Looks awesome! I almost bought a Mk1 Fez for my first car when I was 15 (where have the past 4 years gone?) but then the Polo came up a bit cheaper and nearer. This car makes me almost regret it! My arch rolling on that involved a metal bar, me driving backward and forward and a mate jumping on the boot, I had plastic covers on the arches to cover them though ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png)

I like this ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) I can't remember who said it now, but flipping the bumper would look cack because of the profile of it. If you were going down that route, it would be better to weld up the holes on top ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) Looks like you are doing an excellent job with it, and good work on the enterprising funding of an arch roller. I won't mention the tape and choc blocs in your stereo wiring if you don't ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) ;D

cool, used to have one of these years ago lying around, my advice is never get into a situation where your being shot at by archers! lol we used to use ours as target practice with crossbows, arrows were able to go through both doors with the one shot!

For me, this car is a bit Marmite, there's bits I love and bits I hate about it.
Hate: those stretched rear tyres and too-wide rear wheels, it looks like it's going to crabtrack like crazy. I think it's a bit too low as well and that negative camber on the front has me worried... however!
The Good: It's (yet another!) super straight Mk1 Fiesta and amazing that there's no rot. The simple colour and lack of fiddly bodykit and such is brilliant, as it the matching oval on the grille. The yellow lights are a nice, unusual touch and the wheel style is a good match for the overall design. The little aerial bobble is cute and the arch rolling isn't noticable which must mean you've done that well.
Oh, and is it just me or does the nose end remind anyone of an Opel Kadett with those yellow headlamps? I'd be so tempted to slap a red grille on this little fellah too.

I'm pretty much in agreement with volksangyl above, although I think a red grille would probably be overkill. Overall, I guess that if this car is for show, rather than go, then you've got something that will definately stand out and get praise from some people, (you can't please everyone, all the time,) but cheeky little B-road blaster this ain't. As long as it ticks your own personal boxes, nothing else really matters ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

These little Mk1 Fezzas are really growing on me now, and that looks spot on.
