when painting shell whats best to start with and what comes next ie stonechip, texture coat, want to end up with body colour underside, cheers

nice hairdo, choppers were ace

sorry about biffo pics forgot to change setting on photo bucket

sold this car a couple of years ago regret it now of course chances of anyone seeing it are proberbly slim as it went to lerwick on shetland isles, an arctic came to collect it with no means of getting it on the back! ended up driving to nearest grass banking reversing truck into it and putting planks of wood upto back of truck, got it on eventually, funny thing was it was a curtain trailer and the car was squeezed that tight in you could see the outline of the car in the curtain! it had been fully rebuilt by a mechanic friend of mine who i bought it off looked completely standard but had uprated suspension 1770 engine, heres a few pics _________________ old ones are the best!

nice fez like the colour scheme

smart daily smoker

cheers mate

found somebody to do all welding work at a fraction of the cost i got quoted, soz mate seats are staying in

got a rough idea of welding costs off a mobile welder 8 days 8 hours aday £35 an hour! thats that out the window almost shat a brick! did a bit more tonight heres some more pics

engine now out and rollover jig ordered! bits everywhere

got her running today after 8 years stood had to get a new fuel pump but it fired straight up, not ticking over but at least i know its ok. gonna take engine out next and strip what ever else is left

no mate its carribean blue fairly rare in that model i'm told, and i'm going to start a thread in projects and resto section when i get chance. making the most of striping it, took interior out tonight just 2 10p size holes on drivers side near accelerator pedal and near inner sill down side of drivers seat.

just bought one of the last made 1300s fiestas, it needs plenty of work as its been sat in a garage for the last 8 years with the engine striped as the head gasket went in 01. the interior is mint and unmarked it has full documented service history all the old mot's and tax discs, had one owner from new. before i start renovations i'm going to try get it running got a head gasket set today but they sent the wrong one! so i striped the front end needs front panel both wings and some patches on inner wings tidying up, rest of the car needs wheel arches maybe sills and not sure about floor yet till i've cleaned it back to bare metal. its a rare car and will take me ages to restore but it deserves it and will be worth it. heres a few pics as it is now

nice colour like the interior
