Fiestas Have A Redeeming Feature!

[Jrod 7]

They will pay for my 205 to be fixed!

 

Recently got hold of a 2000 fiesta Zetec S for £100. Also it happened that my next door neighbor also has one in VGC but with a blown engine. Quick chat later and I now have 2 fiesta ZS for £250. Spent the weekend swapping the engined from the £100 one into the £150 one which is nearly finished.

 

Now get to sell the decent one for rather alot more than was paid for both and still have the other one to break!

Almost a win win situation!! Well except it means there is still one more fiesta on the road than needed.

 

Nice one.

6 months later and I've started to pull my finger out. Alas it runs for the first time in 2 years! Absolutely perfectly with no warning lights etc.

A few more small bits to do (mainly torquing up bolts) and I'll consider what I want to do with it.

 

As it stands from breaking 1 I'm already £250 up and realistically I'm going to be looking for £1500+ for this Fiesta depending how mint I make it. Win.

Is the 1 you are breaking red by any chance? I have a friend that needs some bits. He may also be interested in a set of wheels

Both black cars

[Jrod 7]

As Dave said, both black and the 1 I was breaking is all gone. I scrapped what was left of it back in Febuary.

They make good competition cars!

The shell I scrapped was a non sunroof one aswell. When I bought it the plan was just to use it for Autosolos etc.

 

The problem is when I got hold of my neighbors I knew how much money I could make...

[Sandy 191]

Bah! They don't half rot for a modern car though.

[Jrod 7]

 

Not bad for a car that owes me nothing except 30 hours work but then I've made £250 already so its worked out ok.

 

I've got to spend another £100-£150 I recon for the MOT, brake hoses and aircon gassing.
