Hi, this is a page to show the progress of my Mk4 1996 Ford Fiesta 1.3 Encore. The first page when, i first got it in November 2004 for the tidy sum of �1000.00 with only 47,000 miles on it, tax till mar 2005 and tested till aug 2005 and only 2 owners from new. So apart from it being a very basic car, i had to see past that to what it could be.

After fueling up, I brought it home, and parked it up. threw away the shit plates that had been on there since 1996, vacuumed it out, and planed to wash it, then went inside and did something else.

The next morning, I went up and bought new number plates, some 6x9s, some more speaker cable, and I also picked up my stealth shelf from some bloke in bracknell.

Here it is just after arriving home, I pulled the hubcaps off, becuase not only are they the original, but they were broken and one was missing, and they are shit, alloys are the way to go.

How it has changed

And again

The engine bay, prior to a clean, its 1.3 Endura EFi engine, with all the BHP of a turtle on speed. but it ran, did good mpg, so i shouldnt complain, apart from i wanted the 1.25 16V zetec model, but i didnt want a 5door car.

And that fantasic interior Ol' Mr Ford spared no expense on, apart from everything. And this was prior to me pulling out the cassette player. Since I had to drive home listening to the Capital FM, lovely. And I broke the antenna thingy trying to put the smaller antenna that was on my old car, but it wasnt going to happen.

**LATEST**

Just after my lil crash, i have repaired and am now back on the road, nu bumper, nu trackrod end, nu alloys not 2nd hand, and a nu tyre.

I Like it more than ever, the new alloys look even better than the old ones did, and they looked nice, bit i think the thicker looks better. the side with the new trackrod end. and rear tyre.

Back of my car, and now I have to put a nu number plate bulb in.

The nu headunit �200 well spent. nothing else to say, still working out how to use it lol.
