[Aimez]

make sure you don't loose this enthusiasm, my ex had a mk1 fiesta he got as far as puttin glass in getting some seats, one bumper then gave up! It was a mint super sport model with no dents at all and 28,000 miles it spent its life on bricks! I don't think you are like that though you seems well off so money won't be a problem for you like it was for my ex!
