I bought this in May 2015 but I've only just got around to sharing it on here. This is how I got it 
I've not done a lot to it to be honest, rebuilt the head, repaired a couple of rust holes, swapped my good panels onto it (mainly to clear some space in the garage) and that's about it

Loving this, what engine is in this as standard? And is this standard? Forgive my ignorance, I'm a VW head  |

I'd place a bet on this being a 1.3, which is a crossflow unit, mated to a four speed box - fairly nippy for what it is.
I like supersports. A lot.
Looked very tidy in the first photos, do you have any pics of the afflicted areas before you started work? Would be interesting to see.
Are you planning on putting the decals back on it at any point?

What a cool project. I think I'm right in saying that The Supersport is about the rarest Fezz nowadays and a lot harder to come by than the XR2! Keep up the good work!  |

mouse Stop asking questions and get back to work, lazy  ! On a side note, I think they had the 1600 CVH same as an XR2

Thanks for your kind comments guys. It's pretty much standard apart from the seats which are from a Cortina GLS. The plan is to do a rolling resto, eventually I will respray it, which I will do myself (even though I've never done any spraying) This is the passenger door   This is the drivers door, unfortunately I didn't take a pic before I started playing with it  I don't have a pic of the grot on the bootlid |

Nice wee car there chap no extras , no weight, seems an idea a few modern cars could follow ! i had a 1300S back in the early 90's, fun little thing, chuckable and the 1300 Xflow was revable little thing, fun fun fun  tunable for a wee bit more power and oh so easy to work on, i miss easy to work on cars  everything nowdays is 20 mins of plastic removal or 20 mins searching for the OBDii port, you could have fully serviced the Xflow in that in 20 mins |

800 kilos with a 66bhp 1.3 engine, and this was the sporty model.
whats happened to us all, theres now national shame if you have less than 300bhp

One of my teenage dream cars. A neighbour of ours had one and then a MK1 XR2. Good to see it still has the RS wheels on it. These always looked great on the MK1.

Love these little Fiestas. Used to race one in Autograss years ago. Baicay the engine is a transverse 1.3 mk2 Escort xflow. It got me to the Autograss National Finals back in 2002. Where I crashed it on the 1st corner.
