Hi Ma$$, Thanks, it is an outstanding car. I need to put new tires on it, and would like to find a five or six speed for it. I am really dreaming when I wish for a six speed, aren't I?
I owned 3 Fiestas and loved them all. Yours is great. I had a friend with one the had a similar body kit as yours but his was dark blue. the body rusted out from under him though. The 5 speed that came in the first gen USA Escorts back in the 80's will bolt up to the Kent engine. You will have to do a bit of modification to the chassis to fit it in there but it can be done.
Thanks Jimbbski, I will start my search for th old escorts. The engine has plenty of power, so it should improve my gas mileage. I have just installed smaller injectors also, as I get about 10mpg! But it is quick!
That is a thousand different kinds of awesome!
Thanks Woody, it is nice. Hope to do an interior upgrade. The doorpanels are starting to llook bad. May also redo the seats as fabric is wearing thin.
