oh right
i dont have any plasticard at the moment because everywhere i go they have sold out lol
someone must love the stuff

 

they do it on ebay

 

yeah just looking at that lol probs have to get some of there

 

RS JAMES, yeh get some of there, get some that u can cut with scissors so much easier, dont get some to thin tho mate.

 

was looking at 5mm stuff for Ł1.50 which seems good

 

seems bit thick mate, i use 2/3mm

 

ok thanks for the advice

 

thas ok mate

 

That's exactly what I meant

 

sorry i didnt understand it mate. u r defo right tho mate

 

what colour this beast goin mate?

 

not sure at the moment
have a choice of diamond white, glacier white, sierra cream, electric blue sort of color, graphite grey or capsicum red

 

diamond white or graphite grey, id do 1 of thos mate, just my opinion u may disagree

 

hmmm,i like the sound of electric blue but then i like white & graphite grey

 

i used to have a renault megane in capsicum red really nice color but not sure if it would suite
electric blue sounds nice but im going more classic on this car to suite the theme so i might go diamond white but too many decisions lol
another color could me mercury grey?

 

beige anyday on a mk1

 

i like the idea of beige as its a classic looking color and i think it would suite the mk1 with black sidestripes and black fiesta GL badge

 

or silver always looks fresh on a fiesta

 

good point that looks brilliant!
platinum silver is now added to the list lol

 

Any more news yet mate?

 

O yes.

 

more news later on

 

really sorry but cant seem to upload pics tonight
so i will have to just tell you
its all been sanded back still a few imperfections but looking good but then the front decided to fall off so now been milliputed on so should stay on this time lol

i gave the shell a coat of silver to see what it looks lie but now im going with white or creame as its more classical

and have begun to greate 1 light and it makes the whole rear end look more like a fiesta just by adding the light lol

thanks and pics will be up tommorow

 

remember the boot lid is lipped

 

i know thats the problem im having with the boot at the moment lol

 

keep working from pictures you have of the real thing mate and you will nail the boot problem before too long.
really like this idea and it's very original too!!
should look good when finished.
give dave a shout when you want the decals doing mate.
we might be able to help you out with the front grille and front lights too.

 

thanks
havent had chance to upload any pictures because my other computer wont load up so im having to use my laptop which doesent have any facilitys for loading pictures
hopefully getting the problm fixed soon

 

i use a bluetooth uploader.
get one there ace

 

i have one but my laptop doesent seem to want to work with it
went out and bought an autoart rotary car stand its mirror finnish aswell so you can see under the car

 

cool how much are they?

 

it cost me Ł17 brand new in box really nice finnish and it can be set to slow or fast rotation

 

rite figured out the boot problem
and pics will be on later of how its looking now

 

woop woop
cant wait.

 

did u get any pepper pots or u got some other wheels in mind?

 

were the pics mate, im bursting to c them

 

rite here we go as promised

this was it a few days ago when i sanded it a bit to see what point im at in the build.


and a day after

you can see the problem i was having with the boot lol it didnt look anything like the fiestas one because the lip was way too big

then i had the brilliant idea of using milliput i cut away more of the rear light mounting so it went further up (like the real fiestas one) then i built up the rear panel with milliput up to the line of where the much reduces boot lip will be (sorry about the bad picture)

then i decided that the fiesta needed a back box (still not finnished got to flat the end and drill a hole through the middle and sorry for the bad pic again)

and some finnishing pics for today



oh and its been sprayed in silver in some places to highlight defects (there are many )

 

looking great mate, u got any pics of it with the rear light in.

 

eerm havent got round to makeing the rear liughts yet i did make on but then i had to extend the rear so have to mae some more out of my spare lights

realised them pics are too dark so went and took some more will be up in a min

 

good good, them pics were not to bad but culd do with some more clear 1s

 

here we go







hope their better lol
