Re: Ford Fiesta Mk3.5' Projekt OEM+: I need some ummpphh
Cheers Ben. I'll have to reconsider. This all aside I think my best bet would be to actually get a RS1800, and just swap everything around. Then that way, nothing can go wrong, gives me a bit more power and that's sorted then. 1.4 sounds like its not worth fitting, not worth the trouble.

Re: Ford Fiesta Mk3.5' Projekt OEM+: Re-Shell, Five Door Wanted!
Due to lack of interest in my parts. I've decided to re-shell, but this time I want a five door. I want to be a bit different, five doors look very good with a bit of stance/lowness!
I would prefer a late spec Ghia, with electric windows, central locking etc. I want a 1994-1996 Mk3 for obvious reasons as I want to switch the parts over.
I've been looking at one, mint and cheap. Only thing that's putting me off is its a 1.8 Diesel.
If anyone is aware of a five door available then let me know. Cash is waiting.
Cheers,
James

My Mrs and I use a Ford Focus as a daily, so that shouldn't be a problem. Just need to find the right one now... Harder than I thought.

Even if it takes a couple of years, it will still be awesome!
