1991 Ford XR2I Fiesta, Not RS Turbo, Not 1800, Unfinished project
Right so i have just payed for gold member ship, hope its worth it.
Well any way as some of you know i have an xr2i that i have lost interest in, i have done alot of work to this car, as follows:
Bought this car about a year ago after she failed MOT on rust, i then began to strip it down to the shell for the rust and paint to be done.
I was told the ecu had been chipped by super chip or something but judging by the condition of the valves when we rebuilt it its running pretty rich i would suggest a re map or something when shes back on the road
I removed the immobilizer a few months ago as it went kaput, but i have got a TOAD state of art immobilizer ready to be fitted.
What has been done:
Rear arches and rear skin replaced
Front wings replaced
Front splitter that sits behind the bumper replaced
Door locks had been removed by previous owner and doors were skimmed flush so it relied on the central locking but for some reason the immobilizer went faulty, i have now removed the immobilizer with hopes of fitting a new one, car does start and drive fine.
Front inner arches have been cleaned and has some welding work done and red oxidized
Front steering rack ball joints replaced
Had a full top end rebuild New exhaust valves, New OEM head gasket, New head bolts, New AUX belt, New rocker cover gasket, All valves re seated and all injectors were thoroughly cleaned (Cylinder bores were checked, and no excessive ware so we left it alone)
Engine bay was tarted up, had a massive alloy radiator which we powder coated black, inlet manifold was rebuilt and powder coated along with a few other things
OEM Exhaust manifold has had a high temperature ceramic powder coat applied which wasn't so cheap
What needs to be done:
We believe the sump gasket is leaking, we have a new one ready to be put on
Front pads and discs, New ones ready to be put on
Exhaust needs to be fitted, I believe it is a RS muffler
Fan temperature switch needs fitting as old one does not work
Interior needs refitting
What comes with the car:
Paper work of all the stuff i have bought for the car
Sump gasket
Exhaust system
Full Recaro interior
All windows (Front windscreen was cracked when removed quoted £70 for a new one)
Front discs and pads
All lights
2 x new/damaged front wings
2 x 5L of Morris 5W30 Classic engine oil
RS Turbo wheels
Toad alarm system
I would really like to finish it but time and money are holding me back at the moment but if it doesn't reach the reserve i will keep it until i can finish it, this will be worth a pretty penny one day.
All the car will need to be MOT'd is a new front wind screen and new fuel tank, i can video it running if needs be
Delivery available
