Outstanding engineering ! ! ! ! The amount of love & admiration I have for this build is off the scale ....but the black engine cover on the cosworth block has set my ocd off !
Someone 's just literally showing off with the welder!!! But if you've got that level of skill, why wouldn't you?! Magnificent work. Incredible really.
This was a a really nice shell, so just shows what you could do with a rotter. Amazing metalwork and final product. I guess the brief got more radical as the build progressed. Would have made an amazing sleeper. Just awesome!!
Mate WOW that is absolutely stunning what a car and the workmanship bet that car is beautiful to drive sitting slabbering over the screen lol and you nailed the colour
Man, I wish I wasn't broke as hell. If I could afford my own tools I'd love to take on a project like this. Brilliant work btw! As a huge Ford fan, these are the kinds of build I dream about!
i got to this video after finding it on google website search, then finding project bobcat, saw all pages there then got hear, wow, amazing build, then sad to hear it got stripped and the shell was sold separately, shame a buyer didn't want to put up the correct money for it. would of been good see some live action vids of it. some talent right there, amazing.
I had a dark metallic blue xr2 before I had a license. I was 16. I talked my dad into buying one that was damaged so I could fix it and sell for a small profit. Then when I got my license I got a black xr2. I think they were 1982-83 models.
I would have preferred to see a GRP 2 Fiesta I.e. with traverse bda and front wheel drive. I was building one myself many years ago but had to sell it. The suspension was done and it handled superbly...
great work. amazing engineering. the one problem i have is the pressed holes in the gussets for the engine crossmember, looks like it would collect water as i cant see a way for the water to escape from there?
If someone can entertain me - why do you Brits use a parallel 4 link rather than a 3 or triangulated 4 link if paved circuits are all it will see? I'm stateside, found an imported one locally and am seriously considering doing something like this.
Almost 26 minutes of PHOTOS. It would have been nice to get a video of a start-up or test drive. But then again, you had nothing to do with this build...
Richard Neilson is correct, all these photos originally came from magazines from years back. The images are relative but most of the cars are very expensive rebuilds. In some cases they start with a car that has no value and rebuild the car with super expensive parts and exotic welds.
,am these people are throwing their lives away, you know it's the 2010'#s nearly the 2020's now, and theres fucking 100's of millions of men STUCK in the 90's and 80's. You're throwing your fucking lives away because of nostalgia. That eotion makes you remember everything as amazing and awesome and Rosie back then, but you KNOW thats not the truth. You're missing out on all of the amazing achievments and cars and new systems and just.... EVERYTHING... Life is passing you guys by, why the hell does everyone wanna be stuck in the shitty recession filled miserable 80's and 90's? everyone saying they loves COsworths etc, it's bullshit. back then the SIerra cosworth came out, they had 3 models pretty quickly, and the market was so shitty for them, people couldn't sell them, like you buy them a couple of years old for 5k, and thats the truth, now Nostalgia making everyone think you couldn't get yoru hands on one of these "Amazing cars". Fucking rickety, slow, laggy boosts on them too heavy, and the 90's were FUCKING depressing man, the fucking Antiques roadshow on TV and blockbusters and going for gold, and every cunt driving around in fucking Beiege cars. You need to stop throwing your lives down the toilet... move one... You'll regret it, BADLY when you're older.FUCK nostalgia man, its secretly one of the most damaging and negative human emoptions we have. Prevents us from growing and progressing, you're all just stuck back in your younger days, daydreaming wishing you were younger, do you know how sad and depressing that isd?
Absolute amazing build and such major modifications to the bodyshell to turn this Mk1 Fiesta into a fantastic piece of work . 10/10
Beautiful machine..such a shame ford didn't put this into production..mk1 fiesta a lovely shape..flawless build amazing skill
Seemed like the whole entire build was surely thought out, did not spare on hardly anything left out for error,,,,duly noted...
Great work

Just awesome!!
Insane amount of work there, well done. I had a supersport and an xr2 many years ago.
Mate WOW that is absolutely stunning what a car and the workmanship bet that car is beautiful to drive sitting slabbering over the screen lol and you nailed the colour

Man, I wish I wasn't broke as hell. If I could afford my own tools I'd love to take on a project like this. Brilliant work btw! As a huge Ford fan, these are the kinds of build I dream about!
All you need is a shell and you can start slowly from there man
Wow what an amazing build, Frankenstein thought he created a monster he knows nothing 😀

Good job buddy looks lovely.
Brilliant job.
Beautiful work! It will be a fun car!
Great video, thanks for sharing
great work. amazing engineering. the one problem i have is the pressed holes in the gussets for the engine crossmember, looks like it would collect water as i cant see a way for the water to escape from there?
Love the work👌🏻
I liked it, arches and all.
Amazing job. Fair play to you mate.
muito bom !
from brazil.
bravissimi !!!!! beautifullllllll
Very cool
Great job
Wow well done.
outstanding effort
Lovely build
If I ever win the lotto, I'm tracking this car down 🤞🏻
Amazing work i would love to work for you as YOU make incredible cars james
Great build..any videos of it running.
Hi.. just out of curiosity how much would a new original Ford rear spoiler cost for the Mk 1 Fiesta
Very well done. The Fiesta was front wheel drive. What diff did you use?
Fucking awesome !!!!! I have loved that car so much .............. some year`s ago on Facebook !
If someone can entertain me - why do you Brits use a parallel 4 link rather than a 3 or triangulated 4 link if paved circuits are all it will see? I'm stateside, found an imported one locally and am seriously considering doing something like this.
How wide apart are the 4 link boxes??
Thank you
Fuel tank, swirl pot, pump and filter in passenger compartment??
How does one submit a slide show to be shown on here?
Surely a car with that much power and such a short wheel base must be a right handful
I bet it's fun though.
Good job ....but why are the RWD Fiestas always so high...7 inch lower looks much better...
how and where did you get the body kit
May wanna upgrade your barrel now, sorry mate!
Put a barra in there
Shame it does not show it running with sounds
Almost 26 minutes of PHOTOS. It would have been nice to get a video of a start-up or test drive. But then again, you had nothing to do with this build...
He's just nicking photos from web forums to make a video, the cars nothing to do with him or his hard work.
Richard Neilson is correct, all these photos originally came from magazines from years back. The images are relative but most of the cars are very expensive rebuilds. In some cases they start with a car that has no value and rebuild the car with super expensive parts and exotic welds.
3 words boy WICKED WICKED WICKED. Just one thing lacking in my opinion which I would of added and that is sideskirts
Nic scare box
ANYONE GOT A 78-80 MK1 US FIESTA WINDSHIELD FOR SALE? NO EURO GLASS PLEASE. MUST BE US GLASS
Why did u let a blind guy do all the welding?
I got 11 points on my provisional Xr2 🙈
I might have got points in my xr2 if they could ever catch me :-D
ian 1971 I had a leg cast on from a football injury couldn't get out and run if I wanted to, lol
Me, physically run PMSL, never. i had a few little extras on mine when i had the engine in bits putting new rings and bearings in ;-)
ian 1971 they cornered me jumped out shouting don't fkn move son, am sitting there way a half cast on my left leg😂 bang to Wrights!
Not too impressed with the welding if I'm honest
Oooh you cant handle it that he can make a car like that.... a shame
Looks awesome but must weigh a shit ton so pointless really
Post hideomplease!!!@
Never seen a cage made from 90 degree angle before. As it can twist lol
Not really any fiesta left 😂😂
20 persons in here drive a prius
Do not like those wheel arches
Why destroy a beautiful old car to make an ugly one out of it? :(
It was mostly rust beforehand would've ended up scrap, its obviously not for the purist. I have a mk2 more or less done like this fwd. You'd hate it.

What A Waste Of A MK I Fiesta Shell
