after having the cabby last year decided i was going to have a track car this year had the car 16v 2i and couldent get my old frst out of my head so it was decided that id build yet another frst from the grouned up lol this is my 15th fiesta and my 3rd rs 2 of which ive built from a shell so the plan was set to star sourcing all the parts :1356:

shell was founed and it was a shell not one nut clip screw or bolt was left on as the previous owner ian frst had bought eveyone new net screw bolt and the lot was going on e bay pics when it arived notice lack of lower arms

[heeman10]

Good on you Mark, there really wasn't much on there for you to work with was there?! I noticed the wiper stubs sitting low in that top pic...that pikey really did take everything with him didn't he?!

Those 45 profile tyres will probably cause you some problems.

What's the plan engine-wise then? Shame you didn't start earlier or you could've been at FITP! When did you last attend one matey??

[knuckles]

This all looks too familar

I wish my shell was that mint. I enjoyed rebuilding mine but wouldnt do it again... 4 months of pure stress and empty pockets

Good luck with the rebuild

i saw this when i came to collect those wheels off ya didnt realise you had built it up from a shell

[heeman10]

Dude! I sent Ian my original mint brake fluid reservoir, get it off him if you can, as that one lets the bay down IMO. A few tidy-up touches and that bay would be show-a-licious! Tis nice to see a well-practised Fiesta geek at work, you're really ripping through it all

[mrorange2]

Stunning mate you have done really well.

[fiesta boy]

Small world

[fiesta boy]

[chris-fiesta]

looking good mate...

what happened round the fuel pump area under rear bench??

[Smo]

looking good mate...

what happened round the fuel pump area under rear bench??

Often people can't be bothered or are unable (due to the clips breaking) to lower the tank to access the pump... Shame to see

[Ollybee]

Bloody hell!

Didn't see that!

[ianFRST]

looking good mate...

what happened round the fuel pump area under rear bench??

Often people can't be bothered or are unable (due to the clips breaking) to lower the tank to access the pump... Shame to see

to be fair, its easier to cut a bigger hole, than it is to lower the whole tank to remove the pump (and no, i didnt cut the hole, it was like that when i got it )

when the seats over it, it makes no difference what so ever, so why not make the hole bigger

ford rectified this and made the mk3.5 holes biger i think, didnt they?

[Ollybee]

You've still got to drop the tank on 3.5's.

[fiesta boy]

been repaired now no longer a hole lol made and aliminium template and rivited it into place untill i can drop the tank and replace the area lol

[andyhardy]

I had a hole cut out in mine and a panel that unbolts thus eliminating the need to remove the tank to change/check the fuel pump

[Marc D]
