Default FRST Easter Repaint
Ryan's Fiesta was in need of freshening up so we decided to give it a respray over easter weekend. We've actually managed to do it in three days. Just thought i'd share the pics/progress.

Here it was before:




Heres a couple of pics of the problems:




Plus there were little dents and bit of rust around it. Ryan had also started to repair the bonnet. It looked like this when we got it to work:



A few pictures during stripping and repairing:







As you can see we had our work cut out. Still we were confident we could manage it.
As he's planning on running wide wheels in the future, we decided that rather than put new panels in we'd cut out the rot and weld them up so there would be clearance for the wheels.







After a long day the car looked like this:




Primer:





Forgot my camera on saturday but was only prep and paint anyway









Sunday was just building it up










Only needs a bit of polishing here and there, then a good clean up and some decent pictures.

Haha no worrys

The guy who I bought it off did a terrible job on the paint loads of bits just peeling off, deep scratches, faded paint, over spray etc

Looks great from a distance though,lol

Anyway as said youve done a great job
