Thankfully you can't even spell 'concours'

Definately the second one! nice lightweight and simple (therefore cheap to run)
little pocket rocket. Fook the hassle of sticking a Yb in it!

Enjoy

Going to all the trouble and expense of RWD'ing it won't add much to its value and will limit its resale market at the end of the day.

Yeh been looking into it tonight,and i can get my hands on most of the bits VERY QUICKLEY!!!!!!!!

Plus as said,its going to be a long wait if we have to tunnel it all out,then cossie back end,and all that greif if i go RWD!!

think of the power to weight ratio of a 250bhp MK1 XR2 with just a cage and a seat in it!!!!

Move over 330bhp cossie!!!!

BLOODY HELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just saw this post and i thought that some1 had hacked my account and stared something!!!!

The car was tracked a few times,and all caged up etc etc on slicks and koni`s,but i had another cossie,and needed the garage so i sold it to Lon Langley off here..

Was a FANTASTIC little car,and sooooooooooooooo much fun!!!!

Highlight was dragging it to Combe,with just a gearbox and bottom end in it,then havin parts brought to me from all over the place that id tracked down,and built it all up,it started,and never got turned off all day!!!






Few more piccys of it...

http://photobucket.com/albums/v12/wa...XR2/?start=all

And yes i still have the 3dr.Theres a 3page link in the resto section if you wanna have a look..
