Had the same on my mk5 when i got it. If its vinyl i think it may have shrunk, mine did. I tried everything but ended up buying a complete second hand roof for £120 in the end. (mohair this time)

This is no longer a cheap upgrade, second parts have gone through the roof. Second hand fiesta engines start at approx four hundred pounds,most will need a rebuild, pistons alone cost £500 -£1,000.00 . A recent rebuilt engine sold for £1,800.00 , a turbo will cost £500.00 engine management is expensive to. Sorry to sound defeatist but this now the norm. A cheaper upgrade may be fit a two litre Zetec from a mondeo am sure you can buy a new crated engine for £1,000.00 ish and will give you 150 bhp if mated to good exhaust and induction kit and no need to run a turbo.

Put some pictures on m8.

No,don’t see them to often, may have to buy a cheap second bumper and remove the trim, it’s not easy to get them out and put them in spot on either. Good luck

Thats not a mk4 in the picture its a mk5a or a mk6 , mk4 is from 1986-1990 trims are totally differant. If its a mk4 86-90 rear black trim you want a guy on ebay sells them.

What year ?

Nice, always look good in red.

The inlet manifold bolted on the back of the engine shows Efi stamped in big letters on the front, and also mfi will have a distributor cap on the right hand side of the engine, efi has a coil pack instead. Have you got a Haynes mk4 manual ,it’s like a bible for cars and shows you lots of close ups of parts, well worth buying one. We alll had to start somewhere as you are doing now.

Am surprised, all tennis cars I have seen are mfi, they seem to be registered between July and December 1989

Have you asked at a parts dept in ford dealers ?

Check all hoses around throttle body for leaks or tears

Just bought my third cab, hope it looks as good as yours when finished.

Welcome, good to see another one saved. Top work.

Try rs turbo breakers in Bournemouth , they sell replacement body panels, unsure if they do mk6, but give Ian a call.

A little work needed underneath on seals and such, but a beauty. Will keep posted.

One on eBay for £4250, needs finishing tho

Nice collection, not many of them around, if one comes up for sale I would guess would still be running standard engine, expect to pay around 7 k
-
Collected a couple of rear arch repair panels over the weekend, hope to start work soon.
-
Down to you, original factory spec cars worth more money, but its your car and you want it the way you want it.
-
Looks, half modded already, I have just bought another and gonna modify it, saying that I do have nice original tennis I owned for sixteen years.

I have had problems with earths to car body, worth checking ?
