- Welcome back all,
In this video we get my good friend Stuarts, Mk2 fiesta ready for the first big show of the year! We start by stripping the front suspension in preparation to fit some coilers that he purchased from Facebook. These coilers weren't the best and were a home made pair to suit a Mk2 fiesta but will do the job until he can afford a proper set! Once they were fitted we installed some lowering springs to the rear and finished off the modifications with a set of capri laser alloy wheels!
The finished outcome looked very retro and Stuart couldn't wipe the smile off his face. I was pleased with the job but advised him that a pan-hard rod was needed to realign the rear axle. Before the following weekend (first show) Stuart had purchased a pan-hard rod and fitted it too, as you can tell from the end clips the fiesta sits nice and straight at the rear end.
This was a really fun mini project to work on and I'm sure there will be more videos to come on his Mk2 fiesta!

Thank you all for watching, subscribe to see more Mk2 fiesta content or you can also check out my 3 playlists worth of Mk2 fiesta content, from when I restored mine!
I had exactly the same MK2 model as my first car back in 1994. C498 HRL, same colour.
It had a MK1 XR2 rubber boot spoiler, MK2 XR2 steering wheel and a K&N air filter. Great fun car.
Fiesta looks loads better now.
Doesn’t it just! 😁
When the 1980's Fiesta looks so much better than todays girlfriends / wives / mums or grans Fiesta.
O No not another MK2 Fez going sideways over Large speed humps 😂
Stuart it’s looking good 👍🏻
Great video, thanks 👍
Thank you! 😁
Wow, my first car was a C reg Fiesta ‘finesse’. Mine was silver though but identical inside, surreal 🥰.
C714 KHE … Pepperpots, Rally Giant spotlights, Cherry bomb exhaust 😂, later added XR2 front seats and steering wheel.
That’s brilliant to hear, you probably wouldn’t have thought back then that people still modify them years on! 🤣
@@Mk2Mitch I expected them all to have rusted away like mine did 😂
Thanks for showing the order of the parts for the shocks it will be really helpful in the future for someone.
Your welcome Mike! 👍🏻
Looks awesome
Lovely Car. My first car at 17 was a 1.1 popular plus fiesta in beige, great little engines. Great work Mitch and Stuart 👍
I think those wheel trims are off a Mk1 Sierra. Maybe worth selling them.
Looks great with the new wheels.
Yes I believe they are, thank you for the info!
Love it ❤ had a corsa b back when i first started driving lowered it 60mm on the front and 100mm on rear,must say it looked and drove alot better , always have a soft spot for early model fiesta's 🤗
That’s very cool, as soon as you lower a car it just feels 100x better to drive and look at 😆
I had an '86 Mk2 1.4s back in the day...an absolute hoot to drive, steering and gearchange were highlights.
That’s brilliant to hear! 1.4s are a rare sight these days 👀
Is that Paris Blue? Love that colour…
I believe it is! 👍🏻
Would look mint restored that defo needs to preserve it, great video pal “look forward to more.
He will be restoring it over the next few years 👍🏻
Cracking video fiesta looks superb well done
Thank you pal!
Well done lads,
Cheers mate! 👍🏻
great memories m8! i loved my xr2!!👍
I’d love to own a xr2, loads of money now! 👍🏻
Really good vid Mitch. I miss the Retro Fiesta mods on the channel. Brilliant!
Glad you liked the video mate, more fiesta content to come soon! Mine needs a few bits 😎
Nice job mate .used to have a XR2 in that colour.. think it was called Paris blue.. 👍
Interesting to know, I do like this colour a lot! 👍🏻

Nice job lads
Thank you John! 👍🏻
Great video Great job looks cool 😎
Thank you mate!
Looks sick and those wheels are the best 💥💥💥
Cheers pal 👌🏻
Nice little mods
Awesome vid mitch!! 👌 😊
Cheers mate! 😎
A D reg Fiesta in decent nick. 86-87 Ford used poor steel
Class video for a rookie to watch this mitch! Better than a haynes😂
Nice choice of wheels!!
75’s scrape like a bitch on my mk1 😢
Haha glad you enjoyed bro! That’s such a shame, have you got new shocks too?
@@Mk2Mitch I have yeah! Ive never messed around with the stiffness of them though which could potentially make a difference
They're Mk1 SuperSport wheels, aren't they ?
Thought you may have gone for Pepper Pots.
They are Capri laser wheels. Very very similar but quarter the price 😁 he preferred these wheels, everyone’s got to be different!
supersport wheels, probably nicer than pepperpots, deffo rarer
These are Capri laser wheels, very similar to Supersport but quarter the price 😆
@@Mk2Mitch car will handle odd, wrong offset [been there with esc. mk2 sport wheels on my 1980 fester
mk1sierra wheels trims hard to find
Yes I believe your correct!
I’ve got a mK6 fiesta as I had a mk3 xr2i back in the day and I really like how the mK6 drives, it reminds me of them old times. I want to do some work on the mk 6 to bring up to a much better condition does anyone know a good supplier for parts. I need a replacement front bumper in black. BTW I really enjoy this Chanel.
Have you tried eBay mate?
Yeah. I need to take another look. Thanks for your reply.
Wheel trims are off a 1982/3 Sierra L 😂
Are they rare or worth anything?
How much for the steels if they are for sale with out trims cheers
I believe he has sold them now mate!
Hi I have the same wheels to go on my mk2 what size tyres were fitted
Hi, tyres fitted were 175/50/13 👍🏻
Thanks buddy
Does he wanna sell those steel wheels
Yes mate steels are for sale
Wheels look good, shame about the rest of it, those different coloured doors stand right out lol
As the owner, I think the old paintwork, slight rust and different colour door looks banging! Can’t all be a perfectionist!
@@Stu197 agreed. Cars got character. Love it
Great car but not a fan of the wheels … everyone’s different lol
Can’t all have the same wheels or that’d be boring 😆
