Default Fiesta rs turbo.

Evening all. I was going to sell the Fiesta due to having to many cars plotted about the place and the fact I never really use it, but in the end it's going to stay with me.
Looking to have it all sorted by the middle of next year. I'm not going all minty and original but a well built fastroad/track car to have some fun with.
I got started today and got from this,

To this,



Took about 4 hours.
As you can see the engine bay is quite clean with little bit of surface rust dotted about the place. Most of the front end will be getting seam welded and some supports gusset along with a welded strut brace.
Going to be making up a rollcage but I doubt it will be a full one more likely just a half cage in the back to stiffen things up a little. Everything I can will be stripped out the inside and the dash cut down and flocked. Still going to be keeping the front elec windows but might replace the rears with the polycarbonate type.
Will update when I next get some work done on it and some new bits come via the post man.
Thanks Mark
