Lil' Fiesta looks great ! The mirrors and exhaust were a nice yet subtle touch and the wheels look good. The higher front profile was definitely the way to go ! Someone will be very happy with this...
Love the Saxo in the background, i bought an identical VTR in red new in 1998, loved that car, first new car I bought as it was a better deal than a 2nd hand one!
I was having a similar conversation with someone recently...The deals Citroen had back in the day were just crazy by todays standards. Can you imagine dishing out free insurance to 18 year olds on the 'hot hatch' offerings today?!
amazing how nice that paint looked after you polished it, and the new tailpipe really did make it look much better. The Front tires being normal size will look far better. By the way Johnny, get some knee pads or a nice rubber pad for kneeling. Save them now and appreciate it later.
I had 3 of these bk in the day and they were good cars! I can't believe how good this one is - there is like 0 rust on it!! But you've done a really good job on it Johnny! Great solution to the steering coulomb - lovin that! Great job, good on ya!
Worked on these as a Ford apprentice seeing them come back.. Very popular they were.. Prone to rust issues but very reliable little cars. The ohv pushrod engines went well and could sett the tappets every 6 month and we're so quiet again. Great cars.. Loved them tbh
Back in 2021-2022 ish, I saw a fiesta with 33.000 miles on it for 3.000£ at dealership in Enfield (north London) I was literally ready to buy it there, but since it was 1999 it didn't qualify for the cursed ULEZ, I still semi-regret not buying it, especially since I moved out of London
Fantastic results - it really is a pleasure watching you work on these 90s classics Johnny. The extra effort and attention to detail you always put in, such as the exhaust tip and colour-coded mirrors, really takes it up a notch. What a great car this will be for someone.
Really interesting video,thank you,I think you’ve demonstrated how a lot of people jumped into camping without the future thought that one day they would want to travel abroad again but then be stuck with an asset that would devalue due to everyone else following suit,great time now though if you are looking by the sounds of things
Wow what a transformation. That polishing of the tired bodywork didn’t disappoint. 🕶 shades are optional but advised when looking at the car outside. Top work Johnny.

Really does look almost brand new with the paint colour correction, black bumpers & wheel refurb. Top notch again Johnny. Have to hand it to you, always enjoyable content in the vlogs, I learn things & like your thinking out of the box too. The XR2 mirrors are so much better than standard. I hope that it sells & if the new owner keeps it in the same condition it is now, then it will be a great little investment. Regarding the wheels if 14's likely to be off an XR3i,if they are 15's could be from a Sierra Sapphire. Look forward to the next vlog 👍🏻
Thanks a lot! Yes these are 14’s so it sounds as if they’re actually XR3i wheels. I like how their retro style matches the lines of the MK3 fiesta so well!
I think you made the correct choice to “up profile” the front tyres. They look better, but importantly, are probably closer to if not same as the original factory spec rolling diameter, which is an important consideration for speedo calibration and accuracy, especially in an age where everything is on camera. Another great video 👌🏻
The car does have underbody rust and welding. It is mentioned on the Aug 2022 MOT. Very rare if it had been rust free after 30 years, especially with the lack of rust protection they had in those days.
Looks really good 👍🏻 only thing i would do is wet flat the rear lights with 3000 wet n dry and machine polish them as they looked a bit dull next to the shiny paintwork.
Awww… my first car. Same colour too but mine was a Ghia. Mine ended in YOO but you used to see quite a few plates ending in POO, which I think was from Dagenham
Well done you certainly put the effort in, I have no doubt if the next owner keeps the car in the same condition as it leaves you, I really don't think they will ever lose money on this car and very possibly because older Fords are going up in value, they would probably make money. Good video Mate, I wish all dealers worked to your high standards.
@@assettrader1587 Thank you. I think this little cracker offers a sensible entry into the classic Ford world and, as you’ve said, I believe it’s got a good chance of increasing in value too!
@@LayKVRit’s all about the diameter, 14inch are lattice escort xr3i wheels, 15 inch are sierra sapphire cosworth wheels, it really is that simple, whatever diameter they are is what they are 👍

my 1994 Freestyle 1.1HCS has done just over 35k miles,apart from having issues with the idle control motor,its a lovely little car,which replaced my 1990 Metrol Clubman aftera write off rear end shunt.
A few people have mentioned this, i can only guess that the black mirrors were replacements after one or both of the colour coded mirrors were damaged previously (?)
Oh god you hit the spot with this one Johnny. I absolutely LOVE Fiesta cars. Used to own and drive 1 for 12 years and the damn little care broke down on me just once. I regret selling it.
Completely in love with this little car reminds me of the first car I brought thought I was collin mccrey and Damon hills love child bombing around in my 1.1 fiesta
Am more mechanical and paint work Using a mob to buff dull paint work up always scares me off a bit Either burning through or just taking paint off Different compounds of polish are like where would you begin May be next car you do just do a bit more detail on what’s good to use 😊
Great. Video as always:) really good when longer like that. Two things what is the produxt you use for polish/correction. And second thing get yourself some knee pads when your on floor dont want you damaging your knees:) look forward to next video
Regarding the tyre size, they should be 175/65/14s as standard, that keeps the rolling radius correct for the Speedo/mileometer Hope you fitted the right 1s Johnny??? Awesome clean up for sure 👌🏼
My first car was the same as this They are escort xr3i wheels iirc And the mirrors are pre facelift and being an m reg it should be a facelift and have the better mirrors
Great video once again Johnny... Is there a chance on what you used to restore the colour on there car in the description and what tools and stuff you have used on your video's please....
Thank you! I have updated the description to include some product links, but to answer your question specifically here i used two polishers; a Sealey rotary with a 150mm hex foam head (i used a medium/firm and a medium/soft here), and i also used an SPTA detail polisher with 25/50/80mm heads in varying firmnesses depending on the area. I used a 3M fast cut compound on first pass and a Meguiars ultimate compound on second pass for the cut stage, and then a hard shell polish applied by hand to seal the paint afterwards. I hope thats of some help!

Yes, I gave the engine bay a de-grease / clean up but there wasn't much to show for the purposes of this video but it came up very well for a 30 year old unit!
My friend wants a vts so much to the point he made me want one! Also i watched a video from the channel UpnDown named 20 years with saxo and that made me want it even more!
Do the MK3 clocks roll over when it hits 100,000 miles? This shows it's done 10k in the first 12 years. Not denying the mileage but funny how you always get low mile fords but vw of similar years are all over 100k (as their clocks don't roll over). Any pre 2005 MOT's?
Looks "riite proper Bo, yeah bast-____" lol A nice price for a really nice car,,,, i often think that you sell yourself short (unde priced). But this price for car sounds spot on well done
Proper Bo! Thanks for watching, I always try to price things as keenly as i can rather than get too greedy and generally i find a buyer relatively quickly so i'm hoping the same will be true for this little Fiesta!
A great suggestion and the thought did cross my mind however I don’t have a 3D printer and as far as I’m aware there isn’t a firm offering this service local to me so it’d mean sending off measurements online and waiting for a print to be made / delivered so in this case, the old school approach suited best!
I’ve got a real soft spot for the F91, it’s just one of those rare things in life that just does what it does so well, you can forgive how basic it is 😂
I haven’t seen any pre-2010’s Ford’s in a breakers yard around here for donkeys years! If you’ve got access to old Fiestas & Escorts in scrappers where you are, you should raid them and save as many parts as you can. These things are getting thin on the ground!
Maybe a fair comment actually. I’d imagine the majority of young drivers wouldn’t car for an old timer like this, but in my experience of the young people I meet at car shows etc, there is still a hardcore of them who appreciate the retro stuff (which is encouraging!)
Its never possible to say with 100% certainty, however all of the MOT history and service history i have with the car supports the mileage of 51k and the underside is so rust-free, i'm fairly confident that it's genuine. I can't image a 30 year old, 150k+ miles car being as rust free and straight / driving as well as this one.
@@Therapist_sells it’s been hard shell polished after the cut so it won’t fade again straight away. As long as the paint gets a polish probably once a month, it’ll remain in proper condition.
