Looks well with the dirt effect paint!

Dont think theres much point washing them until weather picks up, thats probably october!

It was 2 tone untill today! Got it washed, thoroughly the job I had washing it... The engine was brown

Needed washing though, it's up for sale

I'll be kind of sad to see it go. Hope it goes to a good home!

Do you only get 6 months on a NCT?

 

[colinf1]

See its sold, didnt take u long to shift it!

@BlueDan, NCT is for a year, used to be for 2 years for all cars, but now its down to 1 year for cars 10years or older...I assume its only 6months for the fiesta as it was out of NCT too long?

 

[BlueDan]

Eh, doesn't having a test renew for another 12 months like a MOT?

It was only issued two weeks ago (a few posts up).

BlueDan: The NCT is done every 2 years on cars 4 years and older and 1 year for PSVs (taxis, mini-busses etc) and cars over 10 years old. The 1 year rule for older cars was just brought in. You don't need the NCT to tax the car either and its done in accordance to when the car was registered. The Fiesta was registered in August therefore it gets an NCT till August. You can do the test 3 months early or 6 months for the first NCT (cars 4 years old). DOE for commercials is different again...

Colin yes NCT out since 2010 The ad as up for 2 hours and it sold! That's a new record, the phone was hopping mad I know the chap that bought it, for his missus, he has an interest in cars and does all his own work so I know it's going to a good home. Gave him a good discount too

Here's the pics from the ad

Farewell Fiesta, you served me well :worship: And I hope it serves the new owner well too

How about a full summary of everything you did to it?

Also... does this mean that you'll now have a clearout of all the old Ford junk?

Looking forward to Polo and Tempra threads..

So a summary... Have to think here!

New shoes + drum and bearings
Gearbox + clutch
4 new wheels + tyres and spare!
New headlight + bulbs and wipers
Every fluid and filter replaced
Plugs
Ford CD6000 player installed
Stickerbombed A pillars, speedo surround and glovebox lid
Rewired rear tail light
Welded up sills + Rust proofed
Stebel tri-tone horn

I'm sure I missed something...

I will indeed be trying to rid of the Ford stuff! Plenty to flog, need to find some buyers...

Seconded! Bring on the Tempra thread1
