To buy and build build a car to my spec you'd be looking at close to 10k, if not a little more. To buy one already built, if it was 100% mint and had an interior, you probably wouldn't pay more than six.

Corsa LETs are cheaper but the Fiesta handles better than the Corsa.

Think of the Zetec S like the Corsa GSi, put a Duratec in it and it's like a C20XE, but with a lot more scope for tuning. I wouldn't put a Focus RS engine in mine if I was doing it now, I'd do a Duratec with a supercharger

But that would be the same as any other car, an engine that isnt supposed to be in that car will make it behave differently, set up right though it could be handling.

So how much would you sell yours for Robin, is that the plan or are you keeping it?

At the moment, it'd be worth about 3.5-4 grand as it's not finished, even finished, it'll only really be useful as a track car (unless you're quite hardcore) so I'd be lucky to get £5k.

Needs mapping, lowering properly and some general tidying on the bodywork.

Then I'd have to find someone who wanted a stripped out Fiesta mk5 with a lot of power. It's not exactly a massive market
