hi all. had some real great help on this site already and met a few good ppl who have helped me so far.
basically i had a x reg fiesta zetec s and ive always wanted a lude. but it had 2 be the 2.2 vtec.
n e way i put my fiesta up for sale and within a month i had 0 fone calls. and it wasnt overpriced either so i emailed as few ppl with ludes for sale and a chap got back to me and was up for a swap. he got a cracking deal if im honest as the lude is pretty grim in places. but i wasnt selling the fiesta so thought y not swap. its a 1993 jdm bb1 2.2vtec no 4ws no lsd box. has air con cruise and all the usual extras including the jdm sub
i have done a fair few things already:
channged clocks as speedo needle did not light up.
replaced heater motor
wrong ecu was fitted so took that out and fitted a p13 and brought a ecu cover and fitted that on.
piece of plastic was missing on the trim wer the carpet staples to so replaced that and tidied it all up
fitted jdm mats
replaced broken cup holder with 1 thats mint
cleaned and replaced a load of missing screws e.t.c on the interior
fitted wheel arch lineings as there wernt n e when i brought the car
fitted a jdm oem splitter as again this was missing when i brought the car
got the headlights working properly
cleaned engine and done a few bits to it just cosmetical
fixed water leak 4 now that was coming through the screen. will all be done correctly when i have the bodywork done.
got speakers workin correctly
fitted my rs*r exmag gt2 exhaust
had cambelt/balance belt/cam and balance tensioners done along with a crank oil seal and balance shaft oil seal. had valve clearences checked and the timing roughly adjusted. wont be able 2 get perfect until i ge tthe idling rite.
things to do:
then bodywork e.t.c and new wheels and coilovers
this car has severe rot by the screen. its all repairable but not a pretty site atm the bodywork is a state lol
pics to cum asap.

You've been busy!
Good work so far, the interior looks great.
Not sure about the VW in the background though.  _________________
