1988 Fiesta

[area51_for_psx]

Hi guys

Have an 1988 fiesta were the body is rotten but the engine is good. Only done 30kmiles. Was thinking about selling it for scrap or breaking it but before I do. Is there anyother cars you can think of were the engine would be an easy swap. So I could look out for a good body but wrecked engine.

Would it go into a ka?

If not it will land in the scrap heap

How bad is the rot?

I would sell the engine to someone who has a keen interest in Fiestas.
I wouldn't bother with anything else tbh it is not a special car.

Sills are rotted through and the arches.

Yeah I know its a shame as its a nice wee car for a run about but I just dont have the skills to weld it togther

What engine is it? 1.1 or 1.3 Valencia? I think the only car newer than the Mk2 Fiesta to use them is the Mk4 Escort.

its a 1.1

Sling it on ebay

trouble is unless it's an XR2 no one will want it i think.

Any car has like £200 scrap value now, and theyll collect free.

its a 1.1

Ideal for engine conversions then
