Default My Little Project ~ Fezzie XR2i 2.0 16v **Sun 10th Sept**

Well i got me a winter car and prob a run around while the cabbies resting its boots during the summer months too

Bought from Paddy for a tidy sum......

106,000miles and still runs sweet as



I've had it for about 2 weeks now and was itching to do some "little" bits too it.......


So............out with the old (and knackered!!) and in with the new(ish)


Managed to get a full G-Max suspension kit for £100 ponies


Not the best i know, but cheap is what i do best and its certainly better than the 100,000 mile stuff that was still on there





Off with the "Blowing like a hoe" zorst........







And on with a nice new shiney Mongoose






Done and it fits like a glove



Another big thanks to Liam for helping me out............Yet again.

Thanks mate

I got a few plans up my sleeve, you'll just have to keep watching

And NO there WILL NOT be a restoration on this
