Just a fucking joke, every rust bubble turns out to ruin half the panel

The rear panel i just slapped a thick load of undersealant on it as there is a gap between the 2 panels, and its rotting out from the inside out, and i also found out ford painted mallard green onto bare metal THEN undersealed over that, thats why they are so easy to rot.





So i now need:

1 x Front Valance
1x Rear Valance
1x Front Passenger Wing
2x Full Sills
1x Passenger Rear Quarter
1x Passenger Inner Rear Quarter
Tailgate

All on a 54,000 mile car, really is a joke, the fuel tank is rotton an all, think ill have it till august when the MOT is out then scrap it Or spend about 300 on panels and getting them fitted and painted

Another thing is once ive landed myself a better paid job and i can get credit again, and can afford the insurance, ill buy something more newer.

I just earn around 210 quid a week, and im just ploughing it all into old fiestas when sometimes i think why bother?

Okay lets look at it like this, my last few plans are to

Fit the 2.0, i just need a cambelt kit and oil and gaskets etc - say 100 quid.

I need tyres for my alloys - 180 quid.

I need paint for my side skirts and for my alloys, proper compressor paint not fairy can paint, thats going to be around 50 quids worth.

I need 2 new lower arms and 2 roll bar links - thats got to be another 60 quids worth.

So all in all im looking at around 300 - 400 quid to get it how i would like it, just always seems a far way off, but i need another few hundred quid to buy a runabout because i need a car for work as its a 45mile round trip everyday.
