Default MK1 XR2 Turbo project (UPDATE - 01/05/05 ITS ALIVE!!!)

I won this car on ebay for £410

its fooking SOLID, has the propper 5 spd conversion to the inner wing, turbo tank conversion, mk1/2 upper engine mount cvh conversion, front crossmember cut and weldeded proffesionally, everything chucked in, not propperly fitted really.


for £410 i HAD to buy it


got it home and its a propper chuck it together botch job

mk2 rear axle, which means the mk1 brake setup wont work on it and handbrake is useless, no mounting points on a mk1 for a mk2 handbrake setup. pisss

needs soo many little clips just to get things held in the right place

sump was FOOKED , been botched up with araldite , fitted a new one today

brakes are another matter, servo and master cylinder from a mk1 actually touch the dizzy and leads, so this needs moving, we have found out that the late mk2 xr2 stuff clears the dizzy considerably, so we will be going this route.

freed off everything while it was on the ramps to make things easier when we don't have use of them

few piccies, looks NOTHING different to how it was purchased but believe me we have put 40+ hours into this car already.....


the little things count




small dent in front wing

crossmember and front panel butchered !!!! fookin last owner tosser

sump off



Clean as fook

somewhere near

WHY THE FOOK DID YOU CHOP ALL THIS OUT YOU TOSSER ???


This car was in the scrappers for 8 hours before we Raped it completely , got EVERYTHING we could ever need of it for a fooking bargain price, but maybe we should have actually bought the fooker considering how long it took to get the bits.... 2 seperate 5 hour visits

Sid the helper on my double bed, HOW FOOKIN BIG

Tim at the Dilshad tonight, niiice curry




where we are upto now ....


trying to get s2 RST calipers to fit, which means making up our own brackets as a try and fail basis

we are getting there, once calipers and discs are fitted, all there is left to do is get the fooker running


lets hope and pray please


updates soon, with propper piccies
