Now there's a blast from the past - i sold it to buy myself a classic then bought the STI.

The Fiesta was a little harsh every day. - My other half did loads of work to it - it was mint - the engine bay was all painted etc.

The bodywork was as you left it - just lots of TLC - the engine bay being painted when the engine was rebuilt - (Big end started knocking when racing my other half in his 172 cup!! - Oil surge on a roundabout !!)
The paint was suprisingly good when polished and waxed - I returned it all to standard (Looks Wise) 'cos i didn't like the "Modified" look !!

That is assuming you were the previous owner ?? Walsall area iirc ??

I would have done - but our other car is an Astra Diesel - not that nice !!


JP4 - I love 'em - I'd have another tomorrow - just not as my daily driver.
