Chris O Car History

1 - Escort MK5b 1.4 LX

 

First up was much of a project, a very ropey 1.4 that I lowered far too much, fitted RS2000 front bumper, side skirts and interior. The engine never ran very well and leaked oil like no tomorrow, but still was a very fun car.

 

I didn't take many pictures of this car but I found a couple. First picture was a work in progress picture just after I fitted the RS2000 sideskirts just before painting (sorry about the crap pictures but camera phones were crap back then!)

Soon after someone drove into the front of me and sent it to the scrap yard in the sky

2 - Fiesta MK4 1.25

 

Next up was a proper digital camera and a bit more of a sensible car as I was doing a few miles and needed something a bit reliable. I colour coded the mirrors, fitted a Ghia grille, alloys, K&N filter and fog lights. Superb car, very tidy and extremely reliable despite clocking well over 100k.

3 - Fiesta MK5 1.25 Freestyle

 

Didn't keep this car very long, shame really because it was really clean with only 26k on the clocks, but it was just a bit boring. In the short time I had it I lowered it, fitted Sport Ka 16's, pipercross filter and detango'd the headlights.

4 - Fiesta MK5 1.6 Zetec-S

 

This was a very fun car with a bit more go, handled like little go-kart. Modification wise I had FRK Sparco Seats, Mondeo V6 brakes, lowered, detango'd headlights, pipercross filter, lower profile tires, Milltek 4-2-1 manifold and system with sport cat and a load of other bits and pieces.

Now up to date, I think the project thread covers this one nicely so if you read - Clicky
