OK only a little update and hopefully some nice pictures later this evening! Yesterday I finished off welding the exhaust and now the fiesta is purring like a kitten (ish lol backbox has shat itself but that's how it's staying) also I put new pads up front and bled the brakes! All this went well but on the rounds I found the driver side rear handbrake wasn't locking on. Got it to lock with not much effort but then needed a hammer to release it! Took the caliper off and stripped it. Gave it all a clean on the inside, I wasn't too sure how the handbrake worked but after cleaning it up and refitting It I came to the conclusion that it was either adjusted incorrectly to begin with or the bar that runs into the caliper had corroded and seized but now at least I know I can strip and rebuild one of these caliper with ease in the future! It's now all working correctly 😎
So today, I have an abs light on so I'm gonna pull the wheels and give the sensors a clean, clean all the dirty wheel arches down with a power washer and give the car a good clean too as it's covered in iron filings from grinding and welding lol.
