Pretty exciting. I like it a lot. Are you tempted to 1.5 the lightweight one?

Do you still want my BGW? I totally forgot about that after disappearing off faceache.

Well i am gonna call it on the black one..
first chance today to have an attack on the black one in daylight too see how bad the rust was.. its bad..
So the engine will be coming out to be race built!
and then the rest for breaking..

To give you an idea..
plus both sills, both arches, both front wings, all the floor pans, Frunk is gone completely, where all suspension mounts..
fair enough everything is salvagable.. but you need to have some good metal to salvage from :)

I needed a car to race this year whilst i build the mk1 )its cage arrived the other day)

so i bought back a car i used to own 9 years ago.. from teh guy we sold it too

had no mot.. but i paid a whopping £150 for it..

got some welding done.. then it went straight through its mot..
should e good fun for sprinting this year cheaply so can use money to sort the mk1..

well pictures as promised..
this is the day it arrived on teh drive for the 2nd time.. we owned the car 9 years ago

Image
Image
Image

here it is after the welding mot and the shoes, and pink stickers removed
Image
Image
Image

and this morning.. gonna drive it as much as possible
Image



also whilst using it to hack around i can spend some much needed time on the focus st..

watch this space as i am sure at some point this year it will end up witha puma engine as wife wants to keep it when im done with it

My first couple of cars were fiestas. Loved them. Had a mk1 1.1 ghia,then a mk1 xr2,mk2 xr2 and a mk3 xr2i.
If i ever got rid of my turbo i think id get a cheap fiesta and stick a 2.0 zetec in it.
