I would've bought a Fiesta ST fire sale in a heart beat when Ford stopped US production...they were a steal:like:

I'm personally a big fan of small displacement giant killers...
Here's two I still have in my garage...a 1.6L 245whp Mini and a 2.0L 355whp Cobalt:)

And my biggest selling regret...my first new car, 1986 Honda CRX Si Turbo Mugen...320whp...in 1991, no one knew WTF this was flying around..this was taken inside Ford's Design dome on the turn table :):crying:

Been missing my Fiesta ST lately, what a blast of a little car. I have a very soft spot for the CRX's as well.

With something bright enough, like a spot style light, I'm sure you could get plenty of useful light out from behind the grille. The holes in the honeycomb pattern on this XLT grille are pretty big. I mounted my smaller "fog" style lights in front of the grille. I like the look of it better this way, gives it a bit more distinctive look that I like.

I know there a couple people on here who have mounted the light bar style behind the grille.

Would be nice if “Lightforce” from Australia would make this available for US spec rangers....

I made my own... used existing threaded bolt holes to mount the 90 degree brackets.

Hey mate, I'm looking to do this same setup. Was the bar you attached your light to already on the ranger front end or did you add that manually?

I bought a 1978 Fiesta with a 1.6L Kent engine. Put an uprated Formula Ford head, two DCOE 40 sidedraft Webers with a AN88 Isky grind on a cam I had for my Pinto Racecar. Custom Header and flow through muffler.... Mounting Webers was a challenge but tuning them was a snap with all my Weber parts. What a little rocket.... My daily driver but Michigan road salt claimed it and by that time I sold off the Pinto Race car for the Super Vee and dropped a stock motor back into the car and sold it. Then of all things, one of my engineers, Bill L. bought an old orange Fiesta rust bucket.... My old car...

Best,
Phil
