new here and starting a restoration on a mk1 xr2 will keep pics coming.



in a standard form alot of bodywork to do.

big ugly patch behind drivers wing.
even worse after patch removed,held together with silicon and underseal.

started to repair floor while waiting for repair panel for door post to arrive.

floor repaired just needs ground down and zinc primered.

starting to repair area around door post and inner wing.

 

I have a real soft spot for the mk1 and mk2 xr2 hope it all goes well

 

Yeah I love a nice mk1 xr2

My mate used to have a real fast one back in the day

 

Looks a little gem! Keep the updates coming. Good to see its being saved!

 

everything is there,the only thing that is missing is the cover from the boot lid what covers the wiper motor. any one got one spare.

 

Good luck, I really want one again.

 

had a spare night or two last week and got a bit more sorted out.





inner wing nearly done and got started removing the old sill.

 

Lovely to see another mk1 getting the loving.

Good work for saving it

nice to see it being saved, black 1s r thr best!

 

most of the drivers side finished waiting to get the spot welder fixed to finish sills and wheel arches in the mean time started cutting the rust out the passenger side.



having the spit makes an easier job.


the floor in the drivers side finished.

inner wing cut out waiting for repair panel welding in.


flinch panel and door post removed. got the door post repair panel. will have to start from scratch with the flinch panel as so far I have found this unobtainable (any one got one please)

 

Good look with the restoration, I'll have a look about see if I've got any bits left to help you out, defo got a mint parcel shelf though,

Here's a few of my old one









Cheers

 

that's a very nice example my first one was sunburst red was thinking of going red with this one depending on how good the repairs turn out around the rear arches as black would show more. can you pm me with details of rear shelf thanks.
