Recently got this fiesta for £500 was originally an xr2i but when I got it had a rst lump in it, but I already had a zetec turbo ready to bolt in. So far I've changed the wheels, brakes, suspension interior, black dash, pretty much everything as it was all bog standard xr2i stuff when I got it. What do you think?





My brother works in a bodyshop so it is soon to be getting a new rear quarter, rs bonnet, unbutchered front bumper and boot, a few dents sorted out and a full respray, also plan to get some rs rear lights and that should do it I think. Any comments welcome.
Cheers,
Matt

[MattPym]

Very nice What power is she running??? How's the exhaust manifold holding up, No cracking???

[Xr_Dub]

thats nice mate

[Matt_fez]

Don't know what power really mate, hope to get it on the rolling road some time next month.

No cracks yet

I'll update with some pics of the freshly painted outside later tonight - see what you peeps think

Cheers,
Matt

[garyhurn77]

nice engine

should be 300bhp i would think at that spec

[Matt_fez]

Right here are some pictures of the progress and that I took last weekend when I cleaned her. Just come out of the bodyshop having some bits done, wiper & lock removed from boot, new rear 1/4, badge smoothed off bonnet, aerocatch bonnet catches fitted (with the GT30 the rad had to be moved forward so no room for bonnet catch ). Few dings and bits of rust sorted. Comments welcome.

I have just purchased some RS accessory clusters on the bay and am after some headlight protectors then the outside will be pretty much what I am aiming for. Hoping to get to FITP and a few other shows with it this year, then do a few more bits with the handling and a stage 3 head next winter.

I have loads of pictures if you want to see anymore

This is my brother when he had it in for paint.

[icewater01]

absolutely stunning!

[onslack]

what a beast

lovely looking car and a nice spec to match

[luca]

nice car there

[mrorange2]

Wow very nice wish i had finished mine now.

Love it mate!

[mk3modda]

nice spec makes me wanna build one. how much (if you dont mind me asking) did the engine and management cost you all in all?

[freekstyle]

that looks mental!

as said above good choice on wheels, just needs the green stripe to finish it.

luv it mate, good work
