78 fiesta

Here it was when I bought it September 2011..










and here it is now

Wow what a transformation. Have you done all the work yourself??

That's beautiful mate,you've done a great job there shame to loose the flames though 

Thanks

I was 15 when I got the car and learnt everything I know about cars threw doing this fiesta

They don't make em like they used to as the old saying goes

Nice one, like the make-over  

Simple clean look.
I personally not a ford fan, but for you to transform it from that chav'd mess to what it is now being OHSOFRESH lol
Well done on a cracking job.
Best wishes      

Nice ride! I am a fan of these old fords! 

Thanks guys

The bigger wheel will be going back on it once they've been refurbed     

I would like a mk1 golf project as some point but the ford came up and was cheap

A great transformation, really good to see a car saved like that!

Cheers  

Finally got a coilover on…

The other coilover has the top nut missing which is turning out to be a impossible thread to find..

Anyway here's some pics. (May contain dodgy arches)





The coilovers are only half wound up so I could lose another 3 inchs if I wanted but ill probably keep it this height or higher…

Nice pics mate. I think she looks fine as she is height wise.    

Nice fiesta mate! me and my mate are looking for one at the minute, we've got a 1.6i 16v motor from a puma to go in!! should be fun.

I bet that will shift along nicely……

Should do, the puma is quite quick as it is.

Puma engines require quite alot of work to fit, 1800/2000 mondeo/escort lumps drop pretty much straight in

That's the route I may go in the near future  

RS2000 engine?? What about an RST engine?

As hard as it may be to believe the easiest conversions are zetecs, all the mounts are in the right place, just need to change shafts, box ect if you don't own a 1300/xr2. You can set the, up on bike carbs and there ready to go..

With cvh you have go cut and weld a mount in, change the rad cut the front panel to get a frst rad top fit.. Just alot easier and better power to use zetec  

So a focus RS MK1 engine will fit then      

Yeah, I think people have used that engine before.
