Well time had finaly come when i had to scrap old faithful
for those who didnt know old faithful was a p reg ford mondeo estate 1.8 turbo diesel got it for nothing so can't complain. She was ok to drive and cruise about in but was just to damn big for the miss's and felt slow to start off with. Until i messed around with the diesel pump hehe. We ran it for 20k-30k miles and tbh it only had a fuel primer go on it (you know the hand pump bit sucking in air caused it to randomly stall)
Spray tinted the rear lights for the old gangsta look (lulwhut?) dont know why i did it just got bored one day.
Anyway in its place going to be (tomorrow) a green ford fiesta on a l reg (mk3) 1.3 litre of pure power. Rolling on steel rims. It has 12 months mot on it (2-3days old) tax runs out end of the month though :( and its going to have 3 brand new tyres on it as well for 420 licker which i am quite happy about. oo and it has 68k miles on the clock :thumb:
Plans are to..
Full clean inside and out, polish, t cut what ever lol
Full service including brake overhaul (maybe upgrade see lower)
Lower it down as its a bit 4x4 terrain at the minute maybe 60mm?
Some sort of nice exhaust (i missed petrols of a nice sounding exhaust)
Upgrade inside sits probly from a fez rs turbo and central locking with leccy windows maybe a alarm.
Xr3i/rs turbo front bumper, skirts, archs, and rear bumper
ford mondeo/escort gti black alloys sprayed in black
Bigger brakes up front see what i can nick them off
oo and fit my cd player with some upgraded speakers
maybe mudflaps because a car is cool with them on lol
Thats about it although i wont be doing all of them quickly as i dont have the cash and it is a daily hack so i need it to be running most of the time.
Pictures will be had tomorrow when i go pick it up :thumb:
That is all anyone want to guess what was wrong with my old faithful mondeo mk1 estate? :thumb: (had a few things lol)
