Mk3 1990 fiesta ghia!! Bad news, maybe the end!!
Re: My mk3 Ghia project!! baxtered!!
I saw about this on fb, such a shame
How bad is the dent? Do you think it could be pulled out or is it creased/stretched?

Re: My mk3 Ghia project!! baxtered!!
I'm not sure if i can get it out yet, i havent really had chance to do anything yet, it looks like it might have a crease though

Yeah its all good, the exhaust is a bit worse for wear but it'll have to do, unless i get a stainless one by then!!
just have to have a shiny but dented bonnet!!

I have also just noticed that the baxtered who did the bonnet has kicked the front, the top front corner of the wing where it meets the indicator, so its chipped that too, and it was the indicator i bought brand new!! Fuckers!!

So, the fiesta made the 1000 miles its been in the last week, however the exhaust is ready to fall off, the tickover is now lumpyas fook and the relay for the imtermittant wipers has died!! Not ti mention the previously mentioned dents, some tlc may be needed!!

Re: My mk3 Ghia project!!
I took the steering wheel off today, to fit the self cancel ring off the old steering wheel, only to find that it doesnt fit as the one on the new steering wheel, it needs to be deeper
anyone know where i can find one cheap??

They blend in with the paint, so they aren't noticeable. Quite a quirky mod if you ask me.
