Re: The Recaro Fiesta - restore starts
went up scrapy today to take some old metal up there and get a door gard for the wifes galaxy and decided i would chop a turret out a fiesta for clarks motor, on inspecting the boot lid i found it to be nice and solid with no rust, so gave clarky boy a call to see if he wanted it, and he did, so got it.
its a mk3 one with the swage lines which is what he wanted, good times.
pockets were full again on the way out too
anyway, pics of the bits, saves clark posting them up which i know he would
boot lid and turret cam from the same fiesta the other bit of the quarter was chopped out off, which mad it a bit eaiser for me
thats me old man
