Default fiesta rs turbo rust box getting lots of love / resto

my wife always wanted a turbo i found a j reg turbo going cheep because at one point the nearside front wheel come off and damaged the wing
this is a pick of it just after i got it


mot and tax run out in november so it was time to do it up
old wing

new wing fitted


removed all the body kit and what was found RUST






we are going to replace the other wing offside rear quorter and the nearside rear arch
also carry out some mods


this is how we left it to day i will get all the parts on order 2 mo
