very nice n clean fezza

[fiestasiphil]

cheers yeah well its marrlard green, shade L7 lots of plp like the bonnet as sum plp aren't too sure but i went for it becasue it works well with all the mods that have been done to it

[Sphinx]

Very nice looking
Looks like a top job on the repair too!

[fiestamodder123]

think it would look better with the standard wheels on but on the whole it looks really good , well done for repairing your car mate most people would have given up

[fiestasiphil]

thanks , yeah i couldn't let my pride and joy be writen through insurance i like it so much had to be repaired what ever the cost, i did put on the old Si alloys on it, as it is was lower but they look to old for the car mayb a set of mondeo alloys may well b on the cards later but my main focus this year is to upgrade the handling by going for a set of coilovers i'm not sure what make yet, i also want polybushes all round and deflex adjustable wishbone arms to cope with the camber change and of course a bit more chrome here and there and tidy up a few bits of light hinden rust, but nxt week i'm getting a set of EBC discs and pads for the front and greenstuff pads, and if i have enough money a rear disc conversion and a full powerflow exhaust system but that will b towards the end of the year, ready for the 2.0 conversion i have planned

[fiestasiphil]

my fiesta made the trip from braintree essex to newquay and back with no problems! i got a few pics where we stopped on the way at stonehenge with my mates seat leon cupra r turbo and plus another pic of my car and my m8s very loud escort 1.4 rs2000 lookalike.
since fitp apart from a new engine it has ebc turbo grooved and dimpled discs and greenstuff pads which have made an improvement to braking and keeping the front wheels cleaner from brake dust,i will get a pic of them soon they look really good! and now my fiesta has no M.O.T as it failed on a number of things but should b back on the road soon

[fiestasiphil]

They both look pretty moody to me and give the right impression if thats what your after

cheers yeah i'd say it looks mean rather than moody

cars now got a full years M.O.T now after failing on the following:

nearsdie cv gaitor split
handbrake no reserve travel
uneven rear brakes
nearside ball joint excessive play
offside rear wheel bearing
and both front wheels rubbing on full lock

now the car feels a whole lot better to drive, now its safe!

cheers ne1 know if a cossie splitter will fit with out [ERRR] rubbing as its lowered 60mm?

[adz]

it should do, it will just be a proper biatch to fit, you might even need to fit it with the front of the car jacked up

i did it on mine, it was, erm,,, fun?

[fiestasiphil]

cheers mate i will prob leave it for a while as i'm saving up for those zoo motorsport wishbones arms adjustable for camber and castor ive gone through 16 wishbones in a year and half now, and too many tyres, the joys of being lowered!

[onslack]

looking good phil

i notice my car has snuck into the pictures from fiesta in the park

[fiestasiphil]

yes mate, well most of the cars on the front row have even been sold or broken up, like gmc's, just mine yours and mouses r still around with the same owners 2day!

[fiestasiphil]

howdy! rite i have a big planned project for the si starting july 31st (when the tax runs out) and during the time its off the road which will be a while......... probably about 2 years, it will under go a full restoration and a 2.1 zetec turbo engine will be going in, and bare shell respray in a different colour (and some cool mods to bodywork), coilovers and lot, lots more

The 1.6 engine in my car now, will be going in my mates kit car which i will get sum pics of soon and it will b going in during the rebuild of the si

so...... in the time the si's of the road, i will of course need another car to cruise about in and its gotta/ will, be cool, so i bought a 1987 ford fiesta mk2 1.1 which got last nite for £50 with 4 months MOT with only 66k miles on the clock bargin!! runs and drives

Here's some pics of it





has only a few bits of rust but its overall very solid



the beasty 1.1 ohv engine



even came with a xr2 steering wheel



a few rust bubbles on nearsdie rear arch



and even has sum front spot lights!






the car won't be on the road until september as my insurance will drop a lot once i get my years no claims on the si

so in the mean time while i'm still driving si, i want to sort the litte mk2 out so its looks better than a old grannies car!

with a set of pepper pot alloys, xr2 side skirts, arches, front and rear bumpers, rear spoiler and dash, with sum new style ford badges and clear front and side indiacators lower it 30 mm or so and fit a cherry bomb exhaust , oh and with full engine degrease and polish it will be looking a lot better!

so this should make it look and sound cool enough to drive around in during long 2 year project on the si

what u think?

sorry about picture quality they were taken in the dark with a camera phone i will get some new pics nxt week, of it cleaned and in daylight

[XRMike]

Wow!! The mk2 is going to be a smart car then! Ive always liked mk2's

[adz]

awesome loving the mk2 dude, tis a proper bargain! i miss mine

if u want a mk2 for parts im givin my xr2 up for £200 ono


its got 30mm spax kit (shocks n springs)
colour coded arches n bumpers, although the bumpers arnt useable
colour coded spoilet
colour coded mirrors n handles
clear side reps and indicators
dashboard and black xr2 steering wheel
remote central locking
clifford alarm with 2key fobs, orig reciept and certificate for alarm was £450
cvh engine with chrome goodies and a omp strut brace
(engine is tuned to around 100-110bhp by jamsport)
it has pepper pots in matt black (also 2silver ones) but need new tyres.



might not be what your after but worth letting you know as it saves sourcing all the parts seperatly.

never noticed this reply

yeah that is true and a shame


the mk2 looks lovely

[jayrs]

give me the mk2, i want a mk2 to do up
better get my rs done first though

[fiestasiphil]

yesterday i did a big wheels off clean to get as much dirt and grit off it as i could over the 20 years its been on the road


i started off with the interior

i was amazed to realise that the guy i bought it off smoked and therefore was ash all over the carpet so i had a look in the ash tray expecting a load of ash in there but........ no its was clean just that all the ash was all over the carpet, could have at least kept it tidy....ish simple use a ashtray

[url]

i found sum old carpet mats in my garage from my si, so i put them



cleaned the boot as well



its begging for some xr2 pepper pot alloys!







a couple ramdom pics of my si a bit dirty





i got as much dirt off the underneath of the archs as i could






i gave the engine a degrease, clean and a little service







i didn't get the time to polish it but i will do soon




nice and clean now in my nans garage until i get the pepper pots!

[XRMike]

Wow, you've really been busy there!!! Looks smart to tell the truth, its not very often you see a mk2 in general anymore.
Its defo dying for a polish , and some pepper pots will certinaly give it a better stance

[jayrs]

deffo needs some pepper pots.
and a new drivers side head light, that one looks focked

[fiestasiphil]

and a new drivers side head light, that one looks focked

oh rite i never noticed that thanks mate, its not a prob tho my mate has a xr2 he's breaking due to bad rot, so i will get one off his

[jayrs]

i only just saw it, looks like the chrome has come off from inside.

has he got his spares on xrtwo.com? if not tell him to get them on there, should shift some bits of there all good.

[Jonezy]

Cant agree with them about the bonnet tbh, them vents dont suit anything apart from a scooby. The rest looks pretty smart though

you have to addmitt tho its a clean scoop compared to some of the usual crap ones you get

[fiestasiphil]

thanks mate altho its going to be coming off during the rebuild and being replaced with a rs turbo bonnet which i want to have badboy'd and be smoothed

[fiestasiphil]

ive been working on the old mk2 getting it ready for when the si comes off the road in july

yesterday me and my mate went over to get sum xr2 parts off it
we got the dash, xr2 rear spolier, suspension, 5 pepper pot alloys, engine bay sound proofing, vented discs and xr2 calipers ,we still gotta get the bodykit off it and rear seats and some more brake stuff like the servo etc

jam (the owner of the xr2) tried his awesome cossie rims on the xr2 just to see what it would look like



2day i slowly managed to get some of the xr2 stuff on the m2 1.1

changed front suspension struts over and fitted xr2 rear spolier
got 3 of the wheels on and didn't get enough time to get the last rear damper in place before it got dark, so that will be done 2morow

heres some pics of it

[Ghost]

he tried them on his xr2, but not my car! git!

ah so you are the young man buying his bits and pieces, looks like a nice little run around!

[fiestasiphil]

adam isn't it? yeh he wanted to try them on and they looked so cool on the xr until we broke it up for my runaround as its solid as his poor old xr2 has got more holes in it than a aero bar me and my mate have still gotta get the bodykit off it and the brake servo etc, jam told me about your van

[Ghost]

yea thats me, the cossie rims is my idea on a mk1 with stretched arches....as well as the future for my van (think ive got a problem with them wheels )

well ive got one more thing to try with the van before I go and buy another car, fingers crossed for tomorrow

Bless him, he tried his hardest for me Top bloke though!

Kit should be worth while on your motor, sorta what i want for a run around...cheap, but still decent looking
