1978 mk1 fiesta turbo project - breaking
with a heavy heart iv decided im breaking my long term project has I don't see its ever going to get finished and storage is becoming a problem.
This guts me as she aint far off finished but I don't have the knowledge and iv spent way more doh than I should of..
everything either new or refurbed as I bought it a completely bare rolling shell.
I aint dead certain on prices or how far im going to strip it yet but I need to drag as much money back as poss of this.
ill load a few pics up of the car for now and list parts iv collected off top of my head and see what interest I get.
abit about the shell.i bought it of my mate who bought the car originally off a elderly chap with 40,000 miles up it.he started the project then lost interest.still on the original back archers.only thing that's been changed is the front wings and they line up really well.engine bay is all smoothed and seam welded with a cvh/zetec mount from the fiesta centre also a one of there 5 speed conversion kits.also had a weld in strut brace on the rear fully stripped out with a safety devices 6 point cage.the shell was fully painted inside and out including the engine bay roughly 1.5 years ago..including the sills and lower rear corners and back panel,floor pans and boot floor stone chipped new door and boot seals all around.
