cheers lads doors and all the bits got painted last night gonna try and get down there tonight to put it all back together

dont suppose anybody has got a spare fiesta boot solenoid?

starting to gather bits and pieces now ready for an underside resto

soon as the car comes back gonna be sending all the plastics to raj for flocking

and my interior to be trimmed

gonna have black leather with red leather centres

also found a set of opening rear windows last night in my garage

really fancy a black 6 point bolt in cage now to finish it off and maybe some light smoked windows

will get more pics once its all back together

Wow! that looks fresh wicked paint job looks fantastic, if you are going to paint your callipers go for gold that's what I've done to mine, if you wanna see a picture of mine go to the sticky thread where it says cossie brakes I'm on the 4 page with the Azev's.

Red has to have the biggest wow factor when it comes to fresh paint. Looks fantastic.
That is exactly how I'm getting mine done, same wheels and everything but I already have the gold calipers . Still need to save up a bit first, I have been quoted around the Ł1500 mark too.
