'80 Fiesta

[Fletch]

This is my 1980 mk1 fiesta 1.1L, 34k genuine miles, solar gold (needs respray = on to do list)

 

plans are to:

lower it around 50mm maybe a little more, ill be using Rallydesign Fiesta Front and RD ERST rears and have Mk2 XR2 Front dampers

Also Fully polybushed

 

Respray Solar Gold along with a mk1 hatch (got a mk2 on at the moment)

 

fit 5 speed mk2 Gearbox

 

Now the big question???

im going to fit Rs 4 spokes with either 175 50 13 or 175 60 13 bepending on funds, however im unsure how to paint them?

please answer the poll attached to this topic. TY

i did,

however as it will be in daily use including the winter i went with what will look good and not need cleaning every day

yeh got one however its been in a acident at somepoint in its life and is bent in on drivers side corner. so it not shut flush and the latch dosent work as a result of this. basically its held down witha tie wrap untill i can source another one in good condition.

 

its my own fault as i should of checked when buying it but even when it was being painted you couldnt tell untill we lined it up on the car and then it stuck out like a sore thumb

Black won't need cleaning every day Have you never owned a black car? They need cleaning almost from the minute you've finished cleaning it. I love my black daily but it's a ball ache to keep looking good.
