Welcome to Retro-Rides...and extra points for saving a Mk2 Fezza, good ones are getting scarce, maybe even more so than Mk1's now!!!! That's really clean....bit of \/\/\/ movement and you're sorted my son  |

Nice car, my mate had one identical to that. Rotted like it was going out of fashion though Fords of that era are either very good or very dead in the body department ive noticed.

Looks good, welcome aboard! I saw one of these Fiesta's over the weekend and was thinking how you hardly see them anymore, used to be very popular when I was a kid. Obviously we need more info and pics of the mini and escort from the corner of the pics too...  |

Quality! Love the mk2 shape (takes me back to my black XR2:( MIA) My advice for all its worth is, don't go for 2i wheels (they are a ugly as sin IMO) other than that your doing great The "Go on..... Grab a Cornishman" sticker is priceless, proper bo! |

Looks really tidy as has been said they're getting thin on the ground now especially minters like that.

 it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts |

Looking good mate ;D I wasn't too keen on fiestas (my mom had a load of them) but I've started to realise that I do infact really like them and would probably have one in the future. Good work, and keep it up |

Yet more proof that a few subtle mods can be much more effective than nailing bit of plastic all over the place. Sweet. Wish my first car (a mkII Fezza Popular) had looked that good!
