Had these took yesterday, and I thought I would share them with people who I hope appreciates her as I do. Ignore my ugly mug in a couple of them..

I know the wheels spoil it, and I am after some 14 or 15s to put on there. But, as I only earn £90 a week, and Im in need of 2 new tires, and it needs Taxing in January, some things will simply have to wait.

Anyone who has any parts they can donate to help keep her on the road, feel free to get in touch. She is a great car and it would be horrible if she had to come off the road for any reason.

That looks in superb nick. You have a minter there.

You should be able to get some standard wheels dead cheap off here. In fact, I saw some Mk3 wheels - which will fit on the Mk1 for sale here recently and they were going dead cheap.

Edit to add: http://www.imoc.co.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?t=52861 £75 for those wheels? Bargain.

Thanks for the comments. I wish it was a minter! Its has the usual blebs on the arches, and a bit on the drivers side A pillar thats needs welding, right at the bottom behind the wing.. Everywhere else is solid and original.
For what I paid for her, Im well impressed, and it should have been much much more. £600 and a Fiesta that I paid £40 for a couple of weeks earlier. Not bad for a second car i think, and she wears her 95,000 miles well.
The wheels are all curbed quite badly, and at least one of them is very badly buckled. From a distance they looks ok, but close up they are an embarrassment. Id like to get some standard wheels on, as the ones on now are 16s and they must be affecting the driving dynamics.

Looks really good! Some nice piccys!
Personally, I think those wheels suit a white Mk1 quite nicely, except they do look a bit big (I thought they looked big, but have just seen your comment about the size - 16s are definately too big!).
T-Bar - spot on! :)

I'd lose the cruisenotts sticker in the windscreen though, and replace it with a subtle IMOC sticker somewhere! :mrgreen: (lose some of the chaviness side of it!!!)

Nice one!
