Default Mk3 2.0 16v throttle bodied project begins......

Just bought a mk3 XR3i in silver, its had a knock in the front but the main reason i bought it was its never been welded! its still got original battery tray and inner wings and there all mint. Its got 75,000 miles im the 4th owner so quite a good basis to start from. Heres some pics of its present state.........




So ive started buying myself xmas pressies already, i managed to get some gen ford wings and front panel off a guy from here then bought some smoked front and rear lights, a nice 3 spoke rs wheel, a set of koni's, a strut brace, some rs seven spokes and not forgetting a lovley set of..........


So next stages are to get it in the body shop for the panels to be put on and a full blow over then i can start to put all the bits on. Oh and waiting on the engine to be built as well. Let me know ya thoughts and if you got any ideas of other things to do to it id like to hear them.
