Glad you got it back mate, happy days. I'd be interested in seeing what you do with it. Im in the process of tidying up an XR3i 130 and i think they are great little cars that should be kept on the road if poss. As said though, dont know how id feel about owning and driving a car some gutless little pieces of shit have been thrashing the nuts off, and im not being funny but its going to cost you a fair few quid to get that lot sorted. But its YOUR car mate at the end of the day and if you're in no rush to get it back on the road then wheres the harm in fixing it up over a period of time?
Ps, i you do break it, let me know, i need bits!

Haha
Good luck with it mate!
