dunno yet, its running lovely at the moment, just want to tidy a few bits up, probably need a new windscreen, needs a new roof lining, hopefully Bob can sort me out a sun roof one, just got a dashboard that i'll do maybe next weekend if i get a chance, wheels need refurbing, little bits like that at the moment. the garage i take it to put me off a little bit, said his mate has one and its forever off the road, don't know what he's done but its got more power than mine and its forever doing cv joints/driveshafts etc. so at the moment i want to get it all tidied up and then we shall see. i've got a company car as well so its not like its my daily car which is good, i had a black one about 11 years ago as my only car, after a year i couldn't afford it, bit wiser now better paid job so no rush. my oldest lad is 17 soon, just got him that mk1 also in the picture, got him on my case as well, get a job you cheeky sod i've got my own car to sort. just bought him supersport wheels so that'll keep him happy for a while, not that he can drive it yet!!!!!

I like the mk1 fiesta's my brother had 2 of them, a standard 959cc for his first then the second had a 1600 in, that went fairly well when he bolted on a set of webbers

yeah that was my first, had the 1300 supersport, which ended up being replaced with a 1700, i loved that car

Hi and welcome, grey R's are fastest

Liking the mk1 throw some more pics up.
I had a supersport as well they sell for serious money now
Standard mk1's are still a good price tho.
Nice to see you introducing your son to classic cars!

I have just bought myself a nova sr project

Nothing wrong with GTiRs. had mine over 12 years & run at 320hp for 11 of those years without issues besides usual bits you get with older cars & far less than you would have with some European shite. Basically if car good & gets good service maintenance it will be bloody reliable. If it's been in the hands of the wrong owners who tend to break & damage more than modify then god knows what can go wrong.
