I was expecting the worst, but that actually looks really smart as it is!

Don't get me wrong were not eating beans on toast every night and sleeping in sacks lol. Just don't have disposable income that's all. But as and when I've got a couple of extra quid and the family are sorted it goes on the car but very rarely these days. When little one gets older then can spend a few more quid on it again maybe and get respray done then. Out of interest what does anyone think it's worth now if I was to sell it? Not that I would but just out of interest. I've got it insured to ÂŁ10k so at least I'm well covered. It's prob worth more in bits

Hi mate no there was another citrine yellow one about that had black wheels on it but was 2wd, I have a few photos of it on my laptop, I'll try and get them at some point, seem to remember us having a conversation about it on passion ford some years ago when the picture surfaced back then. The bloke who owned it came up to me at Rs Combe and was having a chat about it but said it got scrapped in the end :-( looks like mine may be the only one left in citrine yellow then unless I very much dought someone will paint another one, perhaps I should just get a blowover done on mine at some point to tidy it up

I frigging love it in that colour and if was mine I'd fix up whatever is needed and run as is.
What actually NEEDS doing? Does it have an mot? And not a dodgy one

That looks cracking mate, no way would I want to spoil that. One of our managers had a Mondeo in that colour in the early to mid nineties, it was a colour you either loved or hated, I was one that loved it.

Takes me right back to the 90 s love that colour don't touch it is enjoy it just as it is proper oldskool back in the days when we weren't as precious about these cars way before everyone got greedy pushed up the prices and ruined the whole scene. Ahh those were the days!

I quite like it in yellow. Not that anyone's opinion on here really counts as its your car lol. However, if you are skint then put it away in your garage and leave it until you can afford to do whatever you want to it. Or break it and make loads of money and buy a sensible family car

Lol no believe it or not the last mot I had to get a work colleague to mot it as we weren't allowed to mot our own cars. It's got 64,000 genuine miles from new and never ever been welded, I've waxoyled it the last 9 years I've owned it. It just needs a load of bodywork doing like dents and bits of missing paint here and there. The paint job is really poor and one of the wings and one rear quarter have faded badly

When you say poor paintwork, was it just a crap spray job or is it just a bit faded and or scratched and maybe a couple of days with a machine polisher could freshen it up?
I guess that makes sense that you can't mot your own car, I can't imagine folk ever wanting to fail their own vehicles...
Someone else on this thread said this was a ford colour? I didn't know that, did they put it on cars from factory? I only ever remember the colour from the car cruises I went to.

I love it in this colour
I see some pics one of your mates put on Facebook the other day. A couple of the panels looked a bit faded but the car looked tidy still though
could you not give it a respray in the yellow as it'd be a lot cheaper to do than chan ging the colour
