Default My Mk2 Fiesta Ghia

As some of you might know,i have a Mk1 Fiesta which is my show car & as it's an original example i wanted another 'Old' Ford which i could modify & have abit of fun with.In August 2012 i picked up a tidy Mk4 Escort which i modified,but i really wanted a Mk2 Fiesta so in May 13 i managed to sell the Escort & sold almost all of my 1:18 model collection to put towards a Mk2.In early June i found a 1985 'B' Mk2 Fiesta 1.3 Ghia in Paris Blue,one elderly lady owner from new with under 4,000 miles .
It has a few minor little marks/tiny dents but so solid & rust free.
Heres a couple of pics the day i viewed it



As it is at the moment
13" Revolite RFX's-H&R -40mm springs Full Ashley System-XR2 steering wheel-90 spec Recaros.







Next jobs are to replace the bumpers/replace front window lower rubbers/new number plates/tidy up the paintwork/board out the rear

Thank's for the kind comments.Sadly there is no history apart from the DVLA m.o.t history check that goe's back to 2006.The lady went into a care home as she is 94 years old so she would of been in her mid sixties when bought the car new,hence the odd little scrapes on bodywork,the condition suggests the mileage is genuine,on the mot check year period 2006 to 2007 it covered just 40 miles i googled her address was a very nice area of London backing onto Primrose Hill Park.

Why have you folded the seats down

They weigh the same up, as they do down.
