my xr3i project **09.03.2007** sold
 
well here it is the nutta's new project, well ive gotta be one to take this on :cry:
this time its a mk4 mfi xr3i it needs alot doing to it, it looks like its gonna be pretty rusty underneath it and its filled with rubbish and about 10 bags of old out of date pies but im not gonna complain at £100 :cry:

any way the pics

i got this pair of bucket seats cause this ones gonna be stripped out and light weight, oh they are the same size but in this pic one was tilted forwards so it looks big not bad for £50 aye :cool:

https://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e...nutta/n3i5.jpg

and as you can see theres a load of dents all over it which need sorting and it needs new headlights and a rear antiroll bar on the pass side, and cause i was only borrowing those 3i wheels as somthing to roll it on i straight away got the black turbo wheels on :eek:
