Legend! Nice one Rodney, just a quick question though, what gearbox did you use in your Fiesta?
well 1st off was a 1300 5 speed out off a mk5 escort , was a animal with this but it made 1st gear redundent and i found myself keep pullin away in second gear even with 15s on it , got it too 120 on the clocks racing a tuned civic but backed off there as i had images off pistons comin thru the bonnet to say hello , and i beat the civic lol,
i then fitted a 1600 box from a xr2/mk4 escort was still fast and showed 140 on the clocks very fast with 13s on it ,
i dont have many pics of the conversion anymore buts heres a couple i have showing the mounts ,
this shows after a had the engine fitted , i had to take it out leaving the engines bolt on mount in as it was easyer
this is cut up ready for weldin in peice where i cut for water pump , (dont have to be this big tho) and the engine mount i used,
engine dummy fitted ,
this is it in and running before respray etc,
