Father Ted Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Very Sound Bodytub - destined for a 2.0 Zetec conversion sadly. Runs, stops starts, has been restored, now strangely left to moulder.

Mr_Bo11ox Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 2.0 zetec conversion is a good use of a mouldy Mk1 fiesta if you ask me, got to be better than a wobbly 'XR2 Replica' or something!Carry on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Father Ted Posted July 22, 2008 Author Share Posted July 22, 2008 Quite fancied it as a resto project myself as a 1100, very similar to the wife's first car. Its the RWD aspect of it he was describing that I thought was very ambitious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk2_craig Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 It's amazing how often the concept of a RWD mk1/mk2 Fiesta rears its ugly head. Just buy a fuggin Capri instead :roll:That stripped one looks suspiciously like my old 1.1L, however I reckon that was probably cubed after the guy I sold it to's sister crashed into it in his driveway "Dammit Paul, that car wasn't there yesterday" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rover V8 in it. Went well, looked like a tacky XR3i with white wellers... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CortinaDave Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 Onslows Cortina survived until early this year on the BBC parking lot. Unfortunately despite a few cortina forum members offering it a new home it ended up scrapped! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Delicious! Seems like there's easily more top-spec LGX models about than anything else, they must be too wrapped up in the ludicrously chintzy seats to scrap them or something.Can't say the same of the vinyl-seated LC, which I've never ever seen or heard of outside of the brochure.

mk2_craig Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Nice Uno! Looks like the 70SL my dad nearly replaced his 55S with circa 1987. Hella grille strangely unappealing though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
