Default white XR3i rebuild

hi

im new to the forum so first of all hello...
the chap in the local tyre house directed me to
this excellent web site when i was telling him about
my xr3i rebuild...
it was a pretty rusty example...and needed new rear wings..
inner and outer sills...new door bottoms...rear and front panels...
battery tray....boot floor panel....rear floor panels...
and a near side door post....i had the wheels refurbed
and powder coated...it was all done outside on the drive in
8 weeks fully striped out and painted and rebuilt...
she has come out really well to thanks to some good weather...
so here are some pictures of the finished build, if i had known
about this site sooner i would have taken some more pictures
of the strip down and examples of how bad these cars do rust...
my next project is an all white cabriolet so i will keep you
all posted on this when the strip down starts....
i just need to figure out how to upload pictures now...


all the best

you need to upload your pics onto www.photobucket.com then copy the img link into your post on here - there is a better explanation in faqs i think
