so come on then wot the plan dude when we getting started

[Michael!]

well its touching my garage roof at the moment, begging for the subframe to be removed.
dont have a fooking clue where to start though haha!

[Michael!]

this is what happens when i get bored and have things lying around my garage

[jakerowles]

this is what happens when i get bored and have things lying around my garage

is it gona be a japan flag ?

[Ratspeed]

Why would you put some Jap car rubbish on yours?

[dontpannic]

I don't mean this to sound out of line, but I think you need a plan and to stick to it rather than doing random stuff because you're bored or angry. It always, always leads to a messy heap that nobody knows what to think, including the owner.

Although I think the idea is cool (Matt/gloss pattern) the Fiesta isn't a Japanese car.

I think you need to sit down and make a plan. What are you aiming for? Scene whore, OEM, or something else...?

[Ratspeed]

.............drift monster?

[- Danny Boy -]

Japanese sun on a ford...

[Michael!]

i understand it looks silly, but i was bored, and its all going matt black anyway

[Michael!]

and i havnt taken it seriously really, just rushed
into a lot of thinks. me and my girlfriend decided i should leave it until i have the money to sort it for realy, so im going to be doing little bits slowly and save up for the paint to be put back to how it was etc...

and im saving up now for a little 1.1 i cant tan about in, this whole threads full of s**t isnt it

why dont you just put it all backtogether make it roadworthy and use it as your saving for paint probarbly be cheaper plus you wouldnt have the pain of listening to a tappy hcs every day

[Michael!]

Because it's an mot failure and I don't have the money to tax/insure and mot it mate

[Michael!]

i made a plan, i sat down and i decided to stop messing about.
because messing about if for fools, i need to be mature where money is involved...


im going to make a build thread because of my plans, its going to be by no means a fast moving project, it'll probably take me about a year, butttt im hoping that the end result will make me proud, i've decided this because its just sat getting no further and i basically need a car to drive, and because im always on early shifts i have most of the day to do nothing now im out of college, so having a project car seems the best way to help me handle my frustration/what ever else you want to call it.

im going to list my plans, along with a dont/not done status... my aim is to now be at ford fair with this piece of s**t next year, and id like positive comments even if you dont like because im a moody c**t haha!
hope you guys will help me along the way too!

My plans are as follows; (and are going to be stuck too!)

Replace the steering rack
Finish the bodywork, i.e the s**t filler/fiberglass bits and completely matte black it
Refit Interior and replace drivers door card
Black Ph2 Alloys
New Windscreen
Polybushes for front arb and rear beam
New arb droplinks
Coilovers.
New pads and discs (front)
Rear tinted windows
MHW's
Smoked front lights
Clear side repeaters
Aircon regassed
Rs turbo bonnet vents (fiesta)
Uniroyals


this is the start, comments and critisisms welcome as usual. when i get back from chester ill decide where to make a start and fudgekin stick to it

[jakerowles]

never seen a mk5 with rst vents will look good i think . why matt black tho kind of love hate thing i think but i personally dont like it you could just as easily do any other gloss paint in 2pac paint . everything else sounds good , if its gonna be a project car why not strip it and put a bigger engine in

[Rs Adz]

sound cool plans if you need a hand give us a shout

[Michael!]

so i found a runaround, tax and tested long enough for me to get this on the road.

its a mk4 rover metro 111i
needs a new alternator fitting
best part is i got it for the grand price of ZERO,NOTHING £000000000000


ill post some pictures of the badlad when i get it next week and also update this with the fiesta progress, which believe it or not there has been some!

If you leave it standard and bear with it, you might be able to sell it once you don't need it any more.

[Michael!]

it'll last me at least a year dont you worry! i just have bad ideas which happen then they go wrong haha
