Default Mk6 Fiesta Aquarius Blue Project - Up Spec

Hi everyone, had a few ford's but never made a project for any of them, had a Mk1 Focus TDCi and a Mk1 Focus 1.8 but they never saw the road, my first car on the road was a MK5 fiesta black edition, which was, nothing but problems!

After fixing most of the mk5s problems I decided to keep it for a while and make it nice as I could, so I set to about sorting out a rattle that was in the back, which I though was my door card...so stripped down the back, and found out it was rotten through, soaking wet, and basically a scrapper.

So I got looking and insurance basically restricted me to another 1.25 fiesta, so I found a mk6 for a decent price, that I knew wanted a bit of tlc, but that's what I enjoy doing.

Picked it up last night and so far love it, plans are:
Get a new front bumper
Cour code rear bumper
Convert to electric windows
Remote central locking
Backbox and other things, just fixing things at the moment

It's already lowered 60mm on a set of multispoke 17s (which I might swap for a set of scorpio cosworth)







Thanks for reading!

Looks good on them wheels. They just need to be silver instead of black.

Cheers mate! I quite like them black but they're all chipped and powdercoated green underneath from a previous owner so don't know what colour to do, had wondered about either white or anthracite, opinions?

White looks so good though haha!

Not bothering with the wheels til I've got all the problems sorted and got a new bumper on it, in the 5 days I've had it I've done just over 300 miles and it drives lovely, definitely needs clutch bled though but that's no biggie!
