My 1st and 2nd Cars

Hi all

I Passed my test in June 2008. My first car was a Ford Fiesta 1.1LX which was given to me by my dad as a first car about a year before i was 17, so i could have fun and learn my way around cars by playing about with it.

This is how it was when i got it:



As you can see it was very basic. But i wanted to make the most of what i had. So after joining another car enthusiasts forum (www.fiestaturbo.com), I decided that i wanted to make it into a Fiesta RS Turbo Replica. So after a few months of gathering parts, me and my brother spent about 2 weeks putting it all together.

This is what it looked like eventually:



I had this car for about 9 months before i got bored with the 1.1 engine. So i was offered a Ford Mondeo 1.8LX. It was a big step up from my little mondeo, but i liked the idea!

So this is my current car:






My plans for this car is to make it into a Mondeo St200 Replica. But progress has been very slow due to funds and insurance premiums! lol

Let me know what you think

Loving your car Ste,

Plans sound good! make sure you keep updated

The fiesta was more fun for you, even though the mondeo's faster though
And you didn't get bored with the engine! You knew it wouldn't pass it's next MOT so sold it off!!!! XD

The fiesta would have gone through it's next mot no problem, it went through the most recent one with only minor stuff needed

Oi Matt, leave my old fiesta alone! (just cos u wanted it...)

It was a very fun car, but i think the mondeo is more fun after thinking about it lol

But i did get rid of it because the rust was starting to set in, after having to weld the sills, i was going to get rid of it before the next MOT.

Then i was offered a mondeo, how could i say no? haha

You've got to admit though matt, the mondeo is nice and smooth (and powerful ) lol

I love your mondeo ste, it's a cool car and rare to find one with the bumpers intact!

dads just found this for sale!

Corrrrr!

wow! that is actually a really nice colour! lol, and i dont see how people manage to crack the bumpers so easily! it isnt exactly hard to park for how big it is.

lol!

Radiant red ftw!

I'm not saying that the mondeo isn't an excellent car, just that it needs a decent hand brake

I know, the handbrake is useless, soon have new brake shoes on it though

You failed to tell me the handbrake was rubbish Ste! LOL

yup sorry i did its because it was sat in the garage for a few months without being moved and the handbrake seised twice lol, just need new brake shoes and possibly a new handbrake cable. Very simple jobs lol
