Thanks Danster76 and markey_g for the reply's!

Well I can say that i've been pretty busy the last couple of weeks!

I have finally decided to go full resto with the '3i....

The car is now located at an repair/bodyshop to get the welding done properly!
It wil be a shiny radiant red again with a clear coat to top it off!

I've collected enough bits to upgrade the interior and exterior and now i only need to take care of handling and power.

Have not got a lot of pics but here it goes!!

Here she is in the bodyshop, tucked away between others that need fixing.. ( yes thats an Audi Quattro behind her)



I made a nice agreement that I can visit the bodyshop when I want and I can do some of the work myself. I took most of the interior out to take it home and give it a good clean!

stripping of parts to remove the audio



carpet out:



Isolation mats are fucked and soaked....



all out:



nasty hole....



Got all of this done yesterday...

I almost forgot to mention that I bought myself a new daily driver... now offcourse I dont need to explain that it had to be a Fast Ford... i bet all of you understand... lol



Nice little Fiesta S... Over here its called the ''Sport'' , although i prefer the Zetec-S name... Previous owner had it striped, it has been properly serviced and driven so i was real quick when buying it... it will do for the time being!

Bought it just a day before i took the '3i to the shop, so just a quick one of the two together



And a mate of mine had a waaaaay better camera then I had so let him do his thing..



As I said, i took out the '3i's interior out yesterday and i got pretty late. This morning i went on unloading the fiesta's boot... wich was full off XR3i





My box full of audio.... woofer is definitely going now !



Box full of interior



Wanted to vacuum the carpet but the dog beat me to it... always nice a extra pair of hands... paws...whatever



You see I'm training the dog to recognize the Blue Oval!... its working!!!


So thats about it...
Really happy that i finally made the decision bout the resto... As there has not been any metal work done, i feel like i'm already at the point of no return. I am really confident bout it... hope i can get her done in time!

I'll be tryin to get a update up every week as i'll visit the bodyshop every Wednesday!

Tonight i'm going to pick up some more bits and pieces, try to get them posted asap.

Thanks for visiting and till next time!
