After having my mk3.5 1.3 for just over 2 years now, i felt it was time for something with a bit more grunt. I had been looking for a while not really desperate then i saw this 1 come up in the forum. Its completely standard, really clean and hardly any rust on it. Its also completely colour coded spolier and even the outer mirror bases.

The owner before SORN it which comes into action in September, which is quite good because i now dont have run 2 cars, and plus the tax runs out today. I got the previous owner to put a years MOT on it and it came back with no advisories at all.

as it was when i got home

the only bit of rust on the outside and has now been treated(pic before being treated)

sills


the second bit of rust and last of it, again has now been treated will be welded when on the road

rear



and after a clean today



my plans at the moment are just small things
1. Nees to get rid of the extra Si badge on the boot

2. Get new number plates as it also has another Si icon on and also has the previous owners name on, which was a girl
3. Swap the alloys off my 1.3 over to the si, and swap the tyres from the si over on to the alloys as well as they are virtually brand new and are actually the right size for the wheel

4. Just stick some chrome bulbs in the front indicators

Thats about it at the for the mo wheels will be sorted next week so will update when done.
Tell me what u think

[hb69]

I think,

-i want the steels
-swap the backbox for one like simons
-put a 2.0 in it

Thats it.

[Luke1990]

I think,

-i want the steels

and jamie am planning to swap the tyres from the si to the alloys which are brand new, but someone rung up today for the 1.3, so ill just have to swap the wheels over and that will go to the top of the list for things to do, if it get bought

[fiend]

Looks like its in awesome condition.

Those two rusty patches are easy enough to fix.

[dontpannic]

Looking good Toby! I'll have to see it in the flesh

Nick

[Minstral]

[Minstral]

[xr2i-carl]

Hi Toby.


Glad your happy with the si. It is a lovely example of one. Glad its gone to a good home where someone is enthusiastic about it. Rather than any old person.

GF was sad to see her go LOL



Carl

[Minstral]

cheers carl, trying to sell mine as still aint driven it since i tested it on sunday lol just want rid of the 1.3 now, eager to get it on the road.

[Minstral]

been meaning to update this for the last few weeks.

i have now put the alloys i had on the 1.3 on but with smaller tyres and with the headlight protectors on.
after a clean today




im on the look out now for some 15" alloys as they just look that it small and need to fill out the arches more.

also been on my to do list was to clean the roof lining after seeing the job that JamieFRST had done on his. it was pretty dirty lots of marks mainly around the back end next to the boot. did the whole thing with carpet cleaner and i think it came out really well.
before

after


next on the list are the mirors, as they have been painted over the textured stuff and the near side has started to crack
what do you think?

[Minstral]

just bought some new wheels! will be fitting as soon as the rain holds out

so watch this space

[xr2i-carl]

Looks good mate. Ill have to show the GF the pics you have posted.

Keep up the goodwork and i lookforward to seeing more updates.

P.S have you sold the 1.3?

[Minstral]

yh sold the 1.3 must 've been just over a month ago now.

yh its going really well, just been up to alton towers in it and had no problems at all.

next on the list is to get the alloys on which should do tomorrow weather permitting. and ill enquire about springs later in the week as i work around the corner from Rally Design . and to get the rust in the boot welded. with the wheels ive just bought its starting to take shape and point me in a direction cant wait

[hb69]

With those new wheels and a 50mm drop id say it will look spot on. Well, maybe a laguna splitter would make it even better though.

[bakewell001]

What wheels have you got then??

[Minstral]

What wheels have you got then??

have to wait and see steve
fitted them yesterday but ran out of light to take any decent pics. will upload later

[bakewell001]

I think i know the ones...

Looking forward to pics

[Minstral]

Here are the pics as promised, after a quick clean today.

Think it looks really good but you can see it does need lowering.





and playing with the light on the camera

my favourite


Only problem at the moment, which is no biggie (and im sure some of you have noticed), is that the locking wheel nuts stick out which is pushing the cap out. After chatting with Wayne and Steve we've discovered that they are locking wheels nuts for mondeos or something of that size. So gota to get proper fiesta ones then they sit fine.

A big thanks to Steve for letting me have them as well as i know he loves them.

What ya think?

[Steve1127]

nice! i want my car back

[hb69]

Get those springs i told you to get.Slammage

[bakewell001]

Nice wheels, but as Henry said - get it lowered!

Did i ever get my spring compressors back the first time?

[Tweek]

Looking good, very shiny when I saw it in person As Henry says though, needs lowering.

For anyone who can't see, he has "Chloe Dancer" on his number plates

[:: blade ::]

wheels look good on it mate just needs dropping on its arse now , oh if you want the 2i skirts and arches, ive got them for a nice price if you want them

[hb69]

Please dont fit the 2i kit

[:: blade ::]

hahaha, i need to get rid of it, and i thought he would follow the crowd altho thank god hes took the mondy rims off

[Minstral]

will be lowering soon once ive put an order in to rally design which is just round the corner from work

i'm probably not gona go for th 2i kit as it is over done, may look into laguna splitter in the future as well, never no

[Tweek]

Pi spoiler FTW lol.

[Turboboy67]
