my fiesta turbo....... comps/refurb :D
As some of you may know i have a mk3 escort with a zetec turbo (currently waiting for cash injection and looking sorry for itself lol )
ive decided to buy thi in the mean time for something to do as im starting to do alot more myself and this required some work and sorting out.
Heres a few pics of bits done so far (not the greatest as taken in dark on phone in tight garage
)
p.s car has no boot nor bumpers atm as being sprayed along with brand new bonet)
back of car (minus boot, best pic i could get lol)
bit of rust on rear valence ground back and jenolite acid applied
couple of general pics
a few of few little bits ive done..... sorayed strut tops, inlet manifold, bonnet stay, welded holes over in slam panel and strted to smooth off
i shall try and keep the updates coming, hope you like

Cheers jonny, I've ordered up my pedal box yesterday off tony so may start some work on that again soon 
. As for fez I have no plans on selling it as half want another project to learn bodywork etc. Think I may attempt a new filler panel as not the greatest

i thought you meant i was selling the car to you lol. i think from the outside yours looks worse than mine , the prob im thinking is the inside, trying to make panel and keep the filler neck in exactly same place without having a quarter on to line it up to
cant stand rust danny lol, think im going to crack back on the escort today as pedal box is now here and ive mocked it all up ready to go in (cheers to nuts r us)
