500+bhp Mk3 Fiesta Project

[MrMoonyMan]

This really is looking fantastic!

I can not wait to see this finished and even (possibly) in the flesh.

I'm currently under going a similar project with a car I've been passionate about for years, using lots of same manafactuer parts to create a slightly updated and faster version of the original car.

Won't be a patch on this though, how on earth you find the time I don't know..!

I am really enjoying seeing the car taking shape and coming together. It is looking excellent!

I really can't wait to see the finished article.

This keeps getting better and better.

I can't wait to see the finished result.

This is truly fantastic I love the colour of the rear seats/interior panels, it reminds me of my 406 Coupe.

It's looking amazing. Very well done - can't wait to see more!

[BigTom85]

Looking stunning.

Its the nice bit now, assembling all the shiny new bits...

[mwstewart]

Thanks everyone! I'm really pleased that it's turning out how I wanted it to.

[Beedub]

[PhilipAlfa]

Can't believe i've not seen this build thread before - it's absolutely stunning. I'm in awe of what you're achieving - totally amazing

Been reading this from day one and love every bit of it! Amazing work.

Miss my old RS2000

That's not a common transplant into a Fiesta!

This is a fab thread - makes me regret selling my RS Turbo. 200BHP and 230lbs/ft, it used to rip my arms off almost every drive!

Ha, No I just snapped on the covers while I wait to find a rain sensor mount; they come with a windscreen so aren't available separately.

Send me an email and let me know what year the mirror casing and sensor is for and I'll try and source a bracket for you. When we replace a screen with one on I'll cut it off the old glass and put it in the post.

Hi mate ... i've been following this topic for months now... you're having new job proposals for sure

I've just registered to ask you ... wouldn't it be easier to achieve that amount of power using LPG instead of petrol? LPG is a less dense fuel, allowing higher boost!

Love this car, great to see it coming together! And nice to see how well the body and trim colours go together!

Wow my old car! Your the chap from Bristol right, was a nice example and quick!

Brilliant thread and project, really enjoyed reading it.

Must be great to be able to execute your vision and for it to work out so well.

[pthelazyjourno]

How much do you think it will weigh??

Amazing watching all the rattle proofing you've done - but then again the later dashboard you've installed really is quite decent anyway. Our Fiesta 1.25 has done 90,000 miles and it genuinely doesn't make a squeak, rattle or noise.

Surprised the hell out of me - feels really solid considering.

[daymoon]

Really great project and something to be proud of.

I know it's only a Fiesta, but what ever rocks your boat.

You are doing it for yourself and not some body else!

Just don't sell it! EVER!

I'm the guy who sold it to the guy you bought it off!

Ah not far off then, cracking little car really enjoyed it if it wasn't for my clio V6 i'd have certainly kept it.
