I'll put the rest of it on my photo bucket

I was told mine was a motorsport shell although i never put much mileage into it as i knew about the non-custom thing and the previous owner didn't

The rest of them should be there soon

wot sort of nick are your non customs in apart from a bit on bulk head and boot the body is mint on mine the underside looks like new one of the lads in the club seams to think its because that the shells are built on a different line they are using better steal and better sealed

Am I right in thinking some of the very early S2's came with bronze tinted glass and not the normal green tint?

i know its a bit different but back in the day my dad bought a brand new rs1600i motorsport shell and built his own rs1600i from new parts this had no sunroof and was a lot stronger than the road going versions , wish we still had it now but he sold it and some dick had a sunroof cut in it then left it running outside his house in a dodgy area with the drivers door wide open and some thieving cunt was off with it some cunt abused the shit out of it and burnt it out wankers

get some resin and paint it on them on the inside mate, the hardboard they're made out of soaks it up quite nicely and you could hit mine with a hammer and they wouldn' budge

Yes thats correct, its the same with the xr3i´s
The xr3i i have is an 86 model with bronze tint windows and with the same bootlid as the mk.3, not the spoiler though but the bootlid and wirering are ecxactly the same as my old 83 xr3i. It has connectors to the wirrering pretty close to where the lock is, anyway any one who has an mk.3 model know what i meen
