I'd like to finish my XR2 by end of April when the MOT is up on the RST so I'll have a car to use while I take the RST off the road, before then I need to......

• Finish off all the welding
• Get the underneath all undersealed
• Respray
• Wheel Refurb
• RR Tune

When the MOT runs out the S2'll come off the road untill the summer and will be treated to ....

• New Header tank to replace the one that was sprayed blue by someone
• Full Respray
• Wheel refurb
• Mongose Exhaust
• Front mounted intercooler
• Alloy rad (possibly)
• RR Tune

They'll never be finished

Hmm Hoping to get the engine bought and fitted, fuel lines renewed in aeroquip and the rest of the electrics tidied and sorted. Once running it will be driven like I stole it and and weak points sorted before drift practice at the end of the year I was hoping to get to NURBURGRING next September but may put that off till I know the car works (and I know the car ahem)
Then no doubt steering mods as I run out of lock and L8 wasted spark and Closed loop.
and in 2007...

Mark - don't worry too much about renewing those fuel lines in aeroquip.

The ones in the car were Ford motorsport items (standard 909 fit), and replacing them with aeroquip (unless you're going PTFE lined) wont make any difference.

Speak to you in the new year!
