My Mk2 Fiesta

[yalnif09]

Hi All,

 

Right not sure if my 85' Classic fiesta is classed as old skool yet so putting in here for now.

 

This is my recent purchase. Rust wise, needs a patch size of a 5p in the boot and a bit on the top of the o/s sill (see pic). other than that rust protection stuff in post for the few bits of surface rust.

 

Don't mind having a go at most of it but now thinking might be easier to replace the door???

 

Right so plans ASAP.

 

Sort the body work

Fit Immobiliser

Fit 12v socket

 

2011

1300 x-flow on twin 40's and lairy cam

lowered on XR2 suspension (I have my reasons)

Banded steels or wide 13" steels

Straight through zorst??

Tidy the interior.

 

I'll add if I think of more

I like it a lot. I had one for a daily driver until only a couple of months ago and it was great.

Looks nice and love the colour But not Oldskool

[Synergy]

No not oldskool but a lovely motor none the less

 

I don't know why but the basic spec MK2 Fezzas appeal more to me now than the XR2s and 1400 Sports

how is this not old skool? it was made in '85 and will still look like a car if you take the bumpers off! haters maaaan....

 

its deffo oldskool!! cool car dude, just dont 'max power' it!

[squadge78]

very debatable, not strictly oldskool but older than the youngest capri.

[yalnif09]

Oh well was worth a try .

Just can't wait to get it dents/ scraps sorted and fresh lick of paint. I too really like the colour, think that was part of the appeal. Ceramic Blue.

 

As for the Max power effect, of the 30+ cars I've had in 14 years this hasn't happened yet and I don't intend on starting now. the only 'mods' are those listed at the start.

Unfortunately for this particular website the Mk2 Fezza is not classed as oldksool, however, you are welcome to keep updating this post to show us your progress Good luck with the work

I just spotted this on the pics from the OSF meet at Wingspan. Anyone know what wheels they are? Look like the ones I had on my Mk2 escort.

 

 

Cheers.

I think they are Weller steels

[SebringRS]

Yeah, think there wellers

 

 

Although not classed as 'Old Skool' i still think there really cool

 

Saw a white one today as i was on the bus to school, was in the same condition as yours around abouts, looked cool, stock'ish height and all

[GT_lenny]

would it be oldskool if it had the mk1 front end conversion like the one in the classic ford fiesta frenzy???

[yalnif09]

OK so after seeing these weller steels and finding they are widely available as well as cheaper I'm thinking they are the way to go, thoughts?
