Ok thought i would start a resto thread on the xr3, we have had the car for a while now and was looking a bit tired so we thought it could do with a new lease of life
First stage was to strip down to a shell

Then it was time to scratch build the body kit




A friend produced the stickers









You can just see the tow cover

The interior will get a full make over.


Grille being converted to s1 item still work in progress

Parts in primer ,any bits that are wrong can be easily spotted and rectified





Will keep the updates coming as they happen

 

nice one man

will be a good wee addition to your collection when done

 

PMSL, when I saw the first pic, I thought that looks like a model car. But I then realised that your garage is larger than it looks, with an extremely high roof...

That's got to be the first rot free shell I have seen in years.

Good luck with the project, and keep up the updates..

 

Dave you HAVE to get Carbon Phill to make a roof and bonnet

 

lol!! i was expecting it to be a proper car.....got myself confused!!

Who makes them/sells them?

 

Was following the thread on www.seriesoneturbo.co.uk great work Dave

The arches have taken a while yes!! Its a sunstar xr3 that we are using for the base sourced a 1600i front spoiler from Germany along with the recaros, Moza has been in contact with sunstar and the good news is with his help a 1600i model is coming out next year!!!!!!!and hopefully a series one too!!!

 

LOL, just sitting here with hayley and said " fuckers, they kept that quiet! "
