Howdy all, long time lurker here. Been a huge fan of old Fords for years and finally took the plunge into ownership.

Thought i'd start a thread for the old girl. She's been called Sheena by my gf as it sounded "like an 80s name" whatever that means!



Apologies for iphone pics, will take better ones soon.

It's a 1989 XR3i Tennis. Quite rare i believe and very well spec'd for the year too. Has a huge file of history and only 70 odd thousand miles. Was previously owned by a bloke on this forum who carried out a lot of work on the car.

Modification wise it has Koni ajustables, fully polybushed, magnex 4 branch and full system and some lovely RS 7 spokes.



Plans for the car are to tidy it up, it's so good that it could be an absolute minter with a bit of time and money which i plan on doing. Already started stripping and cleaning the engine bay and sent a few bits off for paint.



Left work an hour early today so i could get the interior out it and back into the garage before it was dark so it's sitting in the garage ready to strip a bit more to clean and try sort a water leak. The joys of a 1989 convertible



Any help on where to start looking regards the leak would be appreciated, i appreciate there are a milion possibilities but any common spots? Battry tray has been done and fuse box area perfect.

Will update with better pics as i go, cheers for looking folks.
