Default A sad sad day.. bye bye E698 MRN!

Well im gonna hav 2 say goodbye 2 my 1st ford (my 1st car actually and im only 20).. My xr2 which id planned 2 do so much to is up4 sale.. see the for sale section!

Its not all bad news, as ive bought an F reg one for £350 which is mint,never welded,no dents,spot on body likes its rolled out the showroom. So the project will carry on but with this as a better base unit..

Ive gotta really put ma thinking hat on, would of been £900 for the resto work on ma current baby boomer but £350 for a minter is just the sensible fing 2 do. So the money saved there already (£550) is a set of compomotives or my avo coilovers..

Please tell me im doin the right thing coz im gonna cry when it goes,as i wrote this ma best m8 sed he might buy it.. so i may have her around for alot longer!
