put the new engine in lol get the rear arches sorted brought a fiesta to get around in now 350 with 11months mot and 6 months tax

got the engone completely out




looking sorry for its self



new round about

just got the cd player in the fiesta was going to do the sub but then i wont be able to put the engine crane in the back of the car

lol clean for the money, so just got do the welding thne the engine can go in

yer mate its going to be fun when its all finished lol

its going to be running nitrous oxide a k and n filter and a s/s exhaust for now

im going to look in to having a custom cold air induction kit made for it and a nitrous controller when its got a controller i will be runing 100hp jets

just got be carefull not to melt the head tho, and make sure the engine bay is fully strengthened then overwise the front will just twist

yer im having it all stich welded

good good

100 shot is the limit for a stock xe realy mate!! if you really intend to run that amount i would strongly recomend fitting arp rod bolts! as the stock ones are no good after 160 ish bhp

yer i was thinking about doing that at the same time as the shell bearings and other stuff 100hp shot in way in the future anyways lol

lol just buy a pug and be done with it lol

yer i will spend just as much time fixing it lol

haha yeah very true

yea cos its off the road again lol

still waiting on the engine crane so it is taking a bit longer then i thourght it would i brought some paint for the litle rust spots under the bonnet as well as a wire wheel and rust nutriliser

fianlly got the engine crane yesterday took ages to sort it out needed to go buy new bolts for it and grind the relese leaver so we could get a spanner on it manged to fix aload of the surface rust under the bonnet i will get some pictures of that up tonight or tomorow im well please with the rust treatment i brought and all for £1.10 lol

so had my brother my mate come round and lend me a hand sorting the car out as i want the engine on the bolts atless by thursday so after 18 cans and a few bottles of beer we manged to get a engine mount off(one bolt lol) cut the exhaust of and turn the car around to face the other way that all took 5 and a half to 6 hours not to bad in my books lol
