Hi Folks welcome!


I bought this XR3i nearly 4 years ago and never got round to doing anything with it due to other projects on the go. But this year (halfway through ) is THE year (maybe) that I get it finished!







so the plan is to build it up as a car I can use for autotests, sprints and trackdays and generally beat on instead of using my daily drivers as I have done in the past.


no idea what an autotest or autosolo is? it is the cheapest form of organised motorsport you can do it can be done in a standard road car with no expensive safety equipment needed and no special licence required. cheaper than a trackday and bloody good fun! some pictures:









So the plan.


1)welding/ rust removal (I can't weld very well)
2)build a custom loom for the car (never done this before)
3) zetec (never done an engine swap, other than like for like)


progress should start this coming weekend with the commencement of welding which should be a learning experience. I will be using this thread and hopefully some encouragement and advice from you lot to get it finished.


thanks for reading
Mike
