Here is my Black Fiesta RS Turbo

Picked it up from Lance, slaney21, yesterday morning

Photos of it this morning, headlight protectors have been removed from when I collected it and the cassette dashboard holder has been removed as well







Here are a few after changing some bits over this morning. I have put the amber indicators back in, removed the dump valve and also fitted my RS steering wheel




Just needs a wash now

The chrome parts, headlight protectors and boot install are all being sold but I have plenty of things planned and will update this thread in due course

Comments welcome

Good to see its gone to a good home, and to a member of ft.com.

Looking forward to seeing what plans you have.

[Turboboy67]

As I've told several times, you've got the bargain of the year there mate,

I'm not sure on that steering wheel though

Will look so much better with all that chrome binned.

I just love the standard look on these nowadays, must be my age

Enjoy

Steering wheel looks orange in the picture but it is definately red

The camera threw a wobbly taking that picture because it wasnt expecting the sun to be out !!

awesome mate, looks really good

like the ambers and new RS wheel

going to be a gr8 project

[black2]

Thats very similar to my FRST.

TBH though I also prefer the standard look and yours looks very original from the outside.

I agree wuth your plans about getting rid of all the chrome. I think it would also be better if you could source the standard air box and fit that, just seems to tidy the bay up a lot more.

Looks tidy Scott, make sure you take good care of her!

[Dave G fsi]

Looks lovely!

[sjoyce666]

Just a few pictures of the car in the snow yesterday morning before I cleaned it all off and drove to work




The roads were a little icier today so I didnt risk driving it and walked

Scott

[Dave G fsi]

[sjoyce666]

ambers

Will be modelling some amber sides soon as well

Ambers are the way forward !!

Scott

[rsonblackwheels]

cool pics

ambers FTW, i gotta get some

[Chopper69]

Lovely car, bar the steering wheel!

[Dave G fsi]

Ambers are definitely the way to go!

[dannyxr2i]

gota agree with all others.. amber and a black rs allways goes down well.. 1st thing i did when got mine home,in the dark to lol...

[sjoyce666]

Needs amber sides as well though

Hopefully getting these soon along with a few bits and then all the chrome can finally come off and be sold

It needs a wash as well as it will look a million times better when it is shiny

Scott

[dannyxr2i]

Not after any standard parts now

I've sourced the parts I need to replace the chrome, just waiting for them to arrive, or for me to collect them

Hoping to get the car in the garage when the snow and ice melts outside of it so I can get cracking on removing the chrome

Scott

[slaney21]

any more updates on the car mate?

really gutting seeing the pictures of it again. I keep seeing a red xr2i going about and it makes me feel sick knowing that i haven't got a fiesta anymore

hope all is well fella

No updates at the moment Lance

I have removed the majority of the chrome parts now which are up for sale in various places, quite a bit has sold already

I'm curerntly thinking about what I want to do with the car but I think I will be selling it on in the near future so there probably wont be many more updates to be honest

Scott

[slaney21]

sorry to hear that mate

will keep track of it either way if possible and see what becomes of her

[jonyb4]

these are always lookers in black mate, yours is no exception

be loads better with the (insert ghey rap term) and red wheel gone though

[sjoyce666]

Here are a few updated pictures of the car

It has been in the garage for around 6 months now and I thought it was time to get it going again

It looks rough in the pictures and it needs a good clean. As you can see the majority of the chrome has now been removed

It is now out of tax and MOT so that needs sorting first. Charged the battery and it fired straight up but it wont idle so I expect I need to adjust something from when I had the throttle cable off to remove the chrome







Will update again once I've given it a good clean, once the idling has been sorted I will get it off for a MOT and see what happens from there

Scott

does look a bit rough dont it, reason i covered mine, but i had to uncover it due to roof leaking and mine is covered in spider $hit and all sorts now

[sjoyce666]

Basically the same as what has happened to mine

The roof was leaking and I knew I was going to leave the car in the garage so got a tarpaulin and nailed that to the roof to keep the worst of the weather out. The marks on the car are where the roof has dried out and the dust and rubbish that has come out of the boards has fallen on the car

With a decent clean it looks like most of it will come off without too much hassle

Scott

[slaney21]

really wish i didn't have to get rid of it

will be good to see it up and running properly again though. Will stay in touch about the banana pipe dude

[jayrs]

its a paint when they leak aint it, 8 months of complaining and the council replaced the roofs on all the garages, but they fitted metal roofs, and the condensation builds up and drips down, so cant win

Yeah I tried to claim on my house insurance but they said it hadnt been upkept so declined the claim

Stuck the tarpaulin over it for the winter and hopefully have it sorted over the summer

Scott

[jayrs]

dont mate, i might still have to make a claim for the damage to the RS yet

[slaney21]

Hey Scott any news on whats happening with the RS? I really want to get behind the wheel of another (Fingers crossed after we sorted out the wedding) Really miss driving this car

Once I have got rid of my Si shell it is being broken as it needs inner and out sill one side, outer sill the other side and a section of the floor welding where it has had a very poor repair in the past

Unfortunately to get the work done is not economical so it will be broken as it is worth more in parts

[slaney21]

sorry to hear mate. Shame really as i was assured it was mint when i bought it but with the headgasket repair which i wasn't told of amongst a few other things it just seems a pisser

Just out of interest would it cost a lot for the parts you mentioned to be rectified?

hope your well mate
