Default My first Project Mk5 Zetec-S RoadRally car [Pic Heavy]
Hey guys been a signed up to this forum for a few months now and thought id share my little Fiesta Project with you all the plan was to get it prepared for Road Rally and take part once car is completed.
i bought this car last October so had the car a year this month its a slow project but have been chipping away at it for the last year, so please bare with me as i have a lot to upload
This is the car the day after i picked it up, it was a mega bargin at £400 it had no MOT and Tax and was a little rough on the ouside with the usual Mk5 rust patches but other than that a good runner on 90k.
