Default Muz's RS1800. Project £100 Bargin car. Lets see what its hiding...

Finally got the old girl upto the barn to ahve a good look at her and I'm very very happy.... but also a little confused :-?


Floors have NEVER been welded!
Drivers



Passengers

Scabby bits
Passenger front wing corner

Driver rear wing corner

Front panel is good. All my Fiestas, about 6 lol have had rust here but not his one.

Engine

Got power stearing and the manifold is a HO stamped item.
No rust here too

Boot

love box had everything you need, cutlery, fags, suringe

Now the confusing bit.
Its got a fuel filler cap, not a flap

Rust on inside, but its never had a filler panel :-?

Its also got MK3.5 doors, the MK3.5 revised floor pan and the floors all stamped etc all chassis numbers match so its deffo a MK3.5 shell...... with a filler cap. :-?
And in Fiesta corner

It is a bit strange. Doesn't look like it had a whole quater replaced either.

Plans are to fit these that are in my shed;
* Pop out rears
* 150MPH FRST dials
* FRST boot spoiler
* front and rear strut braces
* Standard exhaust system

And wanting to fit if I can find them
* FRST bonnet,
* FRST wheels
* Green stripes
* 2.0 Zetec engine.
* Then re paint it up the barn with a new filler repair panel.

Then use it as a winter car/ runabout so I dont have to take the Escort around so much.

I can keep it all back for you if you want it as I've had a few people asking for seperate parts but I dont really want to split any of it

Got a set of smoked rear lights for sale as well that would suit the Fiesta
