Started work on the XR2 today:

Got the bonnet off:


Got the radiator out:


Twin 40's out:


Ashley 4 branch, starter & alternator out:


Anti roll bars out:



My mate Chris' doing his first bit of work (he'd been on gaffer mode until then )


Engine & running gear all out in the one go:


Empty bay:



Hubs stripped of calipers & shocks:


Got the front panel of the kit off:


Cleaning the bay up:



Must have been the date that the kit was put on:


Found this rust underneath the front panel of the kit between the front panel and the wing, I am so unbelieveably gutted that it's got some rust!! Just glad that I found it the now and not when it's worse later on. This is a pic of it all ground back, just need to put loctite rust remedy onto it tomorrow and it'll be fine again:



Started painting up parts of the running gear:


This is a brand new steering rack, painted it up:


So thats been the progress of Day 1, and I'll get back into it tomorrow again, so expect more pics tomorrow too
