hi guys, names luke from hastings, I was pointed this way by my friend scott(he's currently restoring his mk1 escort) and thought i'd come look around

 

i'm on the look out for a mk1/2 fiesta to get as a project, this isn't a wanted add but ifu wanna pm me feel free lol,

 

I've had a fair few fords before but fancy a little fiesta to turn into a fun car....plus it's always good to save 1 from the scrappers huh?

 

i'm looking at spending around £300 on the car it's self(with or without an engine) and put it in my garage to do as a build,

 

looking at engine choices also, i'm thinking about a 2ltr zetec with bike carbs, opinions and suggestions welcome, wanna stay carbed if poss as it's simpler and looks more tidy 'wire' wise,

 

input welcome

Welcome to OSF Luke

 

Have a look in our Old Skool cars for sale forum, there's a very nice yellow mk1 in there just now but it's hardly what could be called a project, a lot higher than your budget toop but perhaps an example to aspire to?
