Just got my mates fiesta out of its hiding place (outside) for 2 years. Jump pack and a few pumps of the throttle and 20 seconds of turning over it fired up! Its in a sorry state and we started a little bit of a strip down today. If anyone could point us in the direction of a pair of front wings and a front panel would be much appreciated!!

 

that's a lovely one! good idea helping your friend with this...

sorry can't help you out with the front wings and panels.
just subscribed to see more pics and learn a bit more from you too...

 

We had a bit of a poke about and the front ends quite rotten. We're going to start the strip down to bare shell next Thursday.

 

Some of today's progress of about 20 minutes work so far

 

More from an hour later

 

 

 

 

Wicked work ..can't wait to see the progress .

 

Thanks mate. It's a hell of a lot rougher than first thought, we've just put the kettle on and rolled a couple of fags to discuss the next move lol! Problem is these mk1 fiestas are so hard to get panels for and we'll prob have to make most of them ourselves which is a total ball ache

 

Keep the updates coming

 

I love a MK1 Fez

What's the plans mate? Big resto or just get it mobile again and useable?

Makes me want to crack on with my MK1

 

These things are sent to try us ..good to see another one bring saved .

 

We've been on the internet a fair bit mainly eBay and we've found all the panels we need new old stock. My mate who owns the car got a price today to have it dipped, £900 plus vat! Don't think we'll be doing that lol.

 

Excellent news mate ..panels will make it .

 

We've managed to find inner and outer from wings and new rear quarter panels. Not cheap mind! At least £110 for each panel. I used to remember back in the day picking up mint mk1 fiestas for £50 with some mot lol. I bought my first mk1 xr2 for £70

 

I paid £50 for a mk2 xr2, and found a tenner in change when I stripped it!

 

lol I remember those days. I also bought 2 mk1 xr2s to build one good one out the other for a teenth of weed lol. Had a white mk1 fiesta supersport given to me for free as they owner had lost the keys, it was like new condition, we cut the roof off and took the doors and boot and bonnet off, wrote "knob jockey jeep" down the sides and got the local nutcase to drive it around town

 

My friend has put it on eBay as now working a lot of hours
