Picked My new fiesta project up today , plans are keep her clean sort the little bit of body work there is and generally look after her , no mods planed

one previous owner from new
37,000 miles

[RSGeorge]

Looks tidy that, whats the plans with it then?

EDIT - Jusr re read it lol

[xr2irhys]

id like to use all ford parts on her aswell but progress would be rather slow and be saving months just for parts

[Dave G fsi]

Nice clean base there

[EUFez]

Nice and clean. Give the bay abit of a clean up. Keep up on the rust if any, as I thought I'd be fine with my Fiesta. But it soon catches up on you, damn Mk3's, they rust so quickly so easierly. Good purchase though mate! Any idea what the colour is?

[xr2irhys]

Yeah plan to get back arch done professionally just a bit worried it being shades out etc being freshly painted !

not sure on colour name will have to look the code up , its grey with green tinge , down as green on logbook.

[jayrs]

looks a nice tidy motor there mate

[jonyb4]

lovely little fiesta mate, looks great and man thats low miles, a 1.1 is it? according to the airbox

please dont ruin it

what happend to the mk4?


im interested to know the colour name too, not seen it before and looks nice


keep us posted

[Max M4X WW]

[emblem]

Dunno why you say that for craig nothing ive dones been chavy to be fair i dont see wacking great kits and spoilers on any of my cars lol

Yeah i thought the colour was diffirent and not so common either

Mk4s my road car , this is my project

as for people saying look after etc i will be , just hopfully can sort some money out and get the minor rust sorted , just worried the colour match will be poor!

[EUFez]

Don't worry about the colour match. Buy a machine polisher. It does the job, trust me.

[xr2irhys]

Ive got a sander that has velco polishing pads you can get for it , never used it propperly to apply and buff off polish as dont want to ruin the paint so need advice from some one in that area

[rst-steve]

Looks a nice base for a project that, very low miles!!

EX.............. local car too

[xr2irhys]

How you know its local?

Spray bottle with it set to fine mist, and spray the area first, that way the paint wont be dry and wont burn. Also don't spend ages on one area and don't use loads of pressure, just let it do the work for you!

[rst-steve]

How you know its local?

It's a local car to Norfolk i mean

The two letters at the end of the plate chap, EX is Great Yarmouth

[xr2irhys]

Really Did not know plates told locations lol , the main dealers are from norwich that its on if remember correctly will have another look

[xr2irhys]

Hopefully ill get her going road worthy in time for FITP and then ill swap insurnace over for a month and tax her and bring her alone , if any one fancys a gander ?

[rst-steve]

Yeah if it's Norwich that'll be Lex Ford or possibly Bussey's i'd assume.......

[xr2irhys]

Busseys bought her in norwich too , talk about sticking right at home

[rst-steve]

Nice!

[xr2irhys]

ah also keeping the car in norwich at the mo to do her up lol need to get a car cover really keep her dry!

[jonyb4]

my Si was originally from Essex, now its in south Wales, gone quite far lol

[xr2irhys]

checking her over today

[xr2irhys]

cleaned the bay today also car and also mot inspected her

will let pictures do the talking

[Max M4X WW]

Does it have a snapped front spring?

And are those pics before or after you cleaned the engine?

[xr2irhys]

pics are after,not cleaned the engine fully and gear gox have cleaned just a patch to see how it will come up,will look lovely once whole bay cleaned

as for Mot,

one spring
Uj joint to steering

all brakes and bearings are good how ever spongey brakes so either just need a bleed,or wheel cylinders most common to leak,will check brakes next time round.

[jonyb4]

it doesnt appear to be in best mechanical condition given the milage, was it mainly kept outside?

best looking part is the brake pipes

[xr2irhys]

not sure he got it from an auction,as for mechanically to be fair its done 40k so a snapped spring and uj is nothing,buy a new fiat that would be back in the first 5k... nothing to say what work the cars had from new

it has metalic paint

code has a 6 in so , star dust silver,logbooks green lol.

[Excursion]

That's nice, wait until we've had a a couple of weeks of hot weather over the summer and Waxoyl it

[FiestaBen]

it doesnt appear to be in best mechanical condition given the milage, was it mainly kept outside?

best looking part is the brake pipes

so just because it's low mileage, it's not expected to have 3 problems?

[Excursion]

It looks like a good, honest car to me. For 16 probably un-garaged years, it's very good.

[xr2irhys]
