You may remember that we decided that we wanted to keep the car as original as we could. Thankfully, we managed to remove the rust to the wings and arches, and form our own repair sections, retaining as much of the original metal as required...
Smaller blemishes and marks have been removed and rectified and the wheel arches repaired.
The passenger side front wing previously had rotted out through at the bottom. Fresh metal means that the car will remain solid for years to come.
It has probably been the front end that has seen the brunt of the hard work. Previously tatty looking and suffering from the dreaded tin-worm, the front wings have been welded, shaped and sealed.
It may look sorry for itself at the moment, but the strip-down is essential to bring the Fiesta back to its former glory.
Nice clean lines...
Next step is a coat of primer and a little more prep before the classic two-tone colour scheme is re-applied and the rebuild can begin!
