the paint is currently blue with black roof, it will be staying blue, i will just attempt to blow in the areas needed... i rattle canned the fiesta at the weekend, doesn't look too bad....of course should money make itself available... (final interview at jaguar land rover was today...) it'll get sprayed or wrapped i guess...

mrs goon (from canada) has been granted a 5 year visa to return to blighty, (read 'to me') -
this long weekend i have so far, fitted subframe to mini for vauxhall engine, ordered some engine mount rubbers (of the defender v8 variety), fitted a new (£50 off ebay) lock set to the fiesta, and duct taped the old imobiliser chipped keys to the immobiliser sensor, now it starts off the new keys! so, we can see that ford weren't very clever in the 90s! i am also about 1/3 of the way through painting a freebie motorbike helmet as a Senna tribute. have shot white primer and fiat golden yellow as base colour, now need to mask for the blue and green stripes,(most difficult bit) then wet sand and lacquer.....

funny you should mention it, i know 2 friends with gt4's both heavily modified, turbo melted on friend number ones, and a boost pipe popped on friend number two's at abbey corner of silverstone, causing an engine fire, so a fire marshall emptied a big powder fire extinguisher into the engine bay! Next car choice will be dependent on whether i get this job i've applied for..

i think it's got the 58 part... just bought a full lock set for the above car, shall we say that some undesirables have rendered access to the boot, fuel tank and ignition near impossible... another £50, however have found means to obtain service items without paying so that will reduce the budget! current score is that i'm £100 in and no closer to an MOT! oh also attempted to replace the passenger side mirror glass, broke the new one too.
