My Fiesta
Right i was wanting one of thease ages ago, but i got the scort and went off the idea of a mk4 but due to funds was hard to get it ready and with it getting vandalised, i thought time for a new car,
was in work tursday last week and some guy came in and part ex'd his mk4 fiesta, and my boss asked would i want it as he knows i like fords, so i had a look round it and took it for a little ride
drove great steerd great (no powersteering btw
) No electric winds, no centrel locking, Had a think and thought, Yeah ill have her, How much,
Was abit out of my budget but i thought Why not , boss also gave me discount
and he took it home to see how it drove, drove fantastic 
had to wait for my wages to clear then i got the money went up payed for the car got all the paperwork, got her home and started getting it back to good cond
it looked like this
Had to get rid of the cheap wheeltrims so took the Escort cl ones outa the shead and they fitted nicely.
A set of Corsa C side indicaters ghia front grill front fogs (not fitted yet)and MK5 Fiesta rear badge
and after that a good polish
Extreamly happy with the shine!
It got rid of most of the swirl marks to

Hi mate, what did you pay for it, 300 notes??
Looks a tidy little bus to get started with. I would get some t-cut and one panel at a time polish the shit out of it. The faded area's will come back like new if your determined enough.
Then give it a good polish, should feel silky smooth rather than gritty as you polish, you know your t-cutted hard enough then.
Get some autoglym plastic trim restorer gel for the bumpers rather than back to black, will last longer and look better.
Get some spray cans and have a practice on some scrap part, you'll soon be confident enought to tackle some of the scabby bits.
You can colour coded the mirrors aswell
Good little cars the, keep it clean and you'll get your money back

cant wait to get it done and get it back almost mint

Car looks alright tbh, not something I'd go for but they're not bad cars (and basically the same as mine so I'd better shut up! )
Needs a good polish tho, as it's still pink and most of the panel colours don't match!
