My fiesta

Haven't yet decided, part of me says yes to save money and get experience, the other part of me says leave it to someone who knows what they are doing.

Well I have just bought a cambelt kit and fanbelt for my little pride and joy for £86 all in which I think is a pretty good price, whilst I was there I saw a nice ripspeed steering wheel going cheap and I was really tempted, even though its not really scene or anything like that, Ilve always had a bit of a soft spot for them, so tempted. What about your opinions?

Steering wheel plan out of the window, quote mum "we haven't got time to shop around for rubbish, I've got stuff to do", knnow I should get rid of her.

Lmao!

To be honest bud your best bet it to look for second hand geat off ebay etc, as its just as good as new, but cheaper!

You could look at fitting an RS wheel or say an SI wheel. Alot chunkier so will look better than the standard one, and should be a simple fit.

This was 2nd hand and going cheap, thats why I wanted it. I donlt have an ebay account (donlt get the whole paypal stuff) supose it will be a while before anything good happens on my car

Having a new cambelt and fanbelt later today (in an hour) Big job I rekon.

Especialy if you get it wrong, lol!

Here comes another dissapointment, wen't into the workshop this afternoon, and Jeff (tutor)says "just looked on the compuer and the rekon its a 3 and a half hour job for a ford gararge to do it, we'll never manage it today" so I got to go home early, and on the bright side, I get to do it tomorrow, missing maths lessons and cad lessons, bonus!

Are you changing pulleys etc? On my fiesta I had a huge problem with clearances which made it a nightmare job.

on my mk4 took bout 2 hours to do cambelt but fan belt bit harder cus fords have a way of rusting and making it hard to relocate things lol that was diesel endura

Back to the exhaust - i took my car to welsh coast customs in newport, and they made and fitted my 'zorst (cat back, 31/2in) for £280!

It has a new cambelt and fanbelt!! Took fukin ages to do though , don't fancy that again.

Update time, no pics just yet but it now has a K&N induction kit!! My 1st proper mod! All I need now is to get pics up.

Time for an update methinks.


Heres me K&N


And my pioneer headunit which was fitted to the car when I bought it








And now....









Time to get the bumper sorted








So off come the lights





And after a bit of wet and dry, on goes the primer (incase you haben't guessed by now, dad is the master who does the bodywork, and a lot of other stuff)




And on goes the black!





Back in black!!!!!!!! Job done, next on the two do list:

1. Fit new struts on the fron for the MOT
2. Weld the exhaust (just to get it through the MOT.
3. More mods!

lookin tidy bud, well done to your dad too! weld the exhaust? you got a cat back made didnt you?

No, affraid not, it was theplan but something came up (wish I could remember what), I have to thank my dad for doing the job, its not really finnished though, he wants to put another coat on it and then a good dose of laquer, and I may just tint the headlight insides at the same time.

with adams special tinting technique?
looks a decent spray job that.. u use a gun? or cans?

Cans, was gona just strip the headlight and tint the inside.

ask adam about his special headlight tints...

I have seen an exaple or two of his work, might have a word with him next time I'm there.

that lwks good man sure i saw it a while ago in lampy with the yellow bumper think i was in the mk4

Thought I'd give it a bit of a detail




















My clay bar after doing half the bootlid



After claying



Peek-a-boo!!






Sunlight shining of my polished body






A couple of reflection shots



My favourite pic (its the bonnet, note the microfibre cloth in my hand still)













You have to ignore the sills I'm affraid cause they've been sprayed with some underseal stuff from when I had the sills welded, I also put some trim blacker on the rubbing strips on the side after.



This is the gear I use, its a gtowing collection.

shiny shiny!
srsly needs lows tho
4x4 stance ftl

I'm broke! The car goes for an mot next week and its going to cost a bomb! Looking all over the place for a job but nobodies interseted (people in shops and the like prefer to employ women) so I can't do nothing yet. It sucks cause I'm trying my hardest to sort myself and the car out but no matter what I try its like I hit a brick wall and get nothing done.

I have a budget mod suggestion , and I think you know what it is already. Starts with sticker and ends with bombing
There must be loads of parts for these knocking about, must be some cheapish lowering springs? difficult on sod all budget though I know.
