Fiesta mk2 - ready for ford fair !
Re: Fiesta mk2 - performance ford featured
You've certainly transformed the car! Looks great!
I do think the 14's would suit it much better though, especially from the rear perspective.

Finally got it out the garage since October 2012.
Taxed & flew through its mot.
Fixed the slipping belt - put a smaller belt on then retensioned alternator away from front panel.
Even had time to give it a wash
Roll on ford fair !

Re: Fiesta mk2 - ready for ford fair !
I'm alright frag, I made the choice not to go, and I'm all fairness for what I've spent on the rs, what it cost to keep it insured, mot'ed and garaged along with 1 months driving a year (not this year though) as well as past ford fairs as gutted as I am not to of gone, I'm happy enough as it meant the wife could hve a decent 40th birthday weekend.

Re: Fiesta mk2 - ready for ford fair !

Re: Fiesta mk2 - ready for ford fair !
fair play, depending how long it took ice to build up it could of been a iffy fan motor.
Although I said it could of been a cheap fix, I never really worked on domestic fridges as the labour cost with my old company could work out more than what the units worth, although I did do a few through the company, but if you know where to go for the parts it can work out very cheap but in a lot of cases, its just easier and more cost effective to bin it and get a new one.
Unless ford fairs round the corner, then it's more effective to keep sending the missis to the shop for a pint of milk and a pack of frozen sausages

I didn't take many good photos this year but this photo sums up this morning
Arrived a hour too early but missed all the traffic and no horrid cues coming in.

I turned up about a minute after that photo, the grass was pretty wet, the mk2 was pretty mint too!!
