A Rusty Ford Fiesta

Jesus you don't mess around do you?!?!?
My only criticism of the kit is I don't like the top of the front wing extensions, other than that it looks properly aggressive!!!

Never haha
The bit you’re pointing out is actually the only part of the kit I didn’t like, but it has grown on me since. I think some better style wing mirrors would help but they are ridiculously pricey for R34 aftermarket ones since most are discontinued. :/

Are you going to blend the kit in and colour code it?

Yeah eventually. The kit isn’t the best quality, needs some sanding / filling. just a lot of minor imperfections need sorting really.

Not sure if I’m keeping it the same colour yet or adding the extra cash for a colour change

Just some functional wheels and tyres for the fiesta.
Didn’t get the chance to trial fit the rear wheels as the axle spacers were pushing them too far out.

Well I finally managed to get hold of a temporary garage to store the fiesta.. it isn’t anything special, but beats leaving it outside on the drive this time of year.
Hopefully by the end of this year I’ll be getting another house with a decent garage to carry on things properly.



Got some new wheels for the skyline, waiting for some new adjustable arms to arrive to add some slight negative camber for better clearance as the wheels are a lot wider than I had imagined. (Camber Will be minimal and hardly noticeable).




5mm spacer will be added just to clear the brake line on the caliper



Rears have a 6” lip, total width is 11.5J ET-39 had no choice but to go for a very subtle amount of stretch with the tyres.


Some Nankang semi slicks.




Give her a wash, removed the front and rear control arms whilst I wait for the adjustable ones to get here now.


Standard rear camber bolts




^new spoiler flap as well, I think it looks pretty cool.
I have also got the skyline booked in for a colour change fingers crossed end of February.

Well finally got the wheels on the skyline after deciding to go for some new and better coilovers.. the ones that where on the car are unbranded (cheap rubbish) was very harsh to drive.
Went for some MeisterR, heard good stuff about them.
Also installed my Hardrace camber arms to get the new wheels to fit.

YES, I know! Too much camber so went back and toned it down quite a bit.




I’m quite happy with how it sits now, got it booked in for tracking tomorrow as the car is all over the place front & rear since fitting the camber arms. Hoping I can make it to the garage in one piece

Aside from the yellow tyre lettering, I really like where the Skyline is going. Is it really your daily? I love low cars but that would get killed on the roads where I live.

Presume at some point you are painting the body - what are you thinking?


The cossie arches on the Fiesta will look fab, used to be a popular mod (along with nova arches) and its something you don't see any more - interesting how trends are cyclical.

Jesus's my eyes
Somebody crashed that into Halfords
Circa 2002?

You’re on the wrong thread if you’re looking for something you’ve seen 8000 times already.
Hop along now, sheep.

Thank you. I do have the skyline booked in for paint hopefully early March time .
I have a really cool colour planned (I hope)

Both cars look great, keep posting 👍

Fantastic work to both cars.

My son had an R34 a few years back (yes, I am SERIOUSLY OLD - 61) as it was his dream car from the years on the Playstation, I could never really 'get it' but went in his a few times, then I did! His was a daily and had the carbon bonnet/bootlid etc and a bit of tuning work. Sadly it got written off when it got 'T' boned when he was coming out of work and so now he has a house with the insurance money!

He's had a few other JDM cars (Supra turbo and an MR2 Turbo) but I know he'd love another R34.

Keep up the good work
