PLEASE BE PATIENT AS THERE ARE ABOUT 180 PHOTOS
my project has been completed for a while now (until new engine & management) but ive only just had the photos scanned to my pc,,,,
i took photos all the way through from when i bought it to now, all done at home with help from freinds & family,, except spraying which is beyond me,
ive lost a few pics so there are some gaps in progress & its not step by step detailed but still an interesting view in my opinion so i hope you enjoy looking as much as i enjoyed building her
this is the car when i first bought it
i started to strip it down to see what she was like underneath the kit then commce standard xr2 engine removel
some rust from spillages over the years from rear washer bottle
rust on osr arch
with engine out bay prepping started
after some more cutting & welding to allow or rst downpipe clearance on crossmember then some more priming the engine bay was painted
ive lost some pics so its a bit sketchy but most are here,,, lol
the rs turbo engine i fitted was stripped down checked, cleaned & fitted with all new gaskets & seals plus alot of other new ancillaries
after fitting the engine & getting it up & running i drove it around for a year in stealth mode (no kit, yellow door,black bonnet & alloys) it was quite funny cos it looked like a pile of shit from the outside but with a bling engine bay & it went like a rocket,, lol
then it was time for the rest of the body work to be sorted
it even got a picture in PERFORMANCE FORD looking this way,,,pmsl
body work realy begins now

I FOR 1 CAN APRECIATE ALL THE TIME & EFFORT THAT US ENTHUASIASTES PUT INTO OUR CARS & FOR THE SAKE OF 1 PERSON SAYING THEY LOVE WHAT I HAVE DONE WITH THE CAR MAKES IT ALL WORTHWILE
THANK YOU ALL FOR LOOKING,,
