Here's my XR3i, 1983, with no sunroof, which is probably what has saved it splitting in two...
Owned for 10+ years and started the restoration last November. Its very rotten!

Before
Interior is staying exactly as it was when it left the factory 55,000 miles ago though!
Work in progress
Not going for an original, standard looking resto with this one. Not going through Halfords with a guide dog either of course but I've made a few tasteful (imo) mods along the way. Deleted the spoiler as I couldn't get a decent non spoiler one locally, painted the whole lot in Mercedes Arctic White with a grey tint, standard XR3i bonnet, a set of 17s and I'm currently waiting on my Zetec Turbo engine being installed!!!

Sunburst XR3i
I bought this wee darling 4 months ago.
It was garaged under a cover for the last 15 years.
Replaced most of the fuel system and it now runs and looks fab.
Totally rust free and original spec.

[quote=3i-bays;5541968]a few recent ones of mine
Well done sir. I think the wheels and front dam really suit your car.
Very tastefully done.
Sunburst is my personal fav, its gotta be the most iconic XR3 colour.

May aswell chuck another aussie ford up. 04 Ba XR6turbo ute.
Fully pollybushed everything, 3" turbo back with little back box hidden in the rear well. Remaped to 8-9psi and remapped auto box with triptronic controls.
Next step is 60lb injectors so i can push higher than 410.

PassionFord Post Whore!!
Love the sunburst 3i's (takes me back to when i had mine) especially yours 3i-bays but would prefer it without the RS splitter. Take the front back to standard and it would be perfection.

this is how i got it
fresh respray ie nothing was removed before it was painted. the doors and bonnet also removed from another xr2 as was the gearbox. the engine pulls well but smokey on cold start up so the valve stems are on their way out.
has your mate got any pics of it?

I have had quite afew XR's in the past
My 1985 XR3i tintop which I got in January 2009, I was the 2nd owner with 58k on the clock. I have recently sold to a fellow ford nut. This is how I got it.
I gave it a good polish & changed the tailgate decal & the rear bumper. These are the results
I have also got a 1990 all white cabriolet which is getting a well deserved restoration
