I believe the engine is out of a Ford Galaxy Ghia.

Compact Disc - :)


:lol:

Looks like a tight fit! look at the size of the fudgekin battery - did you knick it from one of Nasa's space shuttles?! :o

It's a VAG motor as found in the Golf VR6. Ford, VW and Seat shared the whole platform top to bottom for their people carriers. Different badge but they are all one and the same vehicle.

Really cool conversion and a nice bit of thinking outside the box :Q

Never argue with an idiot. They'll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience

:o Yep that's been shoe-horned into that bay! :aaah: I see you've had to take a hacksaw to the front panel, don't you think it would be a good idea to brace it again with something like a piece of alloy? I know you have the strutbrace across the strut tops but the front panel is still "open" :-?

Other than that, Impressive! :D As said before has it been timed? What transmission does it have?

I'm guessing that torque steer would be a major feature with that!!! :D :D

Gotta love it!!! Who's the next one to try this conversion???

Greetings !!!

Thank You All for Your opinion :) I'm very glad

I must say that's not the end of Fiesta vr6 modifications
I'm planing to install NOS system (ZEX it's dry installation but I think i would be enough) if it wouldn't be enough I'll install compressor form Corrado G60

The move on YouTube is beeing modified, It will be on server very soon !!!
