Nice pics. The weather in a strange way suits the pics with the car being gray. Would be nice to see some on a nice day

XRdodgybird

cheers for comments so far, i will be printing off my xroc membership form on payday this week (thanks to a brand new exhaust system coming in the post(standard bosal part), and a cambelt/tensioner and waterpump also lol)

i absolutely love driving it, its never really been thrashed but i had a dam good bit of fun chasing the tail of a c2 vts on the way up to the quarry for the photos, she handles lovely with new rear gas shocks and decent tyres, i think i will keep it as long as it lives.. im currently considering adding a rs turbo of simular age/condition to my driveway

very nice mate, i just picked a black 3i up aswell, 1 owner from new, keeping that looking standard aswell.

skypeller

awesome well done mate, i love seeing them buzzing around standard ...as much as i admire a modified rs turbo ...i think the xr3 is best left alone, only minor mods can do justice imo

steve st220

very true mate, mines on a G plate aswell but its an early 1 with the 89 spec.

very nice

ooo nice i did like the mfi engine, is it crossover with efi engine or mfi? ive had a fair share of xr;s and never get bored, turbotime now though now i have some cash in the bonk, may have to sell my 328coupe though to make room :-/ oh well ford bug is here again

declan morris

very nice indeed, had loads of 3i's and loved them all, would love another mercury grey 90 spec one

Benni

Absolutely love it!

its the mfi version





just replaced the battery tray, its got a few little bubbles on the passenger rear arch so
going to fit a new 1 then it'll be totaly rust free.

skypeller

cheers for showing the pics up, looks really smart and looks solid, slam panel etc looks good like mine, my battery tray is mint and all the front end is like new....only needs a passenger arch eventually...which i will prob get done by a bodyshop because i wont be able to have car in my garage for long enough. i have a tiny bit of rot coming on the driverside chasis rail where it runs under the rear seat but mot guy said it was still solid, and i have done a really neat patch on the sill at the back of drivers side.
new exhaust should be on tommorow should be nice im just hoping i wont loose the rasp :-/.....its got loose baffles in the centre box at the moment so sounds a bit pants on idle hence the new system
