After 2 years owning a RS1800 i have decided to rebuild my own one
old fiesta

Later when it's finsihd i wan't a 2.1 zetec turbo engine in it, so lot's to do

Because the old chassis wasn't salvageable anymore i scrapped that one and bought a xr2i 1.6 for the shell

To bad that the new shell was also a bit of pain in the ass



Let's start with the holes ( other side exactly the same )

[Razer]

Welding














new front panels

[Razer]

Left side, stripped down the inside and welded a new mould etc



Some small holes in the rear







Smooth and filled up side



Also fixed the sunroof, only the pics are reallly bad quality

I have fit 1 right side front screen, 2 sills , right side filler cap and arch

[Razer]

The small badboy bonnet





I have bought a Zetec S rearbumper and smoothed tailgate




Fitted the original rs bumper with a MCR lower spoiler, never fitted , so brand new

[Razer]

engine removal ( i know, done it before the welding )




With my sunday haircut , and the bloody engine woudn't come out

[Razer]

Allright, some new stuff that's going to be fitted on the car

sand blasted and coated cosworth calipers and RS2000 rear calipers, with brand new seals



refurbished windscreen motor etc



Sand blasted and powder coated engine parts



Also powdercoated and blasted rear axle and subframe



And fitted with PU bushes

nice work there mate . how did u spot weld the outta sill at the bottom as the inner sill was so rotten ?

[Razer]

I also fitted a new inner sill , and the spotwelded the outer sill on to that

[rs-tom]

oh do inner sills weld to the floor

[Razer]

Yes, the whole sill was like a paper

[Razer]

Now you see it..


Now it's gone

[Razer]

Some pictures from the bodyshop/ painter

I wanted a normal ford color, i had 2 choices: Imperial blue ( fiesta sport ) or pacifica blue from the XR2i
After some good thinking i went for the pacifica blue color, because every one does the imperial blue.

Lovely blue doors







One week later









Old vs. new



Also refurbished the wheelhouse, and fitted some full lock restrictors for my new wheels

Progress is coming along nicely

[Razer]

And there is much to do .. it's like a never ending story

[jonyb4]

looking great, good efforts, nice to see it being saved

[Razer]

I have bought some new plastic headers , also a almost new main brake cillinder with a brake booster




here the result from the painter






Also fitted the Zetec S rearbumper:





It's comming complete

[Razer]

[Razer]

Because a fiesta isn't the most quietest car in the world, i want to improve that.
I bought 15 rolls of rhinomat for isolation



Cleaning up





And the whole floor is wrapped



And trying to finnish the car, also put the rhinomat in the trunk, doors, and rear wings

[Razer]

Look nice with the smoked rear taillights. Also fitted the rear windscreen with new brand new rubbers






Now the real headache begins, custom wirring the whole car ( pieces of the door )



Bought a custom doorwirring from a fiesta mk3.5 , and fitted mooooore wires in it.. resulting in 1 empty pin

Awesome project mate

[Ratspeed]

Brilliant project matey! lovely paintwork

[jonyb4]

looking good, its going to be really nice once finished

[Razer]

Thanks m8's.

The problem is,, that he is finnishd.. but also stripped again
Escort cosworth front, and special custom headlights, Intercooler need to be fitted
Also the wirring in the engine bay is not what i want, so i want to customize that also.

[Razer]

Another small update



RVS milltek exhaust

4-2-1 manifold
RVS race catalyst
RVS flexipipe
4x rvs flanges,



fitting the arches



With 10 million pliers


Dashboard fitted with the main loom

[jonyb4]

nice mate, is that the dash light kit i think it is?

[Razer]

I think you mean this



Bought a brand new set of foglight etc, never fitted and stored in the attic for many years



Black diamond brake hoses

[- Danny Boy -]

Getting there mate!

[jonyb4]

i gotta get me some of them!

they the ones on ebay for £40ish quid/euro?

[Razer]

Yes, but look very well, because there are also others with a different patern for the lights.

[jonyb4]

they hard to fit?

did you have to remove the needles?

hated the last time i dont that took weeks to get the needles calibrated again (and alot of driving past them speed checks they strap to lamp posts over here )

[Razer]

No you can slide them over the needles.
I didn't want to remove those.. the horror

[knuckles]

if you dont mind me asking how much did you pay for the steering limiter kit from ford ?

i bought the exact same kit over here and just wanted to compare prices

Lovely project btw.
Nice colour too
keep up the good work

[Razer]

i have paid in euro's ( because im dutch ) i paid 110 euro's for it. Last set in holland
For you it's about : 95 pond

[Razer]

Ok, the engine stuff.
Just pulled out the RS1800 engine from the donor ( daily ride ) as you can see, it's not the most prettiest in the world





Standard exhaust manifold..splitt in half



Bit of color .. yea i know.. but this will not be the final engine
