Just though id post a few pics of my car as i have just finished a very long 5 month rebuild. I bough the car already converted to ERST running gear however it didnt run thanks to a cracked block (no anti_freeze).

Some goodies on the car are: Stage 3 hybrid, Pace charge cooler, Uprated bottom end, Gas flowed Head, Full Koni ajustables etc.

A few pics of when i collected it










And as it is now
























Just a few little things to do now.
Comments welcome, good or bad

 

love the color coding with the paint, ive always said the MK2 looked wicked.

 

Looks really great, nice choice of color!!

 

Thanks it’s a new 2004 ford color called "Street Silver" and the bodykit is "Medium Charcoal Grey"

 

Looks fookin lovely to me mate....

 

cool asfuck mate.

 

very very nice car mate,

 

looking good mate, cant say its a colour i would choose first, but i like it, its differnt and the body kit colour sets it off nicely.
nice to see the engine bay done, alot of people skip that.
keeping the standard look to (like the delocking etc on boot), cant beat the mk2 look, something about it, but i would say that as i had loads of xr2's and love fiestas.

few thing i would of done............
colour coaded door handles
colour coaded petrol cap
had the bonnet hing sprayed.
(no offence intended)

keep up the good work mate and keep us posted on any more bits you do to it.

the project i would love to do but having the time, space or money really is a 4x4 cossie lump in a mk2 xr2
but wanna get a escort cossie next year so it wont happen

 

Love the colour mate

Looks mint

 

Love it mate - totally spot on!

Another Scottish member too - nice one!

 

That is Art!!!
Its stunning, so sutle yet so effective!
We need to get a scottish meet up-what you think?? My mk2 fez is almost finshed, pics up soon!!!!!

Minted mate!!!!!!!!

 

Random question-What brakes you got on it????

 

looking good mate! the colours work well together

 

Thanks for the comments guys

The brakes are reconditioned XR2 with drilled and vented discs,fast road pads. Got a set of ERST calipers sitting in the garage ready to be fitted once I can get some money to buy some decent discs. Thinking about using cossie discs with brackets but havent decided yet.

 

Love it mate! Looks well smart!

 

looks great

 

looks good m8

 

Though i would post some more pics of the rebuild seeing as its had a good reaction.





























This is what happens when a boot seal leaks in a car the sits off the road for 6 months. The rest of the shell is solid THANK GOD!







































Thanks for looking

 

mate, thats cool as fook, well done mate, 5 months wow,

 

I love it! The color most of it!

 

yea that is impressive i love the dash looks factory

 

Well impressed!!! love the way the boots floor was just removed!! class!!!

good job mate and in record time!!!

 

Very nice m8 lots of good work gone in there

 

like the car mate and i think the colour go realy well together, good choice. how hard woz it 2 build the boost gauge pod as it looks the bullox wot charge cooler r u runnin? woz it tight 2 fit?

 

Looks lovelly mate, ALLOT of work went into that, my mate will love it when i show him

 

The boost pod was easy, but only because I have done that sort of thing before, it just takes time really. The charge cooler I have fitted is a Pace one. It was a bit of a tight squeeze meaning I had to move Rad, Metering head etc plus make a custom bottom boost hose and various brackets. HTH

 

Mario,
Looking good mate keep it up !!

 

that is the fooking bollox mate

well cool
