groundedescort Posted April 10, 2012 Report Posted April 10, 2012 it seems to be all early fiesta steering wheel interior engine but front wheel drive ? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FORD-100E-/130678937931?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item1e6d12594b
BaileyMex Posted April 10, 2012 Report Posted April 10, 2012 Nothing against modding, but it does not sit right, wheels look out of place, BUILT ON A 98 FIESTA FLOORPAN, 80,000 MILES So it's a Fiesta really, and someone has bolted onto it the 100E panels body shell No longer a 100e in my eyes BUT...........each to their own
groundedescort Posted April 10, 2012 Author Report Posted April 10, 2012 yeah agree with that i think it looks ok but how do you value a 100e looking fiesta ? and front wheel drive mmmm..... not for me either
groundedescort Posted April 10, 2012 Author Report Posted April 10, 2012 haha i was looking for the like button ! lol
Fiesta Steve Posted April 11, 2012 Report Posted April 11, 2012 You could look at it as the coolest Fiesta you could ever buy !!!! I like it, you get the old skool looks in something that should drive like a modern car. With the correct parts fitted the car could be very fast and handle well too, all of which would be very simple now someone has done the hard work. 2 litre zetec turbo anybody
youngpecker Posted April 11, 2012 Report Posted April 11, 2012 Looks ok!,will be interesting to see what it makes.
mk2 mike Posted April 11, 2012 Report Posted April 11, 2012 S'alright I 'spose. I'd have to do something with the interior though.
herb capri Posted April 12, 2012 Report Posted April 12, 2012 that is mad!! take a rear wheel drive car,which is a great starting point,and then spend weeks on a conversion to er,front wheel drive?? i reckon it would be heavy,wont handle or accelerate,lots of spinning wheels,etc the question is why not go zetec to the rear wheels,got to be easier but hats off for determination! i do feel inspired tho ,im going to take a 50s bsa motorbike and turn it into a fwd moped!!! mike

jas Posted April 12, 2012 Report Posted April 12, 2012 front wheel drive its taken the fun out of driving a old ford got to say its a big no from me would rather see a old push xflow in her
groundedescort Posted April 12, 2012 Author Report Posted April 12, 2012 i can clearly see both sides to it but my first thoughts were that looked good then read it and a very dissapointing read learning that its front wheel drive, if i wanted another old skool ford it wouldnt be for me, if i was 17 and getting it on classic insurance it would be a great first car !

Mick The Cabbie Posted April 14, 2012 Report Posted April 14, 2012 I've seen quite a few 100E's converted to FWD. I wonder why?? It's not like ya see loads of other old skool RWD cars converted to FWD as well....just 100E's
LUKE261 Posted April 15, 2012 Report Posted April 15, 2012 you get old skool looks with new skool reliability, its not really expensive the ideal car for a 17 year old, how many 1998 cars are tax exempt?
groundedescort Posted April 15, 2012 Author Report Posted April 15, 2012 i dont understand how this has been done and is it even legal as in 90 percent is fiesta floorpan etc is fiesta as interior are fiesta seats and steering wheel etc as you look in engine bay suspension top turrets are fiesta so its a fiesta in my eyes its just body panels that are 100e so can it really have 100e number plates on it ? its like a mk1 escort i saw with a mk2 front end does that make it a mk2 then ? i know its the other way round but i would say more than half of it is fiesta ?
willsy Posted April 15, 2012 Report Posted April 15, 2012 Looks like a damn good buy Shame about the front wheel drive
