is it mk1 fiesta

 

i want to buy a cheap osf to strip put a fast engine in piss can it satin black and drag it

 

im still doing the cortina up but its staying as a road car (will still do the quauter mile in it though )

Mk1 Fez or 100Es can be picked up cheaply but have tiny engine bays

[Arched Escy]

another tina id say and plenty of space in the bay.

[Guest cortinamad-gonetoo]

i was thinking either mk1 fiesta or another tina but tinas are quiet heavy

[Arched Escy]

but mk1 fezzas are the wrong way round how cheap is cheap ?

[Guest cortinamad-gonetoo]

yeah i know

 

few hundred quid

 

not too bothered on body work cause got my ow ideas on colour scheme and just gonna piss can it

 

i might go for another cortina then i could end up with loads of spares for mine

 

the parts i strip

If your looking to strip it, get a 100e. There are alot of parts you can fit easily. And alot of "throw aways" that can be sold on to raise funds.

 

 

And 100e's rule. Are you looking to go fast or to be old skool ? Becouse the sidevalve engine has alot of period performance parts.

whatever car you get just get out the circular cutter and scraper for the sound deadening and thatl;l save a few kgs

wouldnt say a mk5 tina is heavy, about 1000 kilo's which may be heavier than a fiesta but the RWD advantage and the space for a much bigger engine goes a long way to countering the extra size. most supermini's these days are heavier than the ol' mk5.

[Guest cortinamad-gonetoo]

ok

 

a mk 5 tina would be good as i said get spares too for my road car

[Copey]

my capri cost me £750 can get a semi decent one for £400-500 i doubt you would run out of bay space either...

[Arched Escy]

i think a balls out mk5 would be the dogs

Mines gonna be satin black when its done, 24v is staying standard while i get it all sorted and running nice then i'm after some another 100bhp or so with forced induction, it wont be stripped out (has leccy windows and central locking and will be nicely trimmed and iced) or set up for the strip though so not really hard core., should look mean though, hopefully will be out this year, the engines in now so progressis being made.
