"Update...2nd June 09. was meant to take out last night on 'testdrive' but was the worlds worst grinding noise coming from front. No idea what it could've been so left it till today..... And was the simplist of things because i'd bought new discs turns out not as wide as old ones resulting in O/S/F alloy scraping on strut...Luckily for me had some 2mm spacers kicking about stuck these on....................................................................................................................testdrive........ Like a big F**king Kid.... Loving it lovin it lovin it like that I now look forward to my drive to work and all being well M.O.T... fingers toes everything possible crossed..... "

"Well final update. She's passed M.O.T. straight through AWESOME. Had to buy a new battery as old one was knackered and tester stalled car and couldn't restart... DOH!!! So needless to say straight on phone to insurance..... Classic car insurance. (how cool) fully comp all mods declared covered for track days etc 1 years no claims. _Ǭ£300... Gotta love it.. And finally some pics away from the house... Morning of M.O.T My first port of call after work photo-shoot... I do like the last one..... "

It's an escort 1.8 zetec from a P plate converted to a turbo. So any Zetec engine plus all stuff you'd need. Would say it's a simple job but then i'd be lying.... De-compression plate and Fiesta turbo management plus other stuff. Not 100% on it all. someone else did the build etc but didn't do best job in the world so am re-learning everything i need to about turbos now I know there's some very usefull info on Fiestaturbo.com...
