ok here goes:
At the end of 2015 I had a bit of an epiphany: my escort track car project is unlikely to be ready any time soon (thread to come and a lot more interesting than this, honest) and I had lost interest in my puma which meant if I am to get on a track in 2016 I would need another car.
On Christmas morning I placed a bid on a 4 door 2litre focus ghia which was local and ended up the winner or loser depending on your view, so a couple of days later I collected the car and booked it in for an m.o.t
The inspector found some small holes around the rear seat belt anchorage and inner wheel arch so over the next few days I removed the rear seats, trim and wheel arch splash guards and had a little poke around and what started as little holes became bigger and bigger and I also uncovered more holes in the rear of the sills
