Hi all, not been on here for a bit! Thought I'd show your guys my toy! I've copied it over from a nother forum! I live in France ATM, but would like to convert it to RHD ready for when I move back to the uk! I'm a big big ford fan and this is my first ford. The car is a 1988 fiesta 1.1. These are the pic from the web site where it was for sale.
So i had a good look at it and pretty soon realised it was solid and run well. So it was mine for the grand some of 180 euros (150"ish" pounds). Once we got the car home i washed it so i could see how bad the faded red paint was
whats wrong with the car.
Needs repainting.
The left door has had it and can not be opened from the outside.
Small rust hole.

Needs new seats all round. The old 4 speed is showing its age and I am going to put a 5 speed in it. The little 1.1 run well so as I like my cars to be different i'm gonna build a series x spec engine,some lowering springs,pollyed throughout,xr2 breaks and some 13x6 4 spoke rs wheels
