Mk 5 Fiesta 1.7 Track car build
Discussion
Got a couple of nights in this week.
Bit more filler work on the driver side quarter/arch.
Bay getting prepped
Seam sealer
High build primer (a very light grey but looks white)
Frozen white top coat
No reactions this time
took alot of paint to cover the stonechip though.
Get the axle and subframe on this weekend and it will roll plus give me a bit of motivation to prep the inside, its always nice adding shiny parts to new paint

Bit of an achievement at the weekend...... it rolls
Got the wings and engine in so we could set up the suspension and then flare the arches.
The strut tops seem to be modified to make it sit lower and have more camber which is a bonus.
Spent another hour or two prepping the inside, getting there slowly.
thanks

Been rather busy of late and heading down to a track day at Rockingham and Sunday service this weekend but there has been a little progress.
Trimmed the dash and test fitted.
Had to make a bracket for centre support. Will be making a main panel with switches/gauges at a later date.
The insides getting very close to paint. Hopefully make a start next week.
A couple more parts have also turned up.
6 Point Harnesses
Bonnet/boot pins

Got the boot fitting alot better, still need to fibreglass it back together though..
Flared the front arches and gave them a 1st fill.
Thought it was about time to get some paint on the shell

Then guide coat and wet and dry
Passenger side sanded down, some bits im not happy with but couldn't tell till it had a shine so will need more filler/primer.
