Hi all, what do you think of my fiesta? Also any guesses on what people think she might be worth?

Full roll cage picking up all suspension mounts
Adjustable bilstein on rear (bump and rebound-custom built)
Bilstein on fronts
ZF diff
4 pot ap calipers with titanium Pistons on front, 2 pot on rear
Sierra cossie engine with updated hybrid turbo, 293 bhp
Omex engine management, all new wiring loom
Just been professionally re sprayed inside and out (haven't put seats and lights etc back on yet!)
Full seam welded shell in good condition
Aero quip throughout
Plumbed on fire extinguisher
Alloy fuel tank
Lots lots more!

Looks unreal, slightly RS200-esque. How much does she weigh?

That looks properly wild. Although I think I would prefer it if the arches were a tad more subtle.

I would love to build an rwd mk3 but my plans would revolve around a 2.0 focus engine and no external mods.

Value ~? Well all you need is a nutter with cash, who thinks it's better than a sierra cosworth, and you could get lucky, (or not). I wouldn't think it's really worth all the time and sweat you've put in to it. let alone the value of the parts. But that is not the point. The point is that you and you alone, own this mental beast, and can have fun playing with it.


If I were very picky: I think astra GTE 16V bonnet vents would have been less predictable.

BUT I particularly LIKE the Q reg, and the holes in the front of the bonnet.

Value ? 5 x much if you split it

But please please don't . It's awsome

What's the storey, had did you aquired it, or did you build ?

Looks like the ground floor to me....

I bought it off my dad in pretty sorry condition, spent a lot of money on it to get it up to scratch! He used it for Tarmac rallying but I'm pretty sure it started off life as a thunder saloon with a bda engine. Thanks for your input all!!

[frodo_monkey]

I'm pretty sure I remember it from watching Thundersaloons back in the day... Put up some pictures on the "Bring back 80s 90s Thundersaloons" on Facebook, or on Ten Tenths, and I'm sure some of my fellow racers will help you out!

Looks great

Cool car, just needs the correct wheel offsets to make the arches correct. I thought it looked a bit thunder saloon and that is no bad thing. These sort of things are worth so much more in terms of your own appreciation than the sum of parts.....I have a wide arch 205 4x4 t16 Cosworth with just under 500bhp!
