The arches are on, had to weld little tags on to take one of the holes! The original fittings were rubbish but found and alternative fixing!! The side skirts are now screwed on along the top and are solid now! The car will be at a few shows over the next years and mainly at early escort meets as two of my mates have mk1 mexico's!!

My tyres turned up today at last and the half cage is being powdered coated at the moment! The wheels should be done by the end of the week.

The aim is to get the inside put back together as ive had the dash apart to remove some unwanted wiring and move a switch!

The shell is ok now but was sole destroying when you start and know youve got a few months of hard work to put it right!

And i agree the xr2 should be seen more. Its a very underestimated little ford! Not the quickest but everyone has had one or driven one and must have enjoyed it!!
