[jonyb4]

heres a brief look at my daily pride and joy my mk3

 

not quite old enough to qualify for old skool yet but im on here with good intentions so figured it wont hurt to show what im passionate about

here she is, in Petrol blue

 

 

 

has a file full of documents, including past mot's, reciets and servicing

 

full ford service history upto 07/89k

 

 

 

 

and this is her current state, ill not bore you with the full spec list as id have a number of lines... but heres a brief of the best bits: P

 

 

1.8 Si, 130bhp, kent ph1 cams, 4 branch, RS1800 engine bits, gmax suspension, RS turbo body parts, RS recaro seats, stainless exhaust, green cotton, RS2000 front brakes, polybushed, leather, full electrics and premium sound

I kind of like it, don't see many of these on the road while I'm out and about.

Not classic, not quite retro but getting there. Nice car.

I had 2 of these about 6-7 years ago, lovely little cars and not many left anymore (killed by rust)

[jonyb4]

supprisingly these being the mk3.5 suffered less rust than the earlier mk3s and more RS and XRs have been scrapped than the Si or other mk3.5s like the later RS1800 and XR2i 16v

That looks very clean

 

And I love black wheels on a car

Looks tidy

[jonyb4]

cheers guys

 

its only been welded once by myself for this mot, tiny hole the size of a 20pence piece on the rear chassis leg

[evil knievel]

Respect Not keen on the wheels though, would look better on s2 rst's in my opinion! but then again its not my car! I bet she flies

[jonyb4]

thanks

 

cant say id like a set of doglegs on it personally!

 

 

but shes quite nippy yea, certainly entertains me atleast, done a 8.5s - 60mph at ford fair last year just before i fitted the cams, and again before the cams it made 126bhp at Gotboost rolling road in south wales

[evil knievel]

Sweet but dog legs are cabby wheels, rst's are much cooler... here's my van sitting on a set..

 

[zetecmk2]

[jonyb4]

 

yea they're a bit square for the curvy Si imo

 

very tidy mk4 van though!

[arch]

my mates got a k plate xr2i an his is sat on rs500 cossie latice rims looks sweet as fudge lol

[jonyb4]

little update on this, it failed its mot week ago friday, its currently being welded up on the sills where it failed, should make the retest deadline friday

 

then plans to take it back on a rolling road, likely gotboost in south wales, and to go around track at castle combe spring action day
