i have had well over 100 mk2 fiestas and half of them were xr2's and the biggest problem is rust plain and simple,everything else is easy on them exept the shit bodywork, i learned bodywork on rotten fiestas
i found the early b and c reg'ers to be faster then the d to g reg'ers
when i did have a rust free minter i treated it properly and i even drove a 89 f plate tasman blue one to st tropez and back and it never missed a beat once,was great fun on the bone dry south of france corniche roads.
