Well i tried to buy this last year but wifey said no!!!!!

 

I got the nod it was up for sale so my lad kyran has brought it to restore & as a investment.

 

Has been stored approx 11 years in a dry garage no welding needed looking at it.

 

Back to original spec.

Do you ever find a build sheet under the seats/carpet? In my US Escorts and Mustangs they've always been under the rear seat carpet. It's a full sized paper sheet that lists some more details about the car. Not sure if you call it the same thing over there.

I found the build sheet for the wife's Brand New Fiesta Zetec S in the front coil Spring

That doesn't sound like a safe place! Do you call them build sheets too?

There Called Build sheets in the General Assembly Plant - normally fitted to the Plastic cover they put on the front wings to protect them

Ahhhh - ours are typically stuffed under the rear seat carpet, I think some other makes put them up in the seat springs. They usually survive as long as you don't have holes in the floor. As soon as the snow clears up I'll push the car outside and see if I can find anything. As far as I know all my body panels are original. Thanks :smile:
