i only really come on this forum to see what people are doing to their cars and whats for sale, but i have a 1983 fiesta mk1 Quartz and decided to ruin a perfectly good resin mk2 model in an attempt to make a mk1 out of it

fully stripped


only 1500 made, mines number 761

i got the majority of the paint off by soaking in Dot5.1 halfrauds brake fluid, most things you would normally use for removing paint cant be used on this because the resin will melt and soften

Heres the real beginning, slicing into a model that often fetches £80


the plan is to leave the arches and side skirts on like the series x bodykit you can get... if you're lucky! then knock up some bumpers from plasticard along with a grille and when its complete i will sort out lighting for it... going to be a long project as i hardly get any time to get into the garden during the day and do the dusty stuff and the weather recently has been crap so nothing has been done for a week or so and im going to have to figure out a way to remove the white paint before i can do anything with filler

what do you think?
