i trying lol


anywho update, now i woulda probably got more done but ended up doing a load of housework this afternoon :wtf::wtf:

its probably at this moment i should also mention i plan to lob it together to get it MOT'd asap, hence using lots of bits off the estate as i know they are fine, once its mot'd i can start tarting it up ready for pv

first things first was i needed the struts, hubs and brakes off the estate, i also figured satin black wings would look better on the saloon than cream ones hence swapping them aswell.

with that done it was time to turn my attention to the back end as this is where all the work is, lots of work required on the boot floor, also needs the tank and pump fitting so up in the air it goes

ok admittedly it is a couple of tiny patches and surface rust so isnt bad for 21 year old car but still work that needs doing :(

mine was way worse than that but in the same places. yours look ok tho cant wate to see it at pv

thats nowt, i was looking at a 2003 fiesta today with serious chassis rot, and an astra mk4 with no rear arches. now hurry up and get it done haha!
