Anybody Know of Any Ford Fiesta (1978-'80) Parts For Sale?

Haven't yet - I thought that I'd try & ask around first,
in case anyone had parts laying around that they'd sell for
a reasonable price (or give away).
I haven't bought it yet,but found a 1980 Sport model
in good shape,& only made a reasonably affordable offer
to save it from going to the crusher.It's a roller,but almost
complete,with no rust.
Still looking over ideas on what to do about an engine.

Time for an LS swap.
 
Chuck Beck used a Festiva, but you could use the Fiesta to do a mid engine Shogun style build with the Ford SHO/Yamaha V6.
 

The one I'm planning to buy is a MKI Fiesta.I did some research,& it seems that you
have to move the engine forward.I'm still considering that option.
I had a MKI Ghia that had every option on it,& had a 1700 (started as a stock 1600)
that had about 125 HP,using a pair of 40 Webers.Fast car!
 
They were a great fun car here in the uk. Highly modifiable
Most mk2 bits will fit.
I did one for my sons first car put the mk 2 dash seats wheel arch spats from the xr2 and bumpers the rears will fit front and back with a little modification.
 
I still have our 1980 Fiesta but the engine sitting in it is too radical to pass smog, which is why you moved out of California? When I finally finish the Morris Traveller I’m going to swap back to a stock cam and see if it will pass… in the meantime I need some parts too. It’s missing the alternator and has a broken inside drivers door handle, etc.
 
I might be interested in the performance parts.We don't have
to smog anything in this part of Virginia.
It's tempting to pick up a cool car from California that won't
pass smog.I just need more money,& a place to put more cars!
 
Don't forget ebay.co.UK my favorite, as shipping not much worse than here and very surprising on what is available, Same eBay protection.
 
Went & looked at it again & took some pictures.Lots of
interesting parts,including a pair of Mikuni's (40's?) on a manifold,
& a lot of engine parts,but no block or head.

Might look at the online ads of Grassroots Motorsports in the racing ads.
