FANTASTIC!!! Especially the detailed work on the suspension, the gearbox etc.

I bought many new parts but it looks like you changed every screw...

That is fooking gorgeous mate

And how good does all that rear suspension and back plates look

Sunburst red was def the best colur for Mk3's, had a couple of XR3i's this colour a lot of years back and loved all of them Hence the reason i now have one to restore myself !!! Well next best thing...its an XR3 so even rarer
