Default Xr3 project

Hello guys. I'm karl 24 from Yorkshire. Tried to find a newbie section to introduce my self but couldn't find one so thought I would do it here along with my project. Been after a old car for a while and came across this xr3 witch brings me memories from when the old man had one. Here she is . Hope you all like and hope to find out a lot more about these
