As the last couple of fiesta turbo's ive bought have turned out to be totally dogs i picked up a other shell atthe weekend off matty872 . it needs sill both front wings and a front panel as im being fussy .

the bootlid had started to rot along the bottom edge so this has now been changed with my other one . the front bumper had been cut out for a grs intercooler so this has also been changed for my other bumper .

the front wings are now on order the front panel i already have and the sills which matt had already bought



floors look all good



engine bay looks good aswell





also have this intercooler to go on aswell so no cutting the front bumper




i have a new pair of gen ford wishbones for the front 6 pot tarrox brakes i have also ordered polybushe's for the rear beam and anti roll bar .



engine wise will be a fully rebuilt engine with a ported head and cosworth t3 turbo

will update as i go along

Good shell that one apart from the little bit of rust! Suspension on it used to be on my blue one.

yea i no its still the same width as a standard one am not sure who it is made by but seems a good one

Good to see another one being saved, doesn't look like it needs too much work. As others have said, the intercooler looks good

[tom9876]

cheers mate will hopefully start welding it in the next couple of weeks just need to order to the wings . and get my mate to rebuild the head for me

[RS EDDIE]

Get amongst it mate, looksa good base!!!

[Dave5300]

looks good mate, another black ones always a bonus

[tom9876]

thought i would put these pics up aswell

brakes that will be going on




wheels that will be going when i get them back off my brother

[tom9876]

another small update had a result today my friend has sold mehis steel rods for a cvh at a price i couldn't refuse just need a set of pistons now

[tom9876]

small update the car still is not welded have been waiting 3 weeks now for it to be done so im not happy lol .
on the upside though ive decided that i am going to buy a decent set of pistons this year and as i want the car out i a m going to use my other engine for now . so today this happened




and the back end with the boot fitted and a decent set of standard lights




am going to finish tidying up my engine loom tomorrow and will get it fitted up this week also have got my comps back now although my brother has re styled one of them for me curb style lol

[Dave5300]

i need to get mine back together, love yours mate, will be great when its done!

[mikeymikeyp]

Where to start well its black so its off to a really good start

sell those massive 6 pots mate cos you deffo wont need them with just a cvh and spend the cash you get from them on a nice set of pistons you already have a nice set of con rods HEY my mate might have a set of acralte pistons ,,I am sure he has what size are the cvh pistons

anyhow "your" car
I just think that those brakes are massive and with those comp you could put standard disks on and it wont matter because of the rims they are lovely on a frst Are you keeping them white ,, after the damage your sister done to that 1

[tom9876]

lol the brakes look big in the pic but he discs are only 280mm i wanna do a few trackdays in it this year and they were cheap lol . dunno if to leave the comps white or do them yellow or black . . unsure on what size the pistons are will have a measure up later . have finished sorting the loom out so will get that fitted up today maybe

[tom9876]

tried my comps on today also fitted rad and intercooler







if all goes well it could be running by weekend and may well be welded up by weekend

[Dave5300]

looks great

[Rs Adz]

love a black frst keep up the good work

[tom9876]
