Default My Radiant Mk2 XR2

Since I have had the car a few months and been a member on here for a while I thought I should get some pics up and Thames water lifting the hosepipe ban seemed as good a reason as any to give her a clean and polish. Halfords also had a 3 for 2 offer on all Auto Glym products I bought shampoo and wax and also a bumper restorer which is bloody amazing stuff

Anyway the car is a 1988 'E' vintage and is pretty standard apart from being poly bushed throughout and having braided brake lines fitted. I fitted a new Master Cylinder just after I got her and also replaced the signal amplifier and coil to fix an annoying misfire. Apart from that she has been a sound little car and much more fun to drive than anything I have owned for ages.

Jobs for this year will be get the rust around the sunroof seen to and also the battery tray is looking abit scabby underneath but I haven't fully investigate that yet so who knows what I might find.

For those that may remember it this is Neil Clarke's old one that I bought from him back in July 06

Here's a couple of pictures. The quality is not great but the sun was really bright and low and my camera didn't deal with it very well.

2 exterior shots






1 interior



Hope you like and I will get some better pictures up soon. I feel like a proper member now everyone has seen my car..
