I f**king love these, only even driven a standard spec though. A few years ago these became the new Nova in my town and it put me off them a bit but that phase has been and gone and i still love them!

Nice buy mate, looks mint! Are you going to say how much you paid?

My brother had one of these years back running twin weber 40's & a pretty wild cam, was pretty quick. One of the best mods was fitting fiesta rs turbo seats in it.

Yours looks like a lovely example.

would've certainlly have had few of my plans done by now thats fo' sho' if it wasnt for the hectic day today... and again tmoz gotta remove the engine out the ZS, sperate gearbox etc etc..


Cheers for all the replies everyone glad you all like :D


Ordered a OMP sterring wheel boss today to fit one of my wheels whchever suites it best, then the onei dont want is sold...

Also ordered an Ashley exhaust system to hopefully join up with the Janspeed manifold and give it some more noise and free abit more power as no doubt the standard system is restricting it!

cant wait for the to arrive :D

Iv had many Ashleys, usually need a few 'mods' (Read hammer) to get them to fit, but great exhausts :)

Was driving along to the meet earlier and my throttle cables snapped where it joins the carbs... Fkin gutted!... lucking it was only 5 mins form my house so seems as f0xys insured to drive my 1.25 for the weekend as he drove it home from cambridge on saturday we just came home and got my 1.25 and the tow bar... now its back on the drive and now need a new throttle cable!

Think im gonna need a custom one to join the carbs tho

Looks excellent mate.
Quite jealous, always had a soft spot for classic fiestas!
Sorry to hear about the throttle cable though.
 
  JDM Dc2
4 with A048Rs
4 with A539s
4 i bought on ebay to take spare tyres (currently in someone's garage in Crewe)
and two more from a mate that were too cheap to turn down!

please i want 3 more so i can get some a048s :(

Epic car is epic. Facking love fords <3

cheers mate, me too lol :D


Nipped to the local Motorbike shop on my way home and got a gfew little fittings to try... one worked and now its fine altho i think the throttle cable is the original so might invest in a knew one as it sticks some times...

had to take the carbs off to get a the linkage properly...

to reveal this trapped in where the cable came out on a nasty 90degree bend straight form it if you get me -

  Whichever has fuel
how can loosing weight from the un-nessaseries (however you spell it lol) ruin it when its gonna be built for track lol?

Thats like buying a S1 ERST and fitting TSW Venoms!

That car should stay standard looking, both inside and out. Its a classic! (Granted, engine mods are ok!)

Just my opinion though!
 
  JDM Dc2
ive bought it in the sight to do it into a track car... light as possible, standard exterior.. if it was my daily the interior would all still be in but id done away with 15-20kgs by just what ive done so far... more to come lol!
