Default 1986 MK2 XR2 - RS1800 Engine - Classic Ford Feature Dec 2017

I bought this as a painted rolling shell with no interior and an engine balanced in the bay but no interior back in 2013.

Car pretty much finished:

The interior i managed to find in Norwich was in fantastic condition and managed to get some new old stock floor mats:

Also got accepted for the international ford day so happy with that. Car will be in the 40 years of the fiesta area.

Basic Spec:
RS1800 Engine with H/O inlet (130bhp)
XR2 stock box - would like an LSD one
Puma shortened gear linkage
Magnex stanless exhaust including 4 branch
Induction kit
New injection fuel tank


All the rest is standard and the majority of it new.

Things i'd like to do:
Change the headlining - i know where to buy but haven't
Change the box to LSD one
Wire in the stock stereo
Paint the floor red so all the new stuff stands out as its black at present.
Fit a polybush kit i have
