DAMSK11's Mk6 Fiesta Zetec S Build - SOLD. New Car. - Saxperience

DAMSK11 · 22nd March 2014, 10:57

So after owning the Saxo for like 2 years I decided to get something a little faster and better. So I went and bought a 2007 Fiesta Zetec S.
It looks a little worse for wear at the moment, paint is bad on pretty much every panel and would benifit from some new wheels but other than that it seems fine.

Crappy iphone pics are all I have so far.

Plans are to sort the body work out, smooth the key hole on the tailgate, colour code handles, moldings etc. and then lower it with some new wheels.

Love this shape, petrol or diesel?

A mate of mine put a lock blank on his ST, colour coded, looked decent enough, loads cheaper than smoothing.

Petrol mate. I'm going to colour code and smooth a few things but I do them myself so cost isn't really much of an issue

Got some pictures with my camera in the day light yesterday. Really shows how bad the body work is at current

I hope so.

Took the tint off the windows today which made the car look a lot better. Also gave the exhaust a good clean to get rid of the black filth on it.

Progress is small at the moment but should be getting a respray some time within the next month hopefully. Then I'll find some new wheels for it

Pulled off the drivers headlight today to find out why my lights are playing up.... Found this..

The wires seem to have been replaced with bits of welding wire and taped up. Worst part is that we found a receipt for this 'work' and found out they charged over 200 for it....

Primed my fog light surrounds today. Going to be spraying them black tomorrow. I also smoked my side repeaters.

As it stands now, it hurts my eyes

sorry mate..

Sure it could be made to look decent though

DAMSK11 · 28th March 2014, 00:28

Took the stickers off the windscreen today and fitted the smoked side repeaters. Also sprayed the fog surrounds black and they'll be fitted tomorrow.

martin1985 · 28th March 2014, 17:53

needs lowered!....i am sure you will make it look nice mate

DAMSK11 · 28th March 2014, 20:01

Fitted the black fog surrounds today and plastic welded the crack on the back bumper, which had been repaired badly before.

I will also be colour coding the panel where the fog sits

Cleaned up the wiring for the sub today. Previous owner had the cables running all over the carpets which looked a mess and kept getting caught up.

DAMSK11 · 2nd April 2014, 18:57

Cleaned up the grill from the front bumper as someone had badly sprayed it so it had drips and paint flaking off.

Also took the bubbled up carbon wrap off of the boot handle which will be colour coded.

Also need opinions on colour. I want to spray it either black or white. I'm thinking white
