I don't know why I bought it and I don't know what I'm going to do with it

All I do know is I do love a MK3.









I did have a quick look in the workshop and found an over-rider and a pair of orange indicators so popped them on.



And I did find a set of Wilwoods for an absolute bargain.



I won't be doing anything to it, though, until the RS Turbo is finished. I know that much.

It's a 1982 XR3 shell. CPU 474X if anyone has any info on it. It's pretty clean. Had a new front panel, battery tray, both front wings at some point and a few patches on the floor, but looks in good nick undernieth at the rear.
There's a few small areas that I want to sort, need to investigate fusebox area, some small bubbling on the scuttle and rear panel but it's a tidy car.
It's been painted, but I'm unsure what colour, so will need to take a mirror down to the paint shop to get a match mixed. Although, it is very similar to frozen white when I compared it to the Focus.
Currently it's just a bare rolling shell, but it is polybushed, bronze tint glass all round and on S1 wheels.

I also quite like the black number trims but unsure yet if they work with the S1 arches.

Fancy doing something different with it when the RST is finished, like a RWD conversion, but for now, it's just sat in the workshop with a cover over it.

 

We've all done it, my van was an impulse buy, look at the thing now lol

Look forward to seeing progress.

 

That would be brill to reshell my cabrio into. lol

 

that looks a mintymint shell mate

 

Very nice one buddy.
