Default Need ideas

Hey guys
to preserve my Racing Puma over the winter, and as a general run around, I have bought a focus estate. But being a modder at heart, I cant really bear to leave it standard. Does anyone have any cheap simple ideas? Estates are a tough one!

mk1, hate the indicators in the bumper. was looking at changing it to a mk2 bumper and light combo if i found a bumper in white from somewhere. Really want to keep things cheap as saving for a respray for the puma.

you could do a st170 replica estate, front bumper headlights grill, get some alloys, maybe lowerit, could be a bit different, wireing to lights i am told is different though so if you change the lights get some wireing with them and be prepared to do some soldering

have a look on the 'mk1 facelift' thread and get some ideas off that.

there are loads of mk1.5 on ebay, second hand or new unpainted, but TBH, if its white then you could do a pretty good job with rattle cans. waiting around for a specific colour could take ages, especially white and when you do get it its probably not up to standard. there are loads of facelift headlamps out there. ebay or a specialist ford scrappy.

cheers for that people. I was thinking along the ST route as it could be cheaper. I found a pic on google of a white estate with an RS kit. Looked good but maybe a bit too much effort!!
