Thats looking well smart. Will the puma carpet fit? I know the puma and the fiesta have the same floor pan.

Welsh Animal

Yea they do. It gets rid of the nasty fiesta side plastics that run along the bottom by the doors too. Only trimming needed is where it meet's the rear bench

NobbyClark

Any updates on this Welsh?

Updates on my progress

Nearly at the point of putting her back together, just finishing the floor plan. Couldn't start it till it got a little warmer than -1℃ and had to find a generator to loan.

Anyway, pics

Said generator



Subframe off (after a bolt snaps Grrr), and it'll be cleaned up, polys added to the arb whilst at home



My floor, this is not as bad as it looks. 3 years of sitting outside has caused this.











Fuel lines off



Angle grinder time















Then these plus stone chip to be put on.



I managed to get the epoxy onto the areas I've got down to bare metal today. Once dry I'll be putting the stone chip over it all, then a top coat.

















Rear being stripped



First hole, whoops










Painted











Arches got same treatment





Front seam sealer



Then etch primer



Then stone guard





Front arb bushes came



Both front wings are in the final product, colour!









Floor had the rest of the stages as the epoxy takes a while to dry/harden

Etch grey Primer for the floor up to the fuel tank







Then in the white stone guard





Rest of the bay went into primer then Stone guard



Colour will be added to those areas tomorrow, and I'll see what else I can get done

Welsh Animal

Floor went into its final painting stage today, colour, woop!





Looks really fresh and I'm really happy how it came out too. Just gotta finish the rear arches and boot floor and she can come home to be put back together!!

Looking good

Nice job It's a big task done on the floor but worth the effort in the end
Keep the pics coming

Welsh Animal

Cheers!


Yea it really is. I'd rather do it properly than not do it at all. And after spending so much elsewhere, it was a bit of a guilt trip lol

Welsh Animal

More pics of the floor finished. Pretty happy with the outcome. Brake pipes, fuel pipes will be put on tomorrow, followed by the subframe, rear axle and she can be brought home to be put back together, woop.

Went to Ford for some bolts, got my pants pulled down

jonfoc

Brilliant work well done. You must be chuffed with your work?

Welsh Animal

Thanks!

I wouldn't say chuffed as I'm quite picky but I am happy. I don't just "settle" for things lol. I'm shocked at my determination and what I've learnt, as I'm not a qualified mechanic or anything so at this stage I'm having to read up about a lot of things and learn how to do it. Glad to see these long awaited plans happen!

Welsh Animal

Interior collected Friday night. The guy has done a perfect job with the seats. They are absolutely spot on! Not going to upload a picture of them anywhere until they're in the car. But here's a tiny preview with the steering wheel.
