hi guys not been on for a while but just bought a xr4i with rs500 kit fitted gonna be a long project but hopefully worth it in the end just got to source some bits pic to follow

 

 

see this on ebay ... think it looks ok on them wheels ..

good luck with the project matey

 

looks alot better in photos than it actually is but most of kit is genuine which is a bonus

 

good luck with the project mate

 

good luck with the project, what look are you going for, either restore it to xr4i or keeping with the cosworth kit?

keep the pics coming

cheers Matthew

 

gonna keep as it is i think but gonna have a proper look wednesday see what bits i need to source for it

 

well had a play with it today been stood since 2003 but put a fresh battery some fresh fuel and she cracked up second turn sounds sweet,needs 2 sills fitting and other bits but gave her a good clean pic to follow

 

 

The 2.8 runs always, as long as the fuel pump is running. Mine stood for 9 years, replaced a few rubbers, cleaned my injectors, fired her up, and got a mot two days later, only the brakes wernt that good, and it needed some heavy braking, and it was okay!

Great car, i just only dont like the painted bumpers on the xr, but further it looks good!

 

i was very surprised it started so easy

 

that's really nice just the wheels let it down imo

 

yes wheels will be going soon lol

 

 

Nice work mate... Will be great when finished..!

 

lets hope so got one piece of glass to find to do the rear window conversion aswell

 

Im too frightend to strip mine down lol

Steve

 

if it was mine id be leaving the back windows and putting a 4i rear spoiler on....

 

agreed, id even put the 4i kit back on with the cossy front bumper. 4i's are getting so rare now

 

cheers guys know what ya mean about the windows but would still cost a small fortune to return bk to a 4i

 

Well done for saving another 4i, I was watching it on eBay. Looks a lot work there. You doing it all yourself? I personally think you should keep the pillar because there more 3door shells about than 4i shells. Good luck, gonna be watching this thread

 

me and a couple of mates are rebuilding it

 

 

looking good, keep up with the progress

cheers Matthew

 

cheers

 

 

i must have been lucky with mine, keep up the good work, i don't think most people would of went to all the work and effort you have, well done.

Pete

 

thanks beats the boredom lol

 

Nice project and top work you have done. Nice to see one being saved and not stripped and binned as a cossie donor. Got 2 xr4s myself great cars.

 

cheers

 

Just a bit of tin worm then
