Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    HI,

    I have a 1981 Fiesta bobcat. Started to restore it last year but events have taken over. Original Irish Reg car.
    Car needs repair to driver side inner wing and to floor pans. I have all the repair panels to suit and they will go with the car. Also have a new drivers wing ready to weld on.

    I drove the car before starting the restoration and the engine, clutch, gearbox and drives were all perfect. Lovely little engine in fact.

    Interior is original and in good nick. I have taken the seats out to keep them from going damp.

    I now need to move on this little car. Its far too good to break in my opinion and they are beginning to get scarce on the roads.


    First €400 secures. (The new repair panels alone are worth over €150.)

    Cheers.

    new front splitters needed aswell...


    tbh i was offered a clean driving one for 750.... this ones not less then 2k's work to make her useable ( high standards... new tyres, engines and more then likely paint aswell... it All adds up... 2k is just leverage as you always o over budget )


    i retract my interest.

    No probs S.I.R.

    She needs a bit of work alright. If anyone is interested in it as a project or for parts, just leave a message.

    thanks,

    Unfit.
