Show-winning FRST needs new home
Ladies and gentlemen, fans of the 'subtle' Euro-look, I ask you for help....I need to find a good home for my old skool project Fiesta....
It's currently in storage, but I need to sell it on!
It needs a little tlc, having been sat there for so long but, even if you buy it just for the parts (see http://www.jamesw.plus.com/fiestas/ for the Spec) you'll get a bargain! The choice is yours! The pictures show the car as it used to be - as I say, it needs a little tlc to bring it back to it's former glory, but it'd make a superb project car for someone, and a fresh alternative to the current vogue of Jap styled objects vagely resembling cars Before going into storage the car had new front/rear panels seam-welded in place (the original ones were a little tatty), and the roof drip rails redone in lead, plus a few other parts leaded (around the rear lights, door handles, etc.) all replacing the original filler. I also sold the Cossie front bumper, to make way for a new bumper (which alas I never had time to buy). Consequently, the car really needs a respray. There's a fantastic leather/alcantara Mk4 interior, chrome roll cage, 1600 hybrid T2 200bhp chromed engine with Ahmed chip, one-off Pace chargecooler, strengthed IB5 box/AP clutch and Magnex exhaust, Cossie brakes, coilover Koni suspension, Puma rear beam, and body mods galore (Audi door handles, shaved roof drip rails, Mk4 sunk-in side indicators, Mk4 boot, Mk4 windscreen, 'subtly' modded/totally smoothed bonnet)! Surely a huge head-start for someone wanting a project car?
Shall I start the bidding - best offer over £3k...
James
P.M. me if you're serious (no timewasters or dreamers please!!)

>> Any chance of some pics of it in its current state?

Coming soon! It's stored over an hour from me, so I'll need to get over there at some point soon. But I will get some...I know it'll help!
>> is it driveable?
>>
Yes! But it's currently on SORN, so no tax or MOT (although it'll pass no problems)
>> where abouts are you from?

Current state pics to be taken soon (next few weeks) - I just need to get over to the garage who's storing it for me.
illusion-m : I don't see your point, sorry! £4k and you'll have a show-winning, spanking gorgeous FRST. Some people spend that on a respray and wheels alone!!!
ooral : the car was in storage for 18 months, and with a little coaxing, started first time and ran like a gem!
