Just recently bought this. Although it doesn't look like this anymore. Needs some serious tlc to bring it up to this standard. Some might know the car it has came with a serious amount of history. My plans are get the welding done over the winter then start piecing it all back together. Work needed is front and rear chassis legs, fuse box area, under scuttle above the battery tray, outer sills at the rear, rear arches and the back panel. I'll put updated pics up when I get the shell home next weekend.

 

That's 2 of us with fresh rst projects lol, good luck mate

 

tidy ,miss my old series 2 it was red as well my chassis legs at the rear where fkd so decided to brake the car . 2 years later i missd it so much i bought a mk3 xr3i,lol

 

break,lol

 

Nice car.Any pics of what it looks like now.

 

This used to belong to my late brother in laws nephew, he sold it onto a friend of mine who is ford mad. It spent a good few years around lincoln untill Danny sold it. Used to get polished every time he came home in it. (rented a room off me and drove the neighbours mad cleaning it at silly oclock) danny had it about 13 years ago iirc.
Will make him aware of this thread.

 

Picked up the shell today so pics of how it looks and the work I have ahead of me. Its a lot of work but i'm not in a hurry to get it dones as I have other projects to finish first.

 

Looks like alot of work mate

 

A friend of mine owned this a few years back maybe around 2006ish... was running a 2.0zvh!

 

 

 

 

these photos are 14 years ago when the car was mint

I had that car too. Before it went to elgin. Good history with it.

Good luck with the project, its a lot of work there

 

here are some pics when i got it in sept 2011. it was a non runner so i got her running all be it not very well, the piston rings were gone and the block had a crack in it. i eventually used the head/turbo and loom to turbo my xr2.
i still have the rear bumper and bonnet hinges and dash for it. i broke it and sold it as a rolling shell to a lad who had a worse condition h plater and he was going to put his stuff in this one



s1 intercooler?



i did regret selling it once it had gone

 

you got a lot of work to do but it be worth it nice to see another one getting saved

look forward to the updates
