



all ive got to do is part with £350 to get it

What you guys think? potential or what!

[skoda_norman]

hhuuuuuggggeeee protentiel....lowering....bigger, subtle rims...it's all possible!

[rustbox]

Euro all the way !
Ultra low, wide rims, stretched tyres and maybe a juicy carb-fed lump.

[slater]

Well from my current parts bin i could scavange a 1600cc xr2 lump and some 6x13 allycats (oh and a grinder to take to the springs!)

My mates got xr2 rear beam and struts which i could get for next to nothing. Hes got tons of bits..

[tonycocacola]

part with your cash, you cant not ;D

[vanpeebles]

i had a mk1 fiesta 1.1 poppy plus, loved it to bits! canny fast too in stock form. just give it a good tune up, set the tappets etc

[slater]

couldent resist a bit of shoppage, just a few ideas off the cuff



think il go see the guy again tomorrow and tell him i deffo want it. Trouble is i have to wait for him to get the reg. number transfered as hes keeping that.

So cool!
I'm with dubcoupe on this one- Euro it! Always thaught a mk1 fez would be cool as funk done how the mk1 golf boys do it, 'specially the early ones wit the chrome bumpers!

[slater]

lmao, i just went down the scrappy and found another one there for £75!. Not as good, needing work but overall its solid.

I'm soo tempted to get 2! unless someone else wants one around here?

[vanpeebles]

mk1s tend to be fairly solid too, made from german steel i think, rather than daggy dustbins

[rmad]

These?:

[rmad]

Actually, I've just noticed you've got alleycats already...they should be perfect!

That 'plate might be worth a bit too!

[Pillock]

yeah i was just about to say the plate is worth a few hundred... but you say he's keeping that but still a good motor and worth it if it's as polished as it looks!

[slater]

Nice wheels!

ive got a pair of 6x13 and a pair of 8x13 allycats. They have slicks atm tho.

I was also thinking of using the wheels i have on the escort on it as they will need a new home soon (they look very simlar to allycats). They are rwd offset so may not fit with their current 185 tyres but i think they should fit with sretched tyres leaving the 185s to strech onto 8" rims for the new escort

Going to go rummage through my engine parts to find bits for the xr2 motor

" Off to search for Euro-Look Golfs "

Maybe something like this, only more Fiesta shell and less Golf.



If i remember right the wheels are 8x13" ATS Classics with stretched 175/50 Bridgestone tyres.

My current favourite stretch is a 7x15" with 165/45 tyres.



(Not best shot . . but my favourite.)
They look wafer thin !!

[street]

How cool?!?

If you can get a mk1 XR2 round headlights n grille too, stretch rubber over some suitable rims, and thats it 8-)its on like donkeykong ;D

[slater]

Nah square headlights all the way! (don't understand why people put round headlights on classic fords, they just don't fit the shape of the car)

[Mr_Bo11ox]

has anyone got a pic of that mint green mk1 festa that was at RCS? That had round lights, and was absolutely mouth-watering... (cant believe i'm saying that about a festa!)

[Mr_Bo11ox]

Here it is!



KWALITY

[slater]

Is nice but way to 'fordish' if you know what i mean.

4 spokes don't do it for me I'm afrade :/
