Default My FRST After Winter Restoration
Hey!

99% Finished my Fiesta RS Turbo today! Just in time for the new show season.

Paint was good last year but wanted it mega for this year and also wanted to ditch the lower spoiler. So spoke to my mate Julian from Chop Shop on Discovery channel and twisted his arm to sort it out and paint it for me! Anyway few pictures below - Just need to fit my new decal and ford badge on the rear.

How it started last year

Regret selling my 3dr wheels last year. But got good money for them!! Your fez looks awesome with them. Glad you ditched the morettes etc. Looks 10x better!! Paint job looks great. Threads like this isnt helping me with deciding the next stage of my fiesta lol

Got to agree they look better on a Fiesta than they do a Sierra

Also top mate to have in Julian
