Good luck. Rust is the single most annoying thing to fix on a car.

The whole car needs a seriously redone, but the restoration plan sounds good, and well made can give you awesome results!

As I said in Facebook, I have the 1.0 engine of this one in the garage of the institute (where we do practices) so yeah, would be cool if you tell me about your engine. OHV one too?

Posted by: DMC-12 May 4 2013, 11:49 PM

Yeah it's a 1300 Kent Crossflow OHV.

And by breaking the car I mean taking all the bits off it that are worth money and then taking an angle grinder to the shell Completely not cost effective to attempt any restoration. I'd rather get money and put it towards one I'll actually be able to drive.

Congrats on your car man don't get tetanus

The best thing you can do is take parts from the junkyard, I'm sure there are thousands of Fiestas you can approach its parts, also I'm not in the trims theme, but you could do something like a XR2 or something. Like upgrading the car.

Also I would recommend you to improve that engine, because with the OHV dsitribution, was so bad to fill cylinders at high revolutions, which results in a lose of power.

If you can, find someone that can paint it and fix it for an affordable price, if you were here I would lead you to talk to my friend Dani, he offered to paint and fix my 406 for 800 euros.

get welder, sheet metal, poles, sorted.

Whats the plan with it...?

Posted by: DMC-12 May 8 2013, 09:26 AM

Angle grinder.

Sell all the ghia bits which are worth quite a bit, and then buy one that's roadworthy.

Posted by: JoviBlue May 8 2013, 09:53 AM

Ill give you 3 quid for the shell


no but seriously i'd buy it off you if i had monies, whats the plan with all the non ghia bitties

Posted by: DMC-12 May 8 2013, 10:05 AM

Shell is to be chopped up, and pretty much everything sold. Hopefully for a profit. Only cost £250 in the first place

Posted by: Vicent M. May 8 2013, 12:55 PM

Finally you decided to come to Spain? As you seen, you can buy a whole Fiesta for 250 euros HEHE

Posted by: Victor. May 9 2013, 12:03 AM

Dude, get a Focus Wagon and put a V8 engine

Posted by: DMC-12 May 17 2013, 01:16 AM

And she's dead. Well not dead, savable to the right person, not mine anymore though.

I'm after a Sierra!


btw that picture was taken after rolling that shell for a mile through the village to my friends house
