Default MK6 Fiesta Zetec S

So I recently got a Fiesta Zetec S for an unbelievable deal. Has a few problems, the main one being that it is in need of a respray, which isn't a major concern seeing as my dad is a paint sprayer and I'll be doing any body work.

The night I picked it up

Anyway, today I started on cleaning it up a little bit, starting with removing the bubbled up tints on the windows, removed all of the tape that was holding the rear number plate on and cleaned the exhaust

Plans are to respray it, will probably keep it black although I am considering white. Also get some new number plates, some new alloys, lower by around 40mm and take all of the stickers off. I'll also be colour coding any plastic trim or doing it gloss black, depending on what colour I get it resprayed.

One thing that is a problem is that it crunches when it goes into second gear. A new clutch was fitted in January apparently so if anyone has any ideas on how to fix it, let me know.
