Time has come to decide, and i have decided to re-shell the car with a 1.1 Bonus. The XR3i, although it looks clean, is pretty rotten underneath. Before it was stripped:



And after:



And this is my new shell, a 1.1 Bonus, the most basic of all! Was perfect or what I was after, unusual colour, no sunroof and a good solid base for the project:











And now the lovely interior - if you look closely you can see the big puddle of water underneath the passenger seat!!



Gonna replace doors, tailgate and bonnet with the ones from my XR, and put two wings and front panel on it. The main parts are all in good nick and the car has the best battery tray I have ever seen!!

Cheers for lookin and any tips or comments very welcome!
