Hi I'm fairly new to the forum although I have had maybe 10 Rs turbos over the years consisting of escorts and fiestas, and had various other fords and other cars, I have just purchased a couple months bk, a fiesta Rs turbo off a friend that I have been trying to get for some time now, The car I have now is just a standard car and I think that is the reason I like it so much, its had 2 previous owners 1's owner was a lady , original bill of sale etc with the car , it is just standard apart from a stainless exhaust , a alloy radiator and lowered on springs, I have the original radiator , bk box and front pipe with the car also the standard springs, I have already fitted the original red motorcraft plug leads bk on , I will get a standard centre section over the winter for it , so I have all original parts, And a new brake fluid reservoir as its looking a bit yellow stained, ( fluid reservoir now ordered from tompeteRS spares :D )

The reason I bought this car in particular , I knew it was a nice car when my friend had it, but when he got me to lower it I couldn't believe how mint it is underside and original unrestored, most mk3 fiestas up this way are rot boxes , so I asked him about purchasing it every other month lol, eventually he needed money for a deposit on a house so I had my chance to get it ,

Hope you like

What a lovely example! If you want to drop me a PM I can sort you out with a new ABS Master Cylinder + Reservoir for a very good price. :D

Welcome. That's really nice! At some point I'd love a low mileage, unrestored FRST with FSH.

Enjoy :D

Thanks, mileage is 88k , not mega low, but the condition of the car is like half that mileage, Saying that 1 year old cars now could have 100k on them so if you look at it like that it is low mileage for the age of the car, :)
