hi everyone new on here and looking at buying a mk1 xr2. I have had my eye on the won parked down the road from me black xr2 all standard so i knocked for it and the man said he wants to get ride of it.
Its hase been in his front garden for 10 years after and uninsured driver hit the front wing and bent the steering rack against the kurb from what i can see it needs two new wings and a steering rack and a respray the car looks pretty soildbut need to jack it up and have a look underneath he said it was a runner when he took it of the road but has bueen parked on grass under a tree . Just want to no what everyone think it could be if any help would be great

Get it bought as if you get it cheap enough you won't loose your money as they are rare now and really sought after!

Get some pics up!

yeah iam gona get a few pics when i go and see it next the plan is to put zx12r engine in back is it worth it or shall i try and find a 1.1 mk1

Restore it to original condition if you buy it! Don't see many MK1 XR2's now and it'll be a waste cutting the back out to stick an engine in!

Buy it, restore it, sell it, then buy a standard MK1

could it be this one ?

connect lol

yh thats the one y do u now the man

+1 dont ruin it if you buy it bring it back to its former glory

connect lol

yeah might have a look at the super sport on ebay dose seem a shame to cut the back out

Java=Blue

nah dont know it, its in the 'Abandoned cars thread' on here lol.. does look a bit neglected

you got any pics of it ?

connect lol

na hvent got no pic off it but if the man rings me ill let u no and ill get sum pics

gouch1

cutting a supersport up is more of a crime then cutting up a xr2 why not just buy a standard one if your gonna chop it

connect lol

sorry i dont think it is a super sport its just a 1.1

buy it and restore it back to origional condition . All the bike engines ones that have been built never get used and get sold every few months . Might be decent on a track but not for the road

Mk1 XR2s are pure classic potential. I vote for former glory spec. That exhaust note is something special IMO. I had one 20 years ago and not many cars have come close for smile per mile.

looks like i wont be geting it now anyway brought a mk1 1.1 popular

parked on grass for 10 years its going to be rotten as anything underneath, also being a sunroof model the gutter around the sunroof drains into the sills which have small holes in them to let the water flow out, parked under a tree chances are they will have blocked up a good 9 years ago, you may get lucky, but i would put serious money on the shell being beyond economical repair but if you can get it cheap enough it would make a good source of parts and trim for the one you bought

2 new wings will cost a fortune mate plus it will need a monumental amount of welding, it'll weigh nearly 2 ton once you've finished. But if you save it from the scrap man you'll be a hero

That is only round the corner from me.it looks rotten to the core scrap yard is the best place for it I'm afraid...

Scrap yard is never the place for a mighty mark 1 fiesta! old fords shouldnt die!!!!, and the bike engine is no way to go, by the time you spend all the cash on the conversion you can buy a race prepped X-flow from vulcan engines that will blow the doors off of the bike engine!, plus they handle like a bag of spanners unless you spend serouis cash!, i would honestly steer away from cutting it up and putting in a bike engine go for 1.8 silver top zetec with good management and jevenny's or stick with the race X-flow plenty of power in both!, and no rear suspension issues to deal with just slam it on a set of coil overs then off you go!.
