My FRST restoration - Page 2

rocky_robin · 13-12-2005, 01:42 PM

I feel for ya Greg!
It's scary whats lurking under so many tidy fiestas, like yours, to find that

Just to keep yer hopes up, this is what my chassis leg used to look like on my Fiesta in the garage (soon to be painted coz the rollcage arrived today!)

Jeezus christ

Greg, fair play to you, i cant wait to see the finnished article!!! Gotta agree with chop tho, sort them wheels out

RS_Rob · 21-12-2005, 01:19 AM

cracking pics, gives me faith in my fez lol

cant wait for more updates

Andy-R · 04-01-2006, 11:27 PM

Greg when you mentioned Rust I didnt realist the extent

To think how clean your car looked before it was stripped.

Good to see you sorting your baby out properly though

Looks like its in very good hands.

I look forward to more updates, pics etc and seing it back on the road soonish

GARY1978 · 05-01-2006, 06:17 AM

mate i know how u feel

im restoring my fiesta turbo but its not as bad as yours(im not mocking your car) my turbo only need two 1/4s two doors and a bootlid and then full repaint.
dont let her die
cant wait to see her finished

Scottish Greg · 05-01-2006, 06:11 PM

Davy ..... new wheels are in the pipeline

Andy ..... in good hands at the bodyshop

Gary ..... my FRST was an everyday car and has 154,00+ miles on the clock and the fact every winter the councils up here dump hundreds of tons of salt on our roads

Also, my wings only has wee bubbles around the side repeaters, my bonnet only had bubbling under the front lip and wasnt noticable, but if im going to all this effort no point having wee bits coming back and having to sort it out again

yeah probably a lot less work, but you try find an RS shell

Where would you find a RST or RS1800 shell, and who would sell them aren't they basic MK3 fiesta shells or are they slightly larger to accomodate different size engines etc?

Stitch · 09-01-2006, 07:53 PM

Cheers Mikee RS. Hats off to Scottish Greg though, fantastic know how and commitment, it just makes me wish I could do the same. I will one day. But my car being a ten year old motor, does makes me wonder whats under the body kit though.

The old tailgate is being used at the moment just for checking it all fits together, as the new tail gate has no glass and doesnt fit too well.

Got any pics of the join between the quarter panel and the C-pillar (going up to the roof), just out of interest?

Scottish Greg · 01-02-2006, 01:21 AM
