I got this last Saturday and haven't had a chance to get any proper pics or even clean it yet! but I thought id get some pics up before fitp so everyone knew who the car belongs to as I wont be in the RS this year.
The only took pics I have are after me a Fiend lowered it 50mm. It needs to go lower on the front so il be cutting a coil off on Saturday morning.
The cars done 50k with a a full service history. I bought it off a old boy who lived near reading. He knew loads about cars and had rebuilt the engine and fitted a new head! so it runs perfect.
Future plans:
Wheels : Alleycats/RS 4 spokes/something with dish.
Suspension: 75mm rear with adjustable panhard rod.
Exhaust: full stainless.
Fully pollybush it.

[fiend]

would bring a tear to the old guys eye if he saw what you have done to his car.

[MK2 Jamie]

I felt bad enough buying it off him and watching him waving as we drove off down the road.

[fiend]

yeah it must feel pretty bad to rip an old man off, I don't know how you sleep at night.

[jayrs]

another mk2 graces the site

[dontpannic]

I love you guys

Good banter there, and a nice MK2 as well

Love the beige

[hb69]

Ground breaking

didnt expect you to actually lower this one

Tis a lovely shade of beige too

[FeistyFiesta]

She looks a stunner, don't see many beige ghias anymore.

[MK2 Jamie]

Picture after me and fiend cut a coil off the front springs. Sits a lot better now.

[jayrs]

[MK2 Jamie]

What would Ken say?

You sound like Aaron now!

[jayrs]

yeah i know, had the plastic caps for the centre too
still, they didnt cost me anything so no lose, but always wiser after the event and all that

[MK2 Jamie]

Looks like the RS1800 is sold so il have some extra cash for the MK2. If I have time on Friday im gunna go up to the fiesta center and get an ashley xr2 system then get powerflow to change it to fit. I have my eye on these wheels 7j rear and 6j front. il do a refurb on them either gold dish with black center or vice versa. what does everyone think?

[Ratspeed]

Them wheels are awesome. Will look good black/gold

[Minstral]

gold centres with polished dish

[MK2 Jamie]

Picked up an xr2 ashley exhaust today, £60 3 months old. im gunna go down powerflow tomorrow to get it fitted as it needs some work to fit.

[MK2 Jamie]

I got alot done this week and now im finally happy with the car. It just needs to go slightly lower on the front and it will be perfect. I picked up a new set of wheels today, RS Accessory 13x6j and I got my ashley fitted yesterday. The exhaust sounds amazing, kind of like a mk2 escort, it pops on overrun also fitted some JBL GTO speakers in the rear quaters with some stuff from halfords that looks like meccano
Exhaust, ratty but a bargain at £60:

Speakers:

Car with the wheels on:

[Chris 2i]

looks ace Jamie, particularly like this pic:


meccano speaker mount

[jayrs]

looking good mate. when ya gunna sort the rear bumper out? you got a coner bits ready for it?
gotta say, dont like the wheels, i had them on my first ever xr2, look ok, but come to cleaning, jesus

yes yes my very first car was white

[Minstral]

as said on facebook looks good, needs to be lower
lower profile tyres as well?
looks like the fronts sit just right so possibily 10mm spacers on the rear?

[hb69]

Strong look. Good to see stuff being done on this one. Get some twin webers on.

Ken would approve

[knuckles]

yes yes my very first car was white

Quote of the day

1800jamie - very nice Mk2. Im growing very fond of these old fiesta's. Starting to like them more than my Rs atm which is a bit worrying. Im not too keen on the chrome around the windows on the ghia models. Does it come off at all ?

Looks very nice lowered

[hb69]

Dont think the chrome does come off. I had the same issue with my mk1, i bought some base spec window seals in the end, but never fitted them. Come to think of it ive still got them, rears only mind

[jayrs]

we all make mistakes clark, i grew out of it fairly quick

chrome is the love hate thing, i dont like it, but unless it was going funny, i would leave it, its part of the ghia

[MK2 Jamie]

Today my K&N arrived in the post. Got it off xrtwo.com for £17 posted Took me and Fiend all of about 2 minutes to fit it sounds brutal though.

Picture of the metallic gold paint:

[jayrs]

never fitted a K&N on a little engine like that mate, mainly cos i never had one really, but my xr2 years ago had a K&N, and it sounded great, could hear it sucking like a sl@g, sounded so good
and for £17 for that mate, bargin for sure!

[MK2 Jamie]

Once Ive got a bit more money il get a set of lower profile tires on then space them out. At the moment they rub slightly over big bumps

Yea you can hear it sucking from from the inside of the car. It drowns out the screaming engine when I rev it hard

[black2]

Really liking the look of that on those new wheels. I like the paint as well plus the shell looks to be im good condition.

Good find.

[hb69]

The painted tape holds it together well

Ken was quite the repair man in his day.

And a video that would make him turn in his grave*..


(before the k&n was fitted)

*Ken is believed to still be alive and well.
