Finally an update

XR2 had its photoshoot, but the Zetec Turbo engine will be staying in it for a bit longer yet, got a few more plans for more power and a strict diet

For the mk3 i been busy trying to find a good donor XR2i as i decided this was the easiest way to get good panels and a wealth of tiny silly things such as seat belts, door cards, trim as well as important things such as gear linkage, wiring loom, kit etc... so planning to strip this car properly.

Car i bought was a bit of a minter, shame to break it in a way as it drove nicely, the guy i bought it off seemed a bit sad when i said i was stripping it as it turned out he polished it every month But needs must

Started stripping this today:

And putting the bits onto this, few pics randomly.



Finished pics tomorrow

Also fitted opening rear quarters to let some heat out:



Plan is to put it on Escort Cossie wheels, and leave it looking virtually as it is i.e. A XR2i replica, but for now 13" XR2i wheels will add to the sleeper elelment

More soon
