Bought this XR3i with a blown cvh with plans to Zetec it and use it as a daily runner:





De-chavved and engine out





2.0 Zetec in original home



2.0 Zetec in new home! 8)



However, the car was then vandalised which made me lose interest and take the Zetec back out so car was a rolling shell again! Wanted to keep it though cos the shell is very very good so it sat for a while when I decided what to do.....me and my mate decided to make it a track toy which would also be taxed and tested for a bit of cheap fun

His spare 2.0 zetec was earmarked for the Xr until this little delight came along:



Mk5 RS2000, complete except front Recaros! Car was mot'd and taxed with a good engine, full suspension kit, braided hoses and totally original. However the previous owner decided to hit a kerb at a silly speed which bent the back axle, and totally fooked the o/s strut etc. plus the car was totally rotten and had burst brake pipes etc :shock:

So to be a little different, it was decided the I4 was going in the mk4 so the stripping commenced and a little later car looked like this





and the lump awaits a clean up and a few changes then into its new home



Thats it the now as theres no light at the garage but RS gets scrapped next weekend and will get some more pics of the engine going in 8)

Still got the MTX box for sale, as well as bonnet, bumper, skirts, headlights etc if anyone interested

Hope you like
