Default Mk1 Fiesta 1300

Heard about this thing for sale local to me. It was advertised at a silly price so I went oto view it and ended up buying it. I knew it needed some mechanical work and body tidied up.

Cheers for the comments, The wheel changes I can explain the seven spokes were the first wheels on it I never got the revolutions with it I wasn't keen on them being rwd offset. Bought a rotten xr2 turbo with pots so put them on till I got the 4 spokes powder coated.
