oh and had a wee accident too.cut threw a fuel pipe at the pump not thinking it would be pressurised and it was.right in ma eyes!was some state trying to get to the kitchen to rinse them out.still burning just now but think am gona be ok :?

well got most of the rear end sanded down tonite.well more like wire brush attachment on drill.then i cleaned all the oil etc off with petrol soaked rag.looking so much better with just a clean.so arch was all rubbed down etc so i tho i would apply a coat of paint to see what itl come out like.bear in mind this is only first coat i think it speaks for itself and cant wait to see whole floor like this.also decided going for coilovers and mef rear parrellel arms etc.might aswell do it right while its all apart :) just wheel choice thats a nightmare.either rs soft spokes or black comp mo's :?:

It must be an Ayrshire thing cause she's down in Ayr at the moment with ma good friend Stevie (oldskoolfordsrule)
He's had it for a week or 2 now doing a lot of wee jobs on it as I ain't had the time and I'm also doing a tidy up on
my Fiesta too but he loves it :lol:

Thanks for the offer I may well pick your brains on the MEF arms and coilovers as I'm tempted to go down
the very same road along with a fairly big power ZVH which was meant for my Fez.

Thanks Derek

Looks to be in great condition. I know what a bugger is it to strip the underside of a car and repaint it, looks like you've been lucky with this one.
