Clark i would have thought you would like it to be red being a gunners fan and all that!

white is more of a spurs colour

jay paint it red and put arsenal stickers everywhere.

fiesta door pins, the vain of many peoples lives when working on a fiesta









new sill is not fitted, its just clamped there for ref in the pic

[knuckles]

OMG !

You said you only took the door off earlier!

looks like you went ape s**t with an angle grinder

[Ratspeed]

that cardboard door looks s**t. i prefered the old one

[jayrs]

OMG !

You said you only took the door off earlier!

looks like you went ape s**t with an angle grinder

lol, i took the door off to get to the sill mate.
no angle grinders were used to remove the sill fella.

that cardboard door looks s**t. i prefered the old one

f**k all wrong with that door, its lightness

look close and you will see a drawn on handle and lock

[hb69]

Good progress Nice to see its getting restored

[knuckles]

More pictures of the Rs
Lots of problem areas that jay is having to tackle







Rear panel - hopefully going to replace the bottom edge which was trimmed back



2nd rear aerial installed back in the day - i guess for a in car phone - Being removed and hole welded up


This is the one i was dreading most - jay enjoyed prodded this i can tell !
this has already had a repair once before i bought the car.

[jayrs]

never had all this problem with a my red one


so far though it seems alright, the shell is so far nice and sound with just surface rust, the sill was thin in places, i.e where you would jack it up, but thats common anyway

[Excursion]

Good, fast work so far

Are you replacing the O/S quarter?

[knuckles]

the o/s is seeing a wheel arch repair panel

[jayrs]

Good, fast work so far

Are you replacing the O/S quarter?

yeah just the arch repair, and a inner arch lip, rest of the panel is fine.
the bottom of it will be replaced too, the back end of the sill, as the gen ford one doesnt go all the way to the back

[hb69]

Whens the eta for completion? You working on it daily Jay, or is it going to be like your red one?
