    Yeah, plans are to do the fiesta properly, with a 1600 crossflow in and all that, nothing tacky or anything.

    just scraped a bit, blowing slightly but thats all good because it sounds nicer , I am quite happy with it at the minute I'll probably repaint the bonnet at some point and I'll just spray the back bum

Nice work

Looks fresh! What's your future plans?

That looks sharp man nice big work shop how much you charge for paint job ?

Thanks guys, the paint work isnt perfect such as on the roof where shit came down from the roof but its good enough 8-) although I cant claim I did the painting itself because my dad did most of that since thats what he does as a job, I doubt he would be up for painting more whole cars though. And for future plans I need the exhaust sorting out and a mk2 golf splitter , and speakers and that for the inside because there arent any, other than that just wait around until I can actually drive it

Well worth the ask. Keep up the good work :smile: what drop did you go for ?

  • Author

yeah h, its the same 80/80 everyone else does, that kit seems to be a bit random because everyone seems to get different results, some people will probably say the front should be lower but since speed bumps exist i'd rather be able to actually drive it :D

80/80 really yes front does look high for 80 drop ..

  • Author

Thats what I thought I'm guessing the front is more like a 60 but its a cheap kit so I'm not too bothered

Ebay then ?

  • Author

yes, Its all I can afford at the moment

Looking good, love that colour!

can easily get away with cutting 1 coil off the front to level it out, just adjust bump stops.

  • Author

Then I will most likely do that eventually and thanks!

It's strange because Mine is 80/80 and my front end looks much lower. I got my kit of eBay too. I want to make the back about an inch lower so it's level.

  • Author

Its what it was listed as, it was brand new aswell but its likely that the front it 60, and did you adjust the ring thing on the rear shocks?

Yes I adjusted my rears to the bottom notch.

To be honest yours looks like it's sitting the same as mine. And in this picture it doesn't look like the front is lower, but when you stand next to the car the front is defiantly lower.

You got your door done then ?

Yeah, I got it fitted the last time I saw you remember?

  • Author

You're probably right, my front is higher but personally I am happy with how it sits, in person the reverse rake isn't very noticeable and with a splitter it will probably stand out less aswell, yours is very nice though, what wheels are you thinking of getting? Also I'm still have a few months of being 16 so when I can actually take my test I will drive it like this for a while and eventually probably chop a coil out the front

Ats classics.

  • Author

cool

Yes I do but did you not have a few problems with it fitting ? with door lines etc.

Yeah, i bent the door frame somehow as I drove it home, but I gave it a good whack with a mallet and it just about fits now lol

Good lad :smile:
