I took it off the road Sean to fit the throttle bodies, tidy it up with the roof, brakes, rear beam etc and paint it. The filler cap area was 100% mint as were the arches which is rare on a MK3 Fiesta and the underside looked solid when i went to view, albeit COVERED in waxoyl. Thinking that the filler area was mint the floor would be and the wazoyl was a sign it was well looked after. However the chap who owned it before sold it to his boss, who then sold it back to him, and in the time his boss owned it, he steam cleaned the underside EVERY week which had stripped the underseal off. When I jacked it up and removed the interior there was litrally nothing left under the waxoyl.

Both sides were like this. It needed, floor pans, inner and outer sills, rear chassis legs, floor to bulkhead coners

Then my brother told me the Escort was for sale, went to look at it and thought hmmmmm mint RST for £1500 or weld up this shitbox Fiesta. No brainer really.
