Hiya guys

Use to post on here quite a bit when I had my vet red mk1 vts but had to sell it after losing my job.

After this I started building a 2.0 Turbo fiesta mk5 zetec s which was going quite well but after a while I changed job and needed a car to get to work again.

So I brought this off the misses as it needed some work to get it though its mot its nixinoos old one.

So far to get it thought mot it needed.

New ball joints
Wish bones
Track rod ends
Steering rack gatior
New tyers all round

The list goes on.

Since having it IV done.

Morrettes
1.9 205 gtis in white
general tidy up

Future plans

Fit my new wheels
New beam
Ast coilovers
Poly bush all round
4 pots

Then engine wise not sure if to go 16v cammed etc and learn to drive the car or to go boosted 8v setup

Here's few pics how she stands atm

Well since fitting the morettes it bugged me that the bottom cornors still stick out. So after some advice I checked to see if the rear clips where still attached which they were not so I brought some new morettes to use as parts.

When transfring the lens over to the new backs one went back toghter how it should. But the other was giving me trouble it seems its a diffrent mold than the others and would not go toghter the same.

So I cut the bit I was missing of the new back and am going to bond/fiberglass it on.

Pics of progress so far.

What it should be like

Cut out section of new back screwed into place still needs tweeking then will fiberglass and bond it on. http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u140/sherbet2004/IMAG0132-1.jpg
