Never done a build thread before so thought I'd start one. After a previous post some of you may have seen I was toying with selling the fiesta to fund a focus rs. I've decided to stick with the fiesta (better the devil you know than the devil you don't) and track some progress on here. Luckily it's a relatively clean shell for a 29 year old car so I don't think there's going to be many rust issues.
i do have some bubbles starting to form under the paint in a couple places but hoping there pretty superficial. I've contacted a body shop local to me to price up a respray and do a few other bits I want doing. Now I've been thinking about colours too. Originally mercury grey which is what I wanted when looking for one, opinions please? Do I go mercury again, mercury with some metal flake or go for a different grey, thinking either stealth grey or Skoda quartz grey... My head is saying be sensible and stay mercury but the rebel in me wants to do something else....
anyway, rear bumper removed firstly which I was dreading incase the rear lower panel was riddled only to be pleasantly surprised.

not sure what's going on O/S but I imagine it's had am arch at some point. No welding repairs from what I can see though...
Waiting to hear back from the body shop so will update as and when...
