Rebuilding my Fiesta XR2 '85 (on the Dyno)
Here are some pictures of my Fiesta XR2 mk2 from 1985!

painted the skirts
Yesterday i painted my skirts at my mates garage. First filled it up with a primer coating. To repair the dits and then painted them matt black.
On the photos they are still wet but they dry up nicely! Needs only a second layer of paint 8)
after some black paint
In the photo the paint looks a bit blurry but they dry up very well
