New From VA

Post by fiesta54 »

Hey guys! My name is Mike. I am 19 and this is my second car, my first being a 1980 Ford Fiesta. I just bought a 1975 124 with a carbbed 81 engine. I'm looking to make it into a not so accurate abarth replica. I'll likely just lower it, paint the trunk and hood black, put some wheel arches on it and find some abarth style wheels. Looking foward to it!

Cool, man. Where in Virginia are you? I spent a little time at Ft. Eustis on the peninsula. Loved it.

Hello and welcome.

First off we require all new members to post pics of their cars. So please post some up. Feel free to include that Fiesta, I had three of them. A '78 and two 80s, all of which I autocrossed for years. I loved mine, would that I could find one that isn't suffering excessive lightening due to salt dip...

Seriously, welcome. Keep us in the loop. Ask lots of questions, offer answers as you learn things and do please post up your project as you work on it.

All the best
