this car was quite mint also only has 1 spot off welding in its life. i then putt the car up for sale after 7 months off having it as i went through 4 gear boxes init and i could afford to keep fixing it. it was quite quick this little thing had a few clio 172/182 off and 2 off my mates Erst. was good fun it this and i miss it. wouldnt mind having it back rele.

 

now i have a escort gti that i have had since may 2009. after a week off having it the head gasket went on me on the motor way, was gutted, i fixed it the weekend after and it was sweet as a nut agen. i havent drove it now in about a month and half as there is a strange nosie coming from the engine, at first i thought it was the cams, but then it started getting louder, few people said it was knockin, some said it was just the cams getting worn. never found out rele what it is.

so iv got rs1800 engine(130bhp) 70,000 mile onit, set off kent cams, st170 4 branch manifold, custom decat pipe made, superchip. i bought each bit at a time and now i have got everything my job for this weekend is to put it all in.

 

i only have pictures off when i got the car.

love your fiestas mate they were very nice, tasty escort too
2nd fiesta looked great, not seen the dash conversion before, very good. :)
You've had some very cars there mate, all smart looking. The red Fiesta looks really well I must say, I like that a lot. I like the Escort to, the ST200 wheels suited it quite well!
all looking good so far :thumb:
Love your GTi! More pictures please. :D
