Fiesta RS Turbo Project update 16/7/14
I've finally pulled my finger out & started my turbo project!!!!!!
BIG POST COMING SOON !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
At last got the car in my workshop !!!!!!! *
It had a few stone chips on the front bumper & bonnet + a few dents hear & there. Everything that had a dent in it was going to be replaced
& sort the small rust spots out !!!!!!!! *
As you can see the battery tray is one of them !!
Started with the engine bay first !!
A bit of a mess!
Then the interior next !!
Sorted !!
As I took the body kit & bumper off I found a small crack in the bumper, then i found this rust spot !!
A new rear 1/4.
After calming down i took a trip to Fords & started to order lots of new parts !
New body kit & arches
New bonnet
New rear 1/4
New rear bumper
New late MK3 wing mirrors
New green mouldings for the hole car
New spare wheel carrier
New battery tray
I just replaced everythink that looked a bit ropey !!!!!!
Almost ready to go to the paint shop! *
Finally the car was transported to the paint shop, After putting the date back 3 weeks !!

Looks nice , not being picky but i would have used a late mk3 rear quarter with the fuel flap to give a better appearance and lessen the chance of rust reappearing. BUt it's your car and looks cool.
