Rusty373 Posted April 17, 2015 Report Posted April 17, 2015 Thought I would stick up a couple of pictures of the Fiesta I bought a few months ago. I work overseas so its going to be a slow job getting it to where I want it but made a start last month. Removed interior to check under carpet, pleased to find original underlay in place (and dry) and no rust under it. Refitted interior replacing XR2 seats with RS16i fronts and an RS 4 spoke steering wheel. Still have things to do inside but I will get there. Also removed the pepperpots and fitted the 7x13 Allycats I bought, shod with 175/60 rubber. Managed to find original centre caps in great condition and 4 sets of NOS Cosmic wheel nuts (inc a locking set) so converted to studs. Also fitted a SS exhaust mated to a new Ashley 4-2-1, looks shiny and sounds nice, not too loud! Swapped the standard headlights for Golf items, will eventually remove spots and either leave it or fit some NOS Hella's I picked up. Have an original Austrian roof spoiler to go on but at the moment I am reluctant to drill holes for the fixings.
Rusty373 Posted April 17, 2015 Author Report Posted April 17, 2015 Cheers fella's, appreciate the comments.....just starting out again after having to sell my Mk2 Escort a couple of years ago, so nice to be back.
mk2 mike Posted April 17, 2015 Report Posted April 17, 2015 Looks yummy. I'm not sure if out the roof spoiler on...
richiewelsh79 Posted April 18, 2015 Report Posted April 18, 2015 I'm in the same boat working away a lot but this should be mot'd next month & can crack on with other jobs & enjoy some summer roadtrips
Rusty373 Posted April 18, 2015 Author Report Posted April 18, 2015 Nice mate...good luck, hope it sails through. Hoping to get mine MOT'd in July when I am home next, then get a few miles on it before coming back to work.
richiewelsh79 Posted April 18, 2015 Report Posted April 18, 2015 Cheers mate, same to you. Hopefully a nice summer ahead for some nice drives out
Rusty373 Posted September 3, 2016 Author Report Posted September 3, 2016 Been a while since I added to this, made a few changes, had the engine bay painted and engine rebuilt. Now got bvh, Piper 285, lightened flywheel etc. SD cage fitted, pair of harnesses and few more bits tidied, finally got everything in order and got my UK reg sorted so been for a few blasts in it. Mike at Peterborough Classics and Custom did the engine bay and rebuilt the engine for me, got it on the dyno and now putting out 106 bhp@ wheels. Can't speak highly enough of the team there, great guys and very good at what they do. Next job is to tidy up the underneath and hopefully get to a few shows
Rusty373 Posted January 20, 2019 Author Report Posted January 20, 2019 Decided on a change of wheels.....Also fitted Gaz adustables and a rear adjustable strut brace, changed a few bits under the bonnet. 3
