Re: restoration
Iv got a rough idea anyway. I'm thinking the rs electric white or I might do it a dark candy purple yet don't know.
White leathers or black with white piping, probably keep same wheels. Original front bumper with mcr splitter probably take spots out. Smoothed boot. Dehandle it and locks. And 2.1zvh. Plus loads of other stuff. That's where I want it so I can take it back to standard easy wen I wish to.

Enough just needed couple hand to keep little bits in place.

Re: fiesta rs turbo restoration
Not really been up to much since last update.
Have been spending quite a few days on the car trying to get it started as it turned out my immobilizer had given up n BB switch died to so had them rewired and now all working fine.
Did couple finishing bits on rear quarter and n/s wing and boot just need to finish it off so only couple pics for now.
Put one up off the boot later

Re: fiesta rs turbo restoration
Yeah it feels good now wen I go their and work on it now all the welding is out the way I feel it's more of a car not a bucket haha
Yeah an axe!! The marks are where they tried to pop the window with screw driver twice but were obviously to weak. So they put an axe through the window. Wen I ran out with couple of feet of scaffold bar they were jumping in a crap Astra and drove off. Wen I looked at my car their was a perfect shap of an axe with handle and the head through my tinted window haha
Wot they wer doing with it in first place I don't know.
