thought id put some pics up of my new little project, i swapped my black rs replica for this and im sooo happy with it so far.
the progress is gonna be very slow atm cause i havnt got any money with the price of insurance and all that put it will get there eventually.

anyway its a 1989 xr3i cabby with a mfi engine, atm everythings standard apart from the headunit and the wheels and the cars all pretty mint apart from a spot of rust on the drivers door shut but thats only surface rust

 

Nice base to start from ,whats the plans

 

not much, turbo bodykit, probs cut the front bumper out and put a lower valance onto it, 4" outward rolled exhaust maybe a turbo bonnet and recaros.
just keeping it quite standard but still different

 

This is only my opinion but please please please don't do any of the bodywork yourself this time.

No disrespect but I'd clean it up and keep it standard and only do things as and when you can afford to do it properly.

I just read your whole thread about the replica and it was all going so well until you started to touch the bodywork.

Again, only my opinion - good luck.

 

just spent a few hours cleaning the car round all the filldley little bits and that, and when cleaning the engine bay its even better that i first thought. from just a quick wipe over i have a completly concourseish engine bay everything is perfect and brand new except for the header tank i was really shocked

 

if you need owt i have a car breakin

rs bonnet, bumper, recaros, kit on ebay and all that jazz

looks very tidy, bet the insurance stings like hell

 

dude insurance is gonna be bad lol im 18 been drivin a year 1 years ncb and pass plus and mine is more than twice what i pay on my saph ! but very nice car dude looks clean

 

um not saying what excactly im paying on insurance but i bet what i pay a month is more than what a lot of people do a year, so yes its a lot but suprisingly its 37 quid a month cheaper than the replica was.
i know your breaking one atm nigel but ive got minus cash atm

 

no bother but is you do need owt shout me, plentys well cheap

got some quadlamps too cheap

 

i cant really update anything on this car cause i havnt done anything to it apart from put some clear indicators on and its now for sale cause ive moved out and cant afford to keep it anymore, but i do have a new car but i havnt got any pics atm its a pacifica blue mk2 orion 1.4 with cossie brakes recaros and i borrowed a set of ajustable konis off my mate and there on it too, oh and its on rs turbo wheels

 

Looks nice

i thought id just let you no how this project came to a end a few weeks ago as i havnt been online for a long time. it was just starting to get somwhere when one night i decided to go out in the rain. the car skidded out going round a corner up a kerb then went sideways into a lampost bounced off that and went down the road on its nose which resulted in half of the passenger side front wheel missing and the rest ripped off the chassis and embeded through the bulkhead. and a extremly twisted chassis. so all i can say is rip cabby

 

its bein broken on ebay

 

its been broke and is now in a scrapyard, i gave it to locke jst to get rid of the fucking car
