Right, I've owned this since the end of May... It's got an early 2.0 silvertop Zetec in, with the desirable DOHC 16V cam cover.... As shown in my build thread, retrorides.proboards.com/thread/167943/fiesta-xr2i-fast-track-project?page=1&scrollTo=1981555#.VFf0RMmx4vY
As you can see, the engine had a freshen up and paint just before The Gathering....
Unfortunately, the LSD box I bought from a mate turned out to be a crock of curse word, so I will be putting the RS1800 'box back in.... In fairness, it coped pretty well, but I wanted an LSD box.... Unfortunately it backfired on me, so the old box is going back in next week.... Goes very well with the Zetec in......
The car has MOT until April next year, about the 25th from memory.... Although it's taxed until the end of this month, we all know the position regarding the latest Government tax rip-off don't we???
The bodywork isn't brilliant really... It needs a new n/s/f wing, it's had some crappy repairs around the filler cap and windscreen scuttle, and it needs a new bonnet.... Could do with a full repaint really, but I just haven't got time to do it....
It's got RS1800 Recaro interior, but it's not in brilliant nick... The seat bolsters are a little worn, and the door panels need some repair work.....
Lowered(a bit too much I think), rolling on 15" Escort GTI wheels with 195/45/15 tyres with plenty of tread, budget make tho......
I'm making it sound worse than it is really, I drove this to the Gathering and back without problems.... I like this little car, kinda like driving a rapid roller skate!!
However, I am now very focused on building both my Escorts, and the Alfa's, so this fun little car has to go 
Still, my loss is someone else's gain, so here it is.... I would prefer not to have to list it on the world's most hateful auction site, so somebody please come and take it off my hands before I decide to keep it 'cos that will distract me from my long term goals...
There it is folks, available for viewings most days......
