White Fiesta RS Turbo - MOT Passed
White Fiesta RS Turbo - MOT Passed
Yep i have another FRST my 5th one now lol and i can say this is by far the best
Been looking for a mint one for a while when i saw this come up i thought i would have to have a look at it. Bit of history its been owned since new by an old woman so 1 owner from new and i must say you can tell!
Machnically its sounds what ever its needed its had starts on the button, steering, clutch, brakes everything all works brill. No knocks or ratlles.
Interior is FANTASTIC!!!! and i really mean that the steering wheel is like its never been touched it has the original gearknob some wear on this but still good, The seats are again like new. Carpets all very clean so tears rips or anything also orginal stereo.
The body work this is where it needs some TLC there is very little rust on the car few tiny little scabs here and there nothing major but the petrol cap has been done in the past and it was done to a very poor standard its been filled and painted in what i would say is beige lol
Plans are as follows:
Paint work will be done within the next week or two going to bodyshop next week.
Refurb the alloys
Clean engine bay as this needs a very good clean
Service engine
cambelt change
exhaust as it has some mild steel system on it none ford.
Comments welcome

Re: White Fiesta RS Turbo
Amazing where these pop up from really isn't it. in the best colour of course
Looks an excellant base, I personally would have a new quarter panel put in Tim, only real way to rid the cap area of rot.
Engine bay needs a good buff doesn't it
I'm sure you'll bring it up nicely.
So what plans have you got, keep standard or modify ?, I have some red original leads if your interested

Re: White Fiesta RS Turbo
Just checked the engine bay picture, those leads are soooo dirty
I'd go for a non genuine quarter panel, I had one on my Red FRST and it fitted fine, Hadrian one iirc,
once fitted and painted nobody will know.

Re: White Fiesta RS Turbo
nice example you got there mate, its a shame about the bad repair on the rear quarter, you can even see where the filler roughly is as the swage line is gone

Re: White Fiesta RS Turbo
Glad to see you got another one Tim. Thats a real lucky find. How much did you pay??
Hoping to get one of these soon just got to get rid of the focus.
Have you decat'd your mondy mate?? Just i'm halfway through building on up for mineand need to know how long it is and what angle the bottom flange comes off at. Any pics/measurements would be helpfull if at all possible.
I'l also have to pop and see this next time i'm down in lincoln.

Re: White Fiesta RS Turbo
What a fantastic find, one owner from new i would assume it's never really been thrashed around either!
Looks spot on, engine bay can be cleaned up etc........... so rare to see one in this condition these days as in totally standard

Re: White Fiesta RS Turbo
Ollie - your more than welcome to come round have a look and a cuppa! I have fitted the decat now mate also fitted the big intercooler to it and i can say its F**king brill lol pulls like a train now keeps up with most things and still get 46mpg
Jony - not 100% sure what its getting done at bodyshop yet but i would expect depending on costs of new panel it will get a full respray kit and bumpers off and all resprayed in Diamond White! not biege lol. I also agree its very hard to find one thats not over 100k this one has only just ticked over 100k and the way it drives you would think its done about 20k lol was driving it sunday and just over the moon with it that old lady sure did look after it
RST-Steve - i think i could safely say its not been thrashed i cant believe how well it drives everything works great and pulls very well for a standard car.

Re: White Fiesta RS Turbo - At Bodyshop
Its down at the bodyshop booked in for next week to get the following done:
Bumpers, arches, skirts, stripes, bonnet, boot and windows off
Petrol cap area took back and sorted out waiting to see what its like behind the filler to see if it needs a panel or not
all rust and dents tooks out
then full respray in diamond white
alloys refurb aswell
I had considered going frozen white but for originality its staying Diamond white. Work starts on monday so i will be popping down each dinner and take a few piccys and watch progress.

Re: White Fiesta RS Turbo - At Bodyshop
thats great news mate, its going to be transformed by the end, you should not go see it and by the end it will be like "move that bus" and gasp
do you know how much the bodyshop charges for a full body machine polish or what they do to bring it back to life but not respraying it?
i feel my car needs it, the paints a bit tired but its got the potential to come back i think

Ollie, I don't think there'll be a problem with lack of updates
I think it's safe to say he's found a good one at last
We'll finally have something decent to put on the stand at shows!
