Fantastic fab work throughout, my 69 Mk2 was restored/modified by me 20+ years ago. I remember trying to align doors/bonnet/wings for days! and they never came out as good as this! Yours is better than new, well done.

He had a few different colours in mind and settled on this colour scheme, The car may look a little understated but the idea was to create a factory look amongst other other things. I think when the car has its wheels fitted new interior and all the chrome back on it will look different again.

I've seen some of your work over on mk1-fiesta.co.uk on Karls motors.
Incredibly impressed every time but this just takes the biscuit mate
This has over taken the number 1 spot in my fave 3-door estates, ahead of the escort mk3/4.
Top job.
David.
