hmmmmmm, i got quoted 400 more than a standard s2 for a xr2 with a s2 engine in[/quote]

eeshk, I dont fancy paying loads more money on insurance than the car is actually worth. coz Apart from the shell its s1 bits, suspension interior exterior dash, s2 brakes. I know this still makes it a xr3. May have to admit defeat and sell it for parts, get a mint s1.
