I thot id start a seperate post seen as the last time aye put the pics of it in with my fiesta project so here goes a seperate throad for my wee work horse as am gawney be doing a few more mods to it in the next week or two heres how it started

When i got it ex securicor no door panels 2 diffirent front seats dash all paint aswell as inside one plastic window on drivers side and fuked up rusted bodywork













So new loom with central locking eclectric windows and so all the doors and igntion start from the one key aswell as a full new interior





















Then it was time to sort out the bodywork





















Then i lowerd it























Plus stone chiped it and waxed it





Then it got painted



















Then built back up















Then stickerd up
