Meet Casper the Caspian Blue Mk1 XR2
Hi folks, meet Casper, he's my new project. He's not exactly standard although he looks it.
He's a Mk1 XR2 IN Caspian Blue (hence the name Casper) with 76k miles on the clock, had a major body restoration in the past, he's bored out to 1700cc, has a fast road cam and an unleaded head fitted, twin webbers, 5 speed Escort box, spax suspension etc etc. Loads of bills for work done for thousands of pounds, and it's been done well too. He looks pretty standard externally, but as you can see he definitely isn't under the skin.
Not quite sure what I'm going to do with him yet, might just do a bit more on him and sell him, might track him, who knows.........
Anyway, I'll let the pics speak for themselves.
What does everyone think?
ps By the way, yes I do know the plates are illegal for road use, they will be being changed, I only got him last night.

Thanks for the comments guys.
We shall see....they're quite rare now, especially with these mods, so I don't want to see it getting stuffed into a wall. Great fast road car though.....I went out in it last night with the guy who was selling it and it flies.

Thanks for all the comments guys.
Lee, hope the sale goes okay.
Yes, I know what it's like mate, I did think about selling the Cossie because it's only been out the garage about 3 times this year, but I've changed my mind again, so I'll be doing a few fiddles over the winter.
And I've got this XR2 to play with as well, so that should keep me out of trouble.
