My xr2 resto project......a little update
 

JUST REMOVED ALL THE BODY KIT FROM MY XR2 AND FOUND THAT WHAT WE PREVIOSLY THOT WAS 2 PATCHES OF WELDING TOO THE REAR OFF THE OUTER SILLS (THE ONLY BITS ITS HAD 2 NOW...LOL) WAS ACTUALLY A BIT OF TIN BONDED ON THEN FILLED AND UNDERSEALED:angry::angry::angry:
IT JUST MAKES ME WONDER HOW LONG ITS BEEN LIKE THAT AND HOW MANY MOTS ITS BEEN THROUGH LIKE THAT AS I PULLED IT OUT WITH A SCREWDRIVER WITH NO EFFORT AT ALL....

MUST HAVE BEEN MOT'D BY STEVIE WONDER.....LOL

Get more pics up mate.

looks good that mate keep it up

thanks, i would put up pics as my laptopis full of them but i cant seem too manage.....doh:roll:

if anyone can explain as ive gave up now and i would like too no what evr1 thinks

upload the pics from your lap top to a site called photo bucket, when they are on there all you do is select the pic, then a drop down list will come at the bottom, choose the bottom of the list, copy it then open the forum window and paste it into the writing space and leave a gap between each pic, hope this helps?

just loaded up photos on photobucket and i still cant seem too make it work:wall::wall::wall:

hi there nice to see some more people restoring another xr2 im just doing a xr2 my self but was after some advice im after the self ajuster for the rear brakes do you know where to get them from tryed most motor factors and got no where damain..

Looking great, mate - keep up the good work saving another XR2 :top:

As for colour, I see where you're coming from about the new Focus RS 'Ultimate Green', and it would look superb, there's no doubt, but personally I'd be going for one of the OEM colours, so Red, Blue, White, Silver or Black - just my own opinion, of course :)

At the minute im thinking it would be cool in a dark grey, but to be honest its up to you.

Dan

sorry bud but not too sure where you would find them,ebay mayb or a breaker if your lucky....gettin parts is getting harder all the time...

as for colour i still dont no but all thots will be considered:top::top::top:
