my mate just turned up in his XR2 TT

finally repaired and painted after a skip driver drove into it outside my house last year. Dickhead

this car is an original turbo technics and has been round a few of my mates before turning up in Stu's hands who owns it now, and he's done a blinding job on it


I So fooking want another one, quick as fook and handle like go-karts .


Some piccies....


when it was finished last time ....





then Mr skip driver decides he wanted to modify it





6 months of hibernation and this is the result











i think it looks fooking great, different colour really sets it off in sunlight and rear spoiler blended in looks well


sorry pics are shite, taken on my phone


Now where can i get one thats not rotten ?

Hardeep_Singh

cfoster

that looks proper mate!! What colour blue is it matey?? BMW Estoril or that Saxo blue or something???

XR-RS

Vauxhall Arden blue, as they put on the astra/zafira gsi. they all look similar the bmw,audi and vauxhall blue but this changes a bit in natural light. the paint guy said its not a pearl but it works a bit like one if you see what im trying (badly) to explain,lol.

Adam I can already see a few things different to how TT made them in your mates engine bay

lamar69er

I've got the XR2 bug, my old one handled like a dream! Pitty most of them have got the rot bug!!!

I quite fancy a high power'd XR2 rear-wheel drive... I wreckon that would be quite interesting!!!

Currently sorting the boot fuel cell and pump setup on mine with a load of aeroquip goodies then it's off to the exhaust fabricators, then it's all going back in with the dry sump'd Zetec on throttle bodies! I can't wait to get back behind the wheel again!
