The new runaround: 1993 RS1800
Picked this up today:
(btw I'm not sure wtf is going on with the pics - that's meant to be a 5.0 MP Sony Ericsson camera phone, I suspect my greasiness has done for the fidelity of the CCD...)
The first place I took it, to let it meet some other fiestas.
We had to check the structural support properties of the lacquer, naturally. Hi James!
It's not perfect, but I didn't pay perfect-car money for it. It's got a few bits need doing to it but it should make a good runaround. It's quite fun to drive.

LOL! Nice car park there
Good work matey, shame about the ferous oxide 2i on sat
Once the niggles are sorted and minor cosmetic alterations, you'll have a niiiice run around
Best of luck with it all etc...

Re: The new runaround: 1993 RS1800
I suppose this sort of a purchase should have been anticipated, And now after 5100 posts you can finally answer a fiesta ownership question!
good stuff!

There's a post up in general mate - driveshaft popped out (sorted now) and it needs a few bits (nothing major) for the MOT.
Watch this (or that post in general) space.
