This is my fiesta turbo shell i bought it a few months ago from cossiemark
these few pics were taken before i started any work on it.ill try and take sum pics of my work so far
when i get some light.
gave engine bay a quick clean.




may need to somthing with this.

and this lol.

[jayrs]

will be a challange mate, but thats what its all about.

the bit round the windscreen would be as hard to fix as you think, the outer skin can be removed and replaced.
and the scuttle, well you dont need to cut the whole thing off.

will be good to see this through the stages mate.

what plans do you have for it? standard looking, different kit? colour etc?

[zanderford]

i know theres a lot of work involved im going to try and get it rolling and take it to work.
ive got all the tools and stuff that i need there.
i think im going to go for the standard look with some nice black multispokes,
but ill see [ERRR] happens as i go along spent a little to much over xmas so
may take a while to get started on it again.
keep your eye on it though because indeed as much enthusiasm as i can get.



thanx for reading
zander.

[jonboisescort]
