Yo, this is my 16v Si, i know its the same as the post on Ft.com, but why the hell not?!?:lol: Here are photo's from (pretty much) the start, when i first got the HWK up to how it is now:

minor work starts; smoothing ariel hole, bonnet and minor dings:
Image


wheels arrive and go straight on:
Image


my rear bumper has a bit of a collision with a wall, also denting the exhaust big time (hammered out for now):
Image


so that comes off in my grans garage for repairing:
Image


decide to kill rust on the rear arch and attack any other imperfections down the driver and passengers side:
Image

Image


get my xr2i/rs arches on (bonded and screwed), driving around like this for 2 weeks and i got some wierd looks :lol: :
Image
start to smooth them in with fibreglass:
Image


then these arrive:
Image


so they go on:
Image


getting there...
Image


12-bore bumper arrives and goes on. It will need adjusting to get it looking right, but im gonna kill the rust sitting behind it first
:) This is how its looking atm:

Image


Im pretty happy with it so far, got a few more bits of rust which need to be attacked and of course needs lowering asap which will be done as soon as money allows. Also getting a bad-boy bonnet very soon.
Cheers for looking and of course constructive comments/critism welcome!

some people just get down and do the work themselves, thas great. would be scared to do all that myself, but gonna start on smaller stuff.

did you have any experience in spraying or bodywork prior?

When you say attacked the arches etc?

Do you mean rip all the rust out and weld new sills/arches on, or did you rust treat and fill?

Thanks

Me

Greg - cheers dude. I haven't done anything like this before...its my first car but once i did a bit of smoothing on the bonnet/ariel hole etc i got pretty confident and thought that smoothed arches would look decent with the 12-bore skirts. It aint that hard...just painfully slow work - il come back to the car some days and notice reeeeaaally small imperfections in the aches, which have to all be iron'd out before its sprayed :lol:

Tony - ta mate, I aint sure on a colour yet...im tempted to go back to standard colour (mainly because the costs of getting it re-sprayed a different colour are a lot higher than getting it done the same), il post up a poll soon, see what others think :)

Paul - i've gotta admit, i didnt weld new sills and arches on as the rust wasn't actually too bad, so it was just a case on grinding out what was there and treating it all with loadsa rust killing/protecting agencies.

Cheers dudes :chill:

decided to get rid of some rust behind the front bumper (was gonna take the bumper off, but couldnt find my trolley jack :S).

how it was:
Image

to my grans garage for treatment...
grinded out all the rust, applied a loada waxoil then meshed and fibreglassed over the hole:
Image
Image

then smoothed back and zinc primered:
Image



still needs some filler,smoothing and spraying black but its looking a lot better than before :)
ps, i know theres a gap between my bumper and headlights :bonkers:

cheers for looking
:Q

when you fiberglassed and removed all the rust by grinding it out was it easy?

when puuting on fiberglass does it hold around the area?

did you use fiberglass because it is less likely to crack like filler, and where can you get fiberglass.

how long does it take to set?

sorry mate 101 questions just really curious because i'll do this if i find a lot of rust.

grinding rust? easy? yes.. would jst fly straight through it?

Never used it myself but i think it holds itself quite well,
and think takes a few hours to set.. probably 24 to go rock solid?

Think you could prob get it from b&q or somewhere?

cheers dudes...interesting how the morrettes get rid of the gap. Im gonna juggle with some different ideas with getting rid of it. The main thing that pisses me off is the gap between the front quater panel and the bumper :x
des, are you wearing your 12-bore for fitp?

yeah, tbh i just had a grinder attackment for a drill, which was a bit cack...grinded out most the rust really easily...just left a few bits which i coated with waxoil. Fibreglass tends to dry in about 20minutes, its really easy to use, thought id use alumminum mesh aswell just to make sure it doesnt crack. I got mine from halfords, but its available in motormania and i guess do it all/b & q aswell.

When your applying fibreglass, your best to key the surrounding area a fair bit so its got a bigger surface area to 'hold onto'. I'd recommend it over just using filler; i tend to use p38 filler after fibreglass just to get a smooth finish (the less used the better due to how brittle it is).

At the end of the day, it isnt a perfect job on the slam panel and im actually expecting some rust to creep through after time...but as its behind the bumper and not in danger of rotting away any important parts, im quite happy how it is. If your gonna kill every bit of rust on a 10 year old fiesta, your looking at a long and expensive job (some consideration has to be put into the ??? your getting back when selling).

hth, feel free to ask away :lol: :lol:
