Fiesta 89

There was some quality shite to see.  I passed a house on the way down with what looked like a proper Fiat 500 and a Volvo 164 on the drive with something else under a tarp.  I saw a few things on the way back, tatty Suzuki X90, tidy pov spec MK3 Fiesta and my load bus yard who I've heard might have ceased trading had an Optare Alero and an LDV Convoy visible.

See the boot mounted battery? Ah.

New battery fitted after some 90's twoc related shenanigans.

 

Brakes roughly freed off (gently mind - strip incoming)

So, a bit of an update.

 

Brakes sort of freed off.

Cambelt and tensioner replaced.

Battery replaced.

Random wires checked, reconnected, etc.

 Sub and amp disconnected - head unit kept by po.

 

Old V5 found. 

History / reciepts found, filed.

Show spec sheet found. Handy.

 

Fluids checked - ok. Obviously due a change, but no emulsification or swarf etc.

Fuel tank removed. Ah. 

 

Free advice - store vehicles with a full tank.

Fuel pump seized. Tank surafce rusty. Sender rusty.

 

Obtain spi tank, sender and pump assm. 

Fit. 

 

No key for shonky fuel cap. 

Use previously gained knowledge to effect removal with no panel damage.

Apply fuel. No leaks.
