right sooooo!
my fiesta gathering dust until i can afford to update my thread with the new parts ive boughttt


here's my run around, you'll all like it haha (its not even close to being a ford)

can i get some lowwwwwwwwwwws


took them on a blackberry as my camera has decided to reject every single memory card i have

cant see it but i can only just fit an iphone under the bumper, the sumps about 3" off the floor


you wont, soon...

removed the interior (far left) rust isnt bad at all!


its true...



obvious really


rear arches are a little bad though, this is the bad side

fresssssshhhhh


and just a last photo


plans are,
capri 4 spokes.
colour coded bumpers/mirrors
and just a general tidy up.

in the future i think i can see an k series 16v dropped in there, possibly a vvc or something

will be updating my fiesta thread with some special stuff so watch the spaceeeee

[jakerowles]

do ford wheels fit rovers ? i tried some rover ones on my fiesta as a spare and it didnt fit , looks ok tho

[emblem]

Like the stickers, and apart from the rust, dont look too bad. Hey its car. Will get you about.

[rsturbonutter]

i got a 1.8 vvc engine if you feel the need for it 70k miles still in the car y plate 200gti silver half leather 16's nice little car i could sell you the engine and box but to be honest if you where to give 300 you could take the car its mot'd just ran out of tax nothing wrong with the car it goes very well if you give it some foot let me know in the near futurs as its just sitting in my lane

[Michael!]

jake i think the offset is slightly different, but they should go on with no problem, they're 6j so should sit nicely in the arches too.

i have more stickers yet! as ever. this car will see more of my collection





ill pm you about that engine mate

[jakerowles]

the ones i tried on mine were complleteley different the holes for the studs were closer together

[Michael!]

ohhh, we ive seen one of these with the 4 spokes on.. if not then its minilites

Lotus elise engine is a 1.8 k series, only 118bhp i think with vvc, same as the MGF/TF, Rover 25/45 etc

I work at a dealer that used to sell Rovers, good cars Metros, quite basic though. With an engine change (k series, VTEC) etc would be quite potent. Only problem i can see is the availability of parts

[Ratspeed]

I thought it was the 160bhp vvc engine that was in the TF's.
I might be wrong though

Im 99% sure thats what they put in the s1 exige. s1 elise is definately the lower power k series

i fitted the new alternator and bumped it good.

starts first time now, its too low though, went over a bump in the road and it scrapped so fudgekin bad i almost s**t myself.

the exhaust has scrapes all over the downpipe, sump and gearbox got a beating too...



anyone know if the gas is easy to get hold of?

[- Danny Boy -]

I think them stickers are awesome lol

[hb69]

Any garage should have a compressed gas airline mate, pump it up with that

[jakerowles]

pretty sure you can just use an airline i did the shock on my crosser years ago , maybe could use a foot pump ? not sure tho probarbly different

Its a Green mineral oil (abit like LHM) that is used to pump up the suspension, have done these before, not many places have the tool to do it any more, but somewhere in our garage we still have one

[Michael!]

your garage happen to be in the north west?

[Michael!]

I think them stickers are awesome lol

which ones ? the dent ones?

[Michael!]

next to my mates twingo and the metro...

which is now called martin i imagine a man who wears tweed jackets called martin to drive one, so that'll do.


shopping for a set of 6j alloys now, something with a bit of stretch that will give it a good stance

[rsturbonutter]

Like I said I got 200 in my garden with a BBC n 16a on it with brand new tyres

[jonyb4]

lol like the simplcity of this, you should be fine with this theres not much to go wrong on these

we used to take apart one in college for our assignments event he timing belt was peasy to do that was a 1.4 though


love them dent stickers! straight to the point lol, no messing around



im pretty sure ford 108pcd wheels wont fit, rover use the same wheels as some VW, and vauxhalls etc, 100 pcd i believe

my mate had some VW wheels on his rover 25
