Had to remove the front spoiler, since 1987 it had suffered it's fair share of scuffs and dings so it was repaired, and re-textured prior to refitting



The under-arches were thoroughly steam cleaned, re-sealed and stone chipped in a tough black finish, looks pretty clean underneath now



While under the nearside rear arch, I removed all the sheilds to replace all the engine belts, it's a low miler with just 33,000 on the clock but prevention is better than cure as they say



Trial fitting the new wheels and tyres. I prefer them to the original five spokes but they may not be to all tastes



Looking a bit grubby so, a thorough wash, degrease, clay bar, rotary and DA machine polish finished by a hand polish and seal see the car looking great once again

It's not that old (I really should update the posters on my garage wall)
One of the very few Ferraris I would like to own, definitely better with the original wheels though

Must admit the new rims do look a bit too modern for the retro shape of the car

And here was me hoping for a nice XR2 or Supersport!

Was anyone else expecting a Fiesta and got a bit of a surprise on opening the thread?

Edit: guess not, see above XD

Duly amended title

Poor show! Could you have not gone and changed pics for a nice Mk1 XR2 instead???

Mk1 XR2 is a super cool car I must admit
