unsure on keeping it standard really wont to turbo it new suspension and better brakes but first things first a good service sort the washers give it a right good clean then il start to make plans for it i do have a set of gti alloys that need painting then sort some new tyres o and change the cd player asap

well as they say pictures say a thousand words not a lot done need to look at the brakes this week and exhaust wots every ones thoughts of changing the mirrors to mk3.5 mirrors o and ive got some gti alloys for it probably going to change the cd player and steering wheel and gear knob

[willowandmikey]

Whatever you change keep the originals as they can become daughter after, also good if you want to put it back to standard

and this is my mk1 fiesta work in progress


and this is the wifes zetec s which she has just bought


will be trying to keep a log on all the cars and the manily the rebuild of the mk1 and the xr

[Rs Adz]

well a bit of back ground now ive had the mk1 since september 2010 bought of ebay very cheap two lady owners low 28tho mileage 950cc popular plus but needed a bit of welding well the bit of welding was going to be done by me and my mates but when getting it home of stripping it down found most panels need some work so its be sat looking like this


but i have most of the panels now which are as follows
2 x rear quarters
2 x inner rear arches
n/s inner sill
o/s inner sill
o/s outer sill
n/s outer sill
one pair of skinny bumpers
one pair of mirrors
adjusted panard bar
5 x pepperpots
2x second hand wings
1 new front panel
2 x A post repair sections
so lots of work to do i have loads of pics so will link a couple once i have sorted them

[Rs Adz]

the zetec s bought last week of ebay nice car on 97 thou only thing different from factory is the bump strips have been colour codded plans are timing belt water pump full service and anti roll bar bushes then get saving for a full paint job as it needs some paint in places maybe some mods not 100%
these are the only pics i have which are off the ebay ad
















only thing ive done till i can get it on a ramp this week or nxt ( joys of having a mate with a large unit and a ramp ) is changed the radio as it didnt work to a aftermarket cheap jvc so the mrs has some music and ive washed it
