Started the new project a few weeks back so thought i'd get some info up for those who are interested, First off this is the current XR2Turbo


As the car looks ok i thought i'd start with another shell to save cutting this one up as it's gonna have the Fiesta Rally MCR arches, so i bought a very nice base model 17k miler 1.1 popular plus of a guy on xrtwo.com a few months back and after trailering it back from Newcastle to Cardiff it got tucked away in my garage ready for a rainy winters day, well the winters day and rain came so i thought it was new project time .
After a lot of ummmming and arrrring a plan has come together in the form of a PROPER track car.
Reason for this is easy, the XRT as a track car is awesome, but as a road car with 600&550 lbs springs it's a bit "dangerous" and not very nice.

So

The Magenta one will be used as a road car, running a Zetec, and the new shell will be the track car (but road legal). There are various reasons for this that will become clear later.

I could quite easily just sell up and go for something different like Jap, German or something else, but i'll be sticking to the Mk2 Fezzy as i LOVE um.
I've learnt a few things over the last 4 trackdays so this will help with the new build to make a very track usable car.

Here are some of the before pics































The next few are the removeal of the battery try which was 100%mint, but need to go to make room in the bay, Also the under side of the tray has been pulled up to match the drivers side as on my other car when cornering really hard the tire was touching the underneath of the inner wing.





Thats it for now, but more will be done soon as i've changed to a 4 day rota at work and over time is nonexistant
