XR2 project
Ive recently bought a mk2 XR2 for a bit of a project over the next few months.Just thought id take some pics of it as i go along and share it with people on here.Im hoping to make it mint and look as good as it did when it left the showrooms.Anyway here are the pics so far
pics of when i first got it
solid prtrol cap area
needs a headlight!
i stripped all interior to see how much rust it actually had, and was very supprised at what i found!!
cleaned the carpets & they came up quite well 8)
then today i finally got round to buffing the body and giving it a good polish
just need to get it in for its MOT and keep my fingers crossed

re fitted them along with a new rocker gasket then gave the engine a bit of a clean
before cleaning
after a bit of a jet wash

managed to find a mint parcel shelf
i striped the front down and got rid of the tiny bit of rust under the lights
car looked nice now but the bodykit was looking faded now so i decided to spray it all using some plastic paint that is the same colour as the factory finish
Then built it all back up and painted the grill as it was previously brush painted in red
and just a couple of interior shots
but now it looks nice im afraid im selling it because ive been offered a series 2 RS turbo that needs a bit of work
