Hi, this is my MK1 Fiesta

Year: 1978
Engine: 1.1
Gearbox: 4 speed
Model: L (lux?, LOL?, Liquid?, Lobster?)
Comfort: Seats

So I bought this car from an older man, who restored it a bit (mostly panels and sills), there is a bit of work to do on the suspension and engine, but nothing too expensive I hope.







With my friends mk2:



Then after a long winter in the garage I started playing with the interior:






Now I'm just waiting for the front suspension to turn up and then the rears next month probably.

Looks lovely! What are you doing with the suspension? Standard or something else?

[enej_46]

Standard gas shocks and lowered springs. Nothing too extreme fornow, because I need to MOT it and register it for the road.

I love these, what a great fabric on the seats, love that strobe-y check pattern

I love everything about this. Bookmarked for more..

the L stands for Lovely. GL stands for Goes Lovely

Car is now registered. Loud as curse word and lowered a bit.
Some retro brow sepia photos for your enjoyment:





The wheels are temporary as I sent the original 12' steelies to a widening surgery. They should look like this when finished:
