As the title says im 16 and got my first car about 4 weeks ago so now the owner of a 1989 1.4lx fiesta
got it from a scrap yard where they were going to strip it so i thought id save it as it is a pretty clean car inside and out
so unfortunately it was a 5 door but its growing on me

so when i got it , it was missing ht leads so got them and some oil and fule and of course new spark plugs and still dosnt work so my mate came and was looking and we tried staring it again also puting it in gear to try and bump start it but nothing then we head a big bang we had a look and nothing so we decided to remove the starter motore and the cam belt housing and to my surprise the belt had snaped but not because it was old because there waas a chunk of metal jammed imbertween the bottom cog and belt so just ordered a new belt but the bottom cog looks a bit worn down so ive got to see how the belt sits.

plans for it:
get it driving
lower it 60mm on new springs
new interior
xr21 wheels
get a set of tail lights from germany and get rid of the revers light
paint front and back bumpers black also smooth the grove in them

ps how do i upload picture so you can view the without clicking a link

thanks

Nothing wrong with a 5dr!

[fastfezz]

lovin the car would put the skits on but cant be asked to bother with the back arches with the doors

[Gus!!]

Yay another 5 door!! If you wanna upload a picture you need a photo bucket account mate. 60mm springs are the way forward!!

heres mine - road-track-mk3-project-d-vt197983/

[fastfezz]

sorry for the long update but I have been doing some rust repair as its getting closer to winter and don't want it getting any worse so the drivers side is complete and is ready for a coat of paint but the colour is a difficult one because aqua jade is a really light green and through the years the colours got darker so its difficult to match

but I brought my self a bargain from a mk3 1.6s overiders with headlight washer jets to start project retro

bargain at 31quid inc postage and package

[hamps]

Love the G plate cars , nice rare headlamp washers

[fastfezz]

Yeah I know they come Monday just got to figure out to to plum them in as they don't come with the piping

[fastfezz]

just finished putting on my overiders here are a few pics

this is what the driver side looks like now

[fastfezz]

and went to the scrappy to have a look around and found my self a ford book holder hers some pics with all the books i got with the car including the leaflet from ford saying about changing to unleaded from ford them self
hear they are

[fastfezz]

small update been doing abit more sanding down to get rid of imperfections in the paint and beating the rust befor it starts but ran out of sand paper will upload some pictures

plus im now going for the full rs accessory kit to give it more of a retro look but cant find any
but looks like I need a new master cylinder so if any one have one for sale in the Essex area for a 89 1.4 that would be great as I can sort out the brakes or if you could tell me if I could replace the sills inside it and how to do it would be a great help

[fastfezz]

been a little while since I updated this but been researching on my car while its been raining and found out that the car was first registered in 1989 but then registered in 1990 plus the colour it is called aqua jade and was introduced in 1990 which means my car is a bit rare from what a ford worker said in a ford dealer

plus pictures are gonna be put up tomorrow

[fastfezz]

been a while since i updated but i have rebuilt the master as one of the pistons springs had jammed not alowing the master to work properly few pics of the first piston out soaked it all in brake fluid berfore puting back together to bleed the brakes so got brakes now for the first time
