I've found that life I needed.. It's HERE!!
I have an XR3i Cab Turbo, I've done quite a comprehensive conversion/re-shell. Things I look for on a good conversion:
1) Brakes - Are they XR3i spec - hopefully not
2) Running Gear -
a) Does it have the RS Turbo front ARB
b) Does it have a rear ARB
c) Does it have the correct rear wishbones if it does have the rear ARB
d) Does it have the RS turbo rear tie bars
4) Does it have an RS Turbo LSD box or better
Being a H plate I take it it's EFi?
What have you got left to sort? There's plenty of people on here that can help I'm sure!

They are good fun to drive in the summer, but crap in the winter. I owned one (kept the XR3i engine in, the way they should be kept) and owned a Series 2 at the same time.
I got to admit i got bored of it after a year or so and broke it for parts.... They just aren't as good as an RS turbo.
