Sierra (engine only) a fiesta 4x4 or if a 3dr escort comes up that isn't a rotter (aye right) then one of them. For now ill keep to my dc2 integra!

scottybo Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 yes fiesta 4x4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLEEMAN Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 well I know the rs2000 rear disc beam standard fixed one fits fiestas so possibly the the chances of a 4x4 is possible! but maybe some modifications require to the front subframe maybe required won't it??

ScORTED Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 the mk3 fiesta has been 4wd'd with this running gear before its do able with some fab work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLEEMAN Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 but again finding a decent mk3 fiesta with minimal or no rot is mission impossible unless its a shell that's been cared for etc. what about a 5 door escort 4x4??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scort_CVH Posted December 29, 2013 Author Share Posted December 29, 2013 I think fiesta would be a good project but like Slee said mk3 fiesta could be just as crusty. This cost me under £200 so I'm not going to loose on it. There is a RS1800 shell for sale near for £150 so we shall see. Plenty time tho I'd like to get everything cleaned up and painted so that'll keep me busy if anyone stumbles across a fiesta rs2000 4x4 thread link me up!

CheeRS There are plenty of decent mk3 fiestas out there. U guys arent looking very hard......and avoid the rs1800. Good ar but the bodykit traps water. It will be rusty as Fcuk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
