2015 Fiesta ST Winter Beater

[PapaJim13]

Just picked up my first ST today, a 2015 with 212K on the clock. Original engine and transmission and for 2600 bucks I couldn’t say no. Came with a newer set of snow tires on steelies too. Has some front and hood damage and needs an exhaust but I have one lying around. Came with the recaros, Cobb tuner, whoosh intercooler and piping, intake, etc, so I think it’s a win.

I see your driver side fog light glass is shattered, I replaced mine when it happened with these bad boys... I keep them on yellow as the white is way brighter than my low beams lol

I’m a fan! Into the Amazon cart they go.

My right headlight housing is broken and my drivers probably isn’t much better, any cheap Chinese housings available or should I hit the junkyard?

I would caution against cheap headlights, I bought some from Amazon and the plastic was thin enough to bend and the adjusters were broken😤 either junk yards or opt for TYC/DEPO

Junkyard it is.

I’m trying to keep this thing well maintained but still trying to go as cheap possible.
