the arches didint look that bad before they started cutting away, so beware slight bubbling may well mean completeley rotten arches. depends on how far you want to go, the wing had to be replaced as it wasnt a FORD one and had been replaced at sometime, and wasnt that neat of a job so it had to come off. apart from that there was one small bit of rot starting on the drivers seat mount.

the one thing i will say is that this car was dripping in waxoyl everywhere when i bought it, the underside had been covered in it, so its done its job very well! if your thinking of doing your S1................think about buying any panels and spares you need know. Ford no longer stock some MK4 panels so my inners were pattern ones so MK3's will be rare. Id love an S1, theyre a top car. look after yours mate the values are going to soar, exactly as RS2000's have
