WIP project mk1 fiesta
hi all
sorry about the delay for the pictures
i have started project mk1 fiesta today and got as far as converting the back but its still not finished as need to make the spacing right between the lights and the reg plate
anyways heres the pics so far
how i started out with all of the marks i needed to cut
other body shell ready incase i get it wrong lol
and the end cut off
bodyshell without back end and a little cut out underneath the pillars
added the end again to see what it would look like
and placed the boot on to show how much was cut off
then back stuck on with 2 part epoxy resin
and filler applyed
and sanded
inside looking origional
and 2nd layer of filler applyed
and sanded
and top view over the boot
then in primer so i can see any imperfections it has
let me know what you think and as i say its not finished yet
