XR2 Light Restore :)
Being as i now have another car on the road, the XR2 has been taken off the road as it needs touching up in a few places. Being as id killed the bottom end and front end had some rust i decided to start there. So tonight i went up my sisters where the car is kept and made a start.
Heres the first piccy of how the front end was:
Here is my trusty helper, Azzy
Heres a picture of the battery tray/front left slam panel
Heres a picture of it without bumper, bonnet, lights, spots etc
