Lovely to see another one getting some TLC and saved.

EDIT: will continue when can’t figure out how to post pictures from my phone.

Thought I’d give this a update. Fairly overdue! The car is fast approaching 68k now and is proving the be ever reliable. I serviced it last December. The usual Oil & Filter, ‘box Oil, Air Filter. Along with that i treated it to some new interior mats and new wiper blades...

Same, every car I’ve owned i’ve had issues with! hateful things.

Awful.

Standard. Nothing wrong with that at all. Mine would be standard if i had one.

That Cup was a little rocket! Did you do 0-100 when the ST had the MR230 ? The M140i is in a totally different league!

Fantastic work. Really good to start seeing these Cups being saved.

Looks a good one does that! Can’t remember the last time i saw one! Always had a soft spot for the Mk2 Punto, the 1.8 HGT version.

With the RS’s good tyres and a geometry check and makes it loads better apparently. My all time favourite hot-hatch.

First was a Fiesta Mk5 Zetec-S & my current hot-hatch is my Corsa VXR Nurburgring. Had a fair few in between. Looking back the Zetec-S had probably the ‘box i’ve ever used!

Don’t see many around! especially in good nick, i think they’re about 110bhp? so pretty nippy.

Great stuff. I always find that a good, clean interior can really take the age of a car. Totally forgot the 2-piece rear floor mats, my 172 that i had still had them, thought it was a neat touch.

Yuck.

Great write up. Can’t be many Sunflowers left now! looking forward to seeing it progress.
