OK,

I picked up this shell yesterday from macturbo. https://passionford.com/forum/restorations-rebuilds-and-projects/263197-fiesta-rs-turbo-update-24-10-08-a.html
https://passionford.com/forum/showth ... p?t=272373 which I'm going to start restoring as soon as I can. It needs a lot of work (front floor pans, sills, chassis leg and bulk head) but I am in no hurry so however long it takes it wont really matter. Once the shell has been sorted and painted I'm going to re-shell my existing FRST. I figured out it would be alot cheaper and quicker to get another shell than to strip my existing FRST with an added bonus that I wont have to rush. I want to achieve a fully restored genuine FRST which will have been done to my spec. (MK5 Zetec S dash door cards and rear cards, MK5 tail gate and spoiler, Audi handles on the doors, power steering etc
I am undecided on what colour would suit the Fiesta. I'm thinking
either the original Red, a metalic red or black or the Cosworth Pacifica Blue. Any opinions?

I also feel that with the 17" rims I am running on my existing FRST and the deep front MCR spoiler and laguna splitter some sort of deeper side skirt would be needed as to me the original ones just dont seem quite right. Again, any opinions?
This is my current FRST but with standards lights now fitted and the bonnet spacers removed.

Does it need deeper side skirts? Something like these with matching arches (not the bumper)?




Finally, as mentioned its going to need some replacement panels. Where's best to get them from and are 'copies' ok to use or are genuine ones better?

Any help will be appeciated.
