scottybo Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 (edited) ok so shes a bit rough around the edges and need tidying up but the shell is solid. shes a 1987 mk2 fiesta festival with 1.1l of raw fury! 82k on the clock and a full years mot to the day that i bought it! http://i1085.photobucket.com/albums/j432/scottybo1/2013-10-30070711_zps1c3a0f72.jpghttp://i1085.photobucket.com/albums/j432/scottybo1/2013-10-30070719_zpsfa5ca3c8.jpghttp://i1085.photobucket.com/albums/j432/scottybo1/2013-10-30070702_zpse745b353.jpg plans are to tidy it up, and strip it out to make a track toy, it will be kept road legal though Edited November 4, 2013 by scottybo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottybo Posted November 4, 2013 Author Share Posted November 4, 2013 Looks like a nice wee project. 2.0 Zetec or RST? nothing that exciting im afraid, i really want to zetec it because a 1.8 can be had for as little as £50, wanted to run it on carbs but apparently (according to xrtwo.com) u need aftermarket management, and the cost of a megajolt is more than i paid for the car! i want it to be cheap cheap cheap so i might just throw something like a 1.6 cvh engine in there, or if i can find a 1.9 cvh from a sierra for cheap! literally nothing super fancy im afraid, mega cheap fun is the plan lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottybo Posted November 6, 2013 Author Share Posted November 6, 2013 another small update painted the brakes, just trying to make the car look a bit tidyer, the body work will be addressed when i get the weather to do so, need to crack on with the escort though really lol scabby drumshttp://i1085.photobucket.com/albums/j432/scottybo1/2013-11-01121920_zpsef8454b2.jpg sexy drumshttp://i1085.photobucket.com/albums/j432/scottybo1/2013-11-01122347_zpsabcdb796.jpg scabby callipershttp://i1085.photobucket.com/albums/j432/scottybo1/2013-11-01131925_zps7c545ad8.jpg sexy callipershttp://i1085.photobucket.com/albums/j432/scottybo1/2013-11-01132453_zps26d920d6.jpg and yes i know its missing a spring clip, got one on the way in the post, and do im not driving it without one. i do plan on uprating the brakes at some point as it will be hitting the track. probs just go for xr2 stuff with better discs and pads. i really want to keep it on 13 inch wheels so it makes brake options a bit difficult lol i also dismantled the front callipers n gave them a fcukin good clean and a regrease as they were seized up....to the point where when i drove it down my road (before i was aware i was missing spring clips), the rear wheels locked up and nothing happened at the front end.......scary stuff! all fine now though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
