Re: 1987 1.4 Fiesta Ghia - *engine detailing and gauges*
Well its ready to go really, done the cambelt, tensioner and water pump. Hopefully doing the clutch tomorrow then it's all set. I could go down a friends workshop this weekend and fit it but I'm not sure if I can be bothered knowing my luck i'll get the engine in and it wont run/start so thats putting it off at the moment. Can't be bothered to fit it then find out its not good, have to take it out and put my engine back in. I'll see what mood I'm in Friday

Oh god. Magnex. The last time you had a Magnex you woke up the occupants of a pleasure bus for kids with special needs.
Looks good though buddy!

XR lump has been sold. The 4 branch I had at fitp was mild steel, the magnex is stainless steel and are really rare to find for MK2s.
