Yes still got the Xr's just finishing the house off then it's full on with the cars. Bought myself a welder so going to learn to weld so I can try and do them myself. So you might see the Xr3i flying around town again.

Welding just takes practice. It doesnt matter how much weld you put 9n cause that can be ground off.

The osr arch is corroded near the petrol cap.The osf wheel arch is corroded too.I dont know about the sill till he cuts it off.The front seat mounts arnt rotton but a bit corroded so im gonna get him to cut the bad bits out and weld fresh bits in.

I will go over and try and start her up next week cause the engine hasnt ran for over 4 months.I will remove the coil lead crank it over a bit to get the oil round the engine then start it up.
