ok, i have been on here for a while now and never been bothered to start a thread. but i thought i would to see if it will help my motivation.

in the beginning , the car started out as a fairly standard xr2.



drove it as it was for about 12 months, then 1 winter it made me loss 3 days work due to breaking down. so bought a new car a kept this as a project. engine was the only thing on my mind, spent over 1k on rebuilding the cvh with twin 40 dellautos, gas flowed head, newmans fast road cam, ashley 4 branch, vernier pulley, better dizzy, full rebuild. once built i took it out for a spin and it wouldn't rev, had a few plays with it and it was having non of it. i ended up taking it to aldon automotive who also couldn't get it to rev. so ended up breaking the cvh.



only pic i have

when looking for a zetec, a close friend of mine had just had his rs2000 written off and he had only just rebuilt his engine so i bought it of him very cheap.

whilst the car was off the road i had 2 new wings and front panel, plated some holes in the inner wing and fabricated a mount for the rs engine, the fit is good, with only 2 issues. it sits high so my plan is to lower the engine slightly, also little room for alternator so going to use a small racing alternator ive seen.

due to going injection i decided i wanted to have a alloy fuel tank in the boot as i think it makes the car look that bit different. inside the plans are to go very minimal and light weight.

here are just a few recent pics of how it stands, hoping to get it painted very soon.

thanks for looking
