K20 MK7 FIESTA
There are many, many approaches to building a project car. More often than not, it ends up being a long, drawn-out process of refinement, engineering and re-engineering, testing, fiddling, swearing, all in the dogged pursuit of getting the damn thing right. These builds evolve over time and seldom end up resembling the initial vision that their donor cars conjure up, but there’s still generally an overarching aesthetic and mechanical goal that pushes the project on.
Sometimes, however, the genesis of the concept is as simple as looking at the car one night and thinking: I wonder what would happen if I try this? And that’s precisely how Daniel Farmer came up with the idea of dropping a Honda engine under the bonnet of his Mk7 Fiesta. He never planned for it all to turn out this way, although it’s very entertaining that this is how it’s panned out.
