Try posting in the technical section instead of clogging up this mans resto thread more people are likely to see it.

Good work mate keep it going!!
Ive just done all the welding on my xr2 and now im just trying to finish all the little jobs! Its on here 3 or 4 pages back! Took me ages to weld it up as it wanted every bit of xr2 welding as usual!
Zetec engine will make it fun and let you rev the nuts off it!!
Keep it up as these little cars are becomming thin on the ground!!
