You've been busy, love what you've done and refreshing to see none of the usual chavy rubbish that usual blights the humble Fiesta.
Subtle is the key to a good Fiesta imho and you have done that to a T
You going to be at Bedford for the RSOC day on the 25th?

Well here is a pic

**UPDATE** 12-3-2006
Right well last few weeks i have been very ill and not been able to work on the car!
But finally i managed to get a few bits and pieces sent to people and i have also managed to strip the bottom end!
The head has gone of to Frankenstein Motorsport for a stage 3 Port and polish Bigger valves, kent cam, and few other special bits
The bottom end was a bit of a shock to strip and to learn all about each part and how it all works and also how it is so important to have reqular oil and service changes!
The sump
in here i found tiny bits of metal
Parts of the bottom end
The crank and bearings
also whilst doing the engine i changed over the dials too!
Well hopefully more pics and update soon!
thanks for reading
