Default newbie with xr3

thanks for the welcomes

i purchased this off fleabay. described as complete but needs a bit of welding.
i think if i had of welded it all in one go it would have taken me about three weeks. luckily i have a mate with his own garage and use of his welder.

took a while to reconstruct but im proud of this





n/s inner wing

the holes just keep coming





made the bits off a mk4 fit as money was tight and i couldnt afford new panels



im not the worlds best welder but im good at grinding


this o/s rear inner sill was a right pig to do







put interior back in



ive had to take the interior out recently as there is a leak into drivers side, i cant find where it is coming in yet though
repaired big dent in the wing

its looking more like xr3 now
there was a deep scratch to the rear panel but i noticed the rear panel i rippled so there is accident damage here

the roof also wants sorting so my mate is coming in the new year to give me a quote for a respray. so im still aquiring bits for it,i have 2 mint doors and tailgate in the garage to go on

so it got put on hold over summer as we bought my son a mini for his 18th birthday but that ended up needing more welding than the escort


cheers drew
