Well after much looking around I picked up my donor from sheffield last nite. It's a 1.8 cvh Estate with according to the spedo 55000 miles on it (i'm thinking more like 155000 but last two mot's only show 54 and 55000. Drove back without any hassles and only some vibration from an unbalanced wheel. It comes with fiesta zetec alloys with good tyres as well so seems a bit of a bargain as I ended up paying £370 for it. More than I hoped for but I think it's well worth it.
Am looking at buying up the next lot of bits that I will need then I can get rolling on my build again.
I'm sure many questions will follow!!!
