Thought I would share my latest edition to the tattoo collection Hope you like Mark :-)

Thanx for trying Ian yes please jont will take a look at ford fair so looking forward to it will defeo bring more money this time

I am looking for a set of clear indicators to go in my mk5 xr2i / rs2000 front bumper but they are like hens teeth I found a set in Leeds by a company called auto tint design but they have a few bad reviews any one have any ideas where I can get a set from thanx mark

Only small bits from your boot then , defeo not a problem not where I am from any way I would just chuck them in the boot and hope for the best you don't normally get any jobs worths but if it gives you piece of mind check with those of high standing will see you there ours is a mk5 as well you will see it in the uxbridge photos

Good pictures as per useall good company good day overall a fantastic day will defeo go to next years

It's not really my place to say but providing it s small bits I can't see the harm was chewing over the same idea my self got bits like a steering wheel, wheel centres and a pair of rear lights what bits have you got you

Interesting link loads of history enjoyed looking at that thanx

Pig of a job to remove the inner quarter card in the boot at the side of the rear seat there is a plastic lug push the centre in and remove the lug with a trim folk then inside the car where the hood rests remove a screw then a small block then the whole u shape plastic shape comes out then in do the screws near the door rubber the whole card pulls up and forward if it has wind up windeow cut a small horse shape in a bit of plastic to remove windeow winder clip to fit rear speakers to mine I took my front speakers out pushed out the old blown bits and used the old surrounds to fit my speakers better than the after market bits you buy they are fine on front doors but not on the rear good luck let me know how you get on

Can't beat an original number plate looks so much better yes welsh lad I want that fiesta I have been privalidged enough to see it in the flesh and sit in it the picture deos not do it justice

I don't think my mk5 has pats as it just uses a key with no bits in it is a 1993 L reg

Thanx for advice but I have now got a 1.8 zetec lump of a friend for a good price my next question is how do I remove the pats from the doner car as from what I understand it won't work in our car with out it thanx mark

On the mk5 the alarm horn is in the drivers side bulk head when my normall horn went I used this temperary as main horn went when the alarm went of I didn't know thought battery was dead till dad point out immobisler lights were flashing is this the cabby that was on ebay they look lovely in that blue good luck mark

Thanx don't know why I didn't think of the mondeo route so it's basically just plug and play will think about doing this over winter hope to find a mot failer don't like breaking good cars up but if needs must then I will

After talking to Ian 71 about his white mk5 I am thinking of going down the same route but I am not in a desperate hurry as my 1.6 runs v v sweet and I have spent some money on it will now ask a few basic questions some May random stupid or daft but I only have a basic mechanic knowledge my car is a 1993 L reg 1600 zetec lump I know I would have to have use the ecu of the doner car would this be a plug and play in my car Or would I have to modify the rest of the loom would the downpipes be different and are the engine mounts the same on my current lump I have the rocker cover colour coded would this bolt straight on to the 1.8 it looks the same but are there any internal differences am I right in saying this is referred to as the silver top engine what is the latest escort I could use as a doner my theory is I am better buying a donner car then removing every thing then I know I have what I need how do you prove you are buying the 130bhp lump I do have a good mechanic but he said he needed the basic facts first sorry for the long list thanx in advance mark

There is some one on ebay selling a quarter /sill panel mind you it's 2 nd hand been cut of another moter so god knows what sort of state it will be in good luck

I would Defo be up for this but no good with technology well I can't up load pictures to this site so would have to give a picture at one of the shows or Ollie could chose from any he may have a good idea to acomadate all would be to have a couple of months of shows that have been attended this year a good picture idea would be one of each mk all lined up together

A few people will know I have been debating about weather to get a wind deflector or not for a while after a few members advice and the final push from my sister I ordered it a week a go it has just arrived fitted it in between the rain storms and took it for a spin and I must say I was very impressed well exceeded my expectations looks amazeing took it on a open road at a fair speed no blowing or wind and you can now hold a conversion it was not cheap and me old man thinks I am nuts but to me it was worth every penny the only regret is I didn't get it sooner happy days

I totally get what you are saying Ollie but still worth looking at the options then we can decide from there our cab don't go in to hibernation just gets used a whole lot less

With all the shows coming up who would think it is a good ideA for us as a club to have a stand at the classic moter nec it is normally in November so with about 5 months to go it may be to late but I think it's worth some one in authority finding out least we wouldn't have to about the weather will watch this space with every ones thoughts

If it got no major issues I would sell it may be even the friend borrowing it may buy it I believe in keeping them on the road rather than breaking them or less they are rotten

Done enough talking and thinking about this and looking at other cars with them fitted so took the plunge to day went up the breakers yard and got two gas struts of a mondeo plus the four ball joints of a golf as it was the easiest and quickest car to take them of now just need to fit them watch this space will keep you posted mark

Is your roof manual or electric if manual these two bits are normal if it is a electric it means it was once a manual and these bits can be removed and yes there should be a small plastic cover on each lever I binned mine when I converted mine to a power roof best thing I ever done best of luck mark

yes was excellent show you lucky thing Ollie if the fiesta drove as nice as it looked I can see why you had a smile on your face that was one amazeing looking car brought back a few memory's catch up soon mark

A nice set of pictures as always ,thanx for showing me round the fiesta it was really nice looks fantastic take care catch up soon mark

Anti roll bars fitted all cleaned top to bottom ready for tommow hope weather holds up fingers crossed
