Steve MK2 XR2 Turbo project updates 30-10-09
This is my MK2 XR2 Turbo project
At the moment I'm replacing/renewing some of the panels on the XR2 to make it mint before I put in the RST engine and running gear etc. I'm also gonna make a few upgrades here and there and a few choice mods (nothing too mad) for now and it should be done sometime just after new year 2010.
Heres some pics on the project. I will post more up as my project evolves. Thanks for looking
try fit the engine and bits the engine is still the XR2 one lol
now the front all a part
now cutting the rust out and putting now inner wings on
in primed
try fit with the new front mount
the engine
modifying the bonnet hinges.
the bonnet and the bits of wood are only templates
I rolled the lips over on the front wings and i've 2K primed the inside of the wings and front panel etc...
croosmember welded and on the car and the front welded up
had to cut the chassis leg because the tie bar bracket bolt snapped
croosmember all welded up and the front sealed & stone chip
the bonnet brackets are made and welded
more soon
Thanks for looking
