Hi this will be a slow process of me transforming my fiesta from road car to hillclimb car.

First of I bought the fiesta for £1,700, it's a 1.9 zvh with hybrid turbo



I thought I was buying a "mint" car but how foolish was I, it is a ford after all.
The strip down begins.



Test fit of roll cage





And now some pictures of what fords are famous for









All templates made ready for a weekend of cutting and welding



And how the car sits now



I'm hoping to have the car ready for a few test runs towards the end of the season, comments welcome as inspiration is needed.

passion s**t as I refer to it.

The rust isn't too bad from what's been seen/shown so far, usual spots really.

Should be a good little project to keep an eye on. Keep up the work

edit: spelling error.

what passion ford?

[Misterk]

Ha I'm glad you guys feel the same about passion"cossie or BMW's only"

Only a very small update and a request for ideas.

Decided to test fit the slicks





As you can see I need wider arches but don't want a silly huge bodykit, can anyone point me in the direction of suitable arches??



Here is I video of where I will be racing

[sam-si]

don't know if fibreglass bolt/ rivit on arches would be wide enough? and what do your alloys look like? really like your rear brake lights! you tint them?

[Misterk]

Hey, yea I was thinking of trimming some zakspeed arches designed for a mk2 escort, what do you think?



The Wheels are minilites, the only picture I have is from when they were on my mates car.. They have since been painted silver



The rear lights are just clear rear clusters that have been masked up and had a light coat of red tint spray mate
