Re: H647 MEV FRST Restoration Update 30/12/12
you did a really nice job but I have a question
you cut that iron bar in front of the exhaust between the headlights, my question is if your don't have any problem with the frame when you bend or because you have a high torque too?
I know that you will put it in her place at the end but is the same like as was fixed?
I ask this because I want to do the same, because as we know, fiesta don't have many space there.
sorry by my poor english and good continuation at you restore

Yeah mate i see where you coming from,
As for structurally i dont think it makes a massive difference, but persoannly i would'nt have cut the front slam
panel, it was like that when i bought the shell.
But it did make life very easy when it comes to engine in/out and even working on the engine.
The slam panel before was just bolted in, you can see the bolt holes.
I am just gonna get a new slam welded in once its all sorted.
As mentioned previously either a big Rad/Intercooler has been fitted before or some one has cut it for easy work.
If yo udecide to cut your mate, just make sure its what you want to do, cos once you've cut it........

Hey fellas,
So just a small update as the snow up this end of the country has hit me bad; my FRST rest has gone on hold for 2-3weeks, but have been collected pieces.
1) Full set straight green stripes!
2) Radiator.
3) Drop links.
4) Exhaust.
5) Genuine FRST Spoiler
Soon to be all on the car; just need a nice dry day off!
