Default Fiesta RS1800 resto

My rs1800 fiesta restoration previously started by my dad (Dakar) who passed away in 2018. I will be posting pics of the progress i am making. My dad already began by stripping the car down and doing some welding and restored the rear underside

Sorry to hear of your loss.
I think that's great that your carrying on with the project your dad started!

I really really like the rs1800, was looking at getting one a few years ago but couldn't find one that was any good for sensible money!

Looks like your doing a good job, what are your plans? Are going to get it back to factory spec?

Currently trying to sort a welder to begin welding everything that needs doing, this is the rear underside my dad did using mipa stonechip and painting over it. I’m going to do the same on the front section underneath

You could eat your dinner off that! Looks like a nice project you have there.
