Hi all, i recently got my fiesta for £575 with 60K on the clock. im going to be putting a xr/rs body kit on it and some other things on it too. heres some pics when i bought it. there is one problem with oil on the air filter in a few of the pics , any advise on that would be good. see what you think.

[knuckles]

nice base car you have there.

That isnt a problem with air filter. Simply clean the oil from the plastic air box and buy and fit a new air filter.

[0010]

cheers for the comment and advice, but im going to get an induction kit instead. so there is no problem oil getting up to the air filter?

cheers sam

[knuckles]

The k&n induction kit is not worth wasting your money on - All it does is makes it sound better and looks nice.

Try drilling a few holes in the back of the air box to allow the engine to breath a bit more.

Also check the oil breather pipes to see if any of them are blocked up with sludge.

[0010]

ill check the pipes tomorow see where its coming from.

cheers

looks like the car does/done lots of short trips. i would take the rocker cover off and clean it out, same with the breather pipes

agreed with knuckles ...
unless it is a cheap second hand one (no more than £25 etc)
i used to have a 1.1 HCS drilled the BACK of the air box made loads of noise, has a k&n panel filter aswell, simply because it'd never need changing again..
didn't go any faster though....

Ive got exactly the same car as you but in silver.

If you do go for a k&n they're no use in the winter as they freeze up the throttle assemble and stop the engine

[0010]

lol cheers i think im gunna just drill some holes in the plastic so it sounds abit better. ill post some pics soon as ive done a few things to it now.

[0010]

heres some new pics got all the rear seats, trim, belts etc out passenger seat and the trim on the body work but not on the door as im getting c/l + e/w doors, also removed rear bumper.

[Dazza]

Why have you stripped the interior?

[0010]

getting a full respray and redoing the sound proofing and generaly making it look good. also making sure theres no rust under everything.

[Jonezy]

want some new interior? ive got a full set of seats that have done less than 25000 miles no burns wears or stains, pm me if you interested.


you goin for the same colour.

[bikerlegend]

[0010]

all im going to change is the carpet because its got holes in, im going to paint the dash and most of the plastics black. cheers for the offer but im goin to keep my seats for abit even though there abit crap.

[bikerlegend]

dont paint your interior black, i bought a car where someone had sprayed some of the interior black and now it is all peeling off, just leave it how it is, kawasaki green should be intresting not my cup of tea really, try getting either an si or recaro interior you dont want to keep the seats you have i there at the moment do you?

[0010]

my mates a auto repair specialist and hes doing all the spraying for me and i asked him if it would peal but he sed hes got the proper interior paint so i hope it wont peal. i thought id go for something different , my mate sprayed his escort van kawazaki green and it looked really good so it should turn out good. i want recaro interior but im going to leave that for abit want to get the outside and engine working all good.

[Raymondo]

Ive just spotted your from Kings Langley, im from Abbots. Looks a nice base for a project there. Someone else has done a Fiesta bright green oonhere and it looks pretty good. I think it was S1, try doing a search for it.

What other plans have you got?

[0010]

kl, u go to the cruises round watford and hemel then?
im getting it lowered, tints, team dynamics pro race 1.2's but dont know what size?, disc's pads and shoes, rear box, clear lights, new doors from nomad hopefully and front and rear bumper, rs bodykit. just need the zetec turbo now. i thinks thats enough for the time being.

[DunnysMK3]

bit off topic but, were the rear speaker plastic bits hard to remove?

also, how did you do it?

[0010]

nothing is to hard to remove from the rear really, it was just a few screws and it came out simple really.

[jimmyesh]

Nice clean project car there, cant wait to see how it turns out.

[0010]

Hi all,

Got everything out now and its up at my mates workshop ready for painting. Got the rs bodykit now and were sorting out a few minor cracks in it.

cheers ,try your local scrap yard or post on here or passionford for the bits you need, i got my bodykit in a day of ringing the bloke up which was good because i need it the next day.

stupid me shoved a screwdriver under the windscreen and tryed levering it out and cracked it but i was getting all new windows anyway.

anyone know how to remove the window holder (i think it is that, its inside the door) which covers the door catch and one of the outside door handle screws, but its not on the passengers side because the door is a new door. if any one can understand that and answer my question it would be helpful.

cheers sam

[Ghost]

do you mean that sort of metal covering that is sealed in?

if so its a case of cutting the sealer and pulling it out, but be warned...it will never go back in!!

wish i had a mate that could spray

[0010]

yeah thats what i ment, cheers, i tryed removing it with no luck ill try again tommorow.

wish i had a mate that could spray

doesnt every car modder but its still costing me about £450.

[Xr_Dub]

[0010]

Update:

A Few pics of the filled bits primered and the bodykit primered, also a shot of the colour on a scrap.










The colour

[Raymondo]

[E4Fiesta]

Looking good mate! Be interesting to see how it turns out! Will definately turn heads

Keep it up! Craig.

Fook thats bright Where are you going to put the numberplate?
If I were you id get a rear bumper with a recess for one before it all gets sprayed!
