Right so apparently I've just won a 2001 Ford Fiesta 1.3... got to stop drinking the Guiness! 😞😞

Covered 116k miles. It is the 1.3 Petrol , MANUAL Flight Model finished in Non Metallic Red with grey cloth interior. It has an MOT until MAY 22nd 2016.

The body work is marked on every panel , there are a couple of dents, scuffed bumpers all round, at least three rust patches and a badly faded bonnet. The tyres are ok!

The car has one key that works the central locking but it needs to be operated from the passenger side.

The interior seats are ok with no rips or burns, both door panels have the interior cloth lining hanging off! Anyone have any ideas how to fix this? A bit of new material and glue?


So the plans are to turn this purchase into a positive, so these are my thoughts....

Wrap the bonnet in carbon fibre vinyl as it is faded anyway
Remove front and rear badges
Somehow get that scuff out on the front????
And fix the interior cloth on the door, any ideas on this guys???

So yeah... Any ideas on what to do would be greatly appreciated!!!

It's a Fiesta mate, how can anything about it be made positive? ;-)

I'd try mopping the bonnet to see if the shine will come back.

Spend as little as possible on it and shift it on.
