good luck with the project, what look are you going for, either restore it to xr4i or keeping with the cosworth kit?

The 2.8 runs always, as long as the fuel pump is running. Mine stood for 9 years, replaced a few rubbers, cleaned my injectors, fired her up, and got a mot two days later, only the brakes wernt that good, and it needed some heavy braking, and it was okay!

Great car, i just only dont like the painted bumpers on the xr, but further it looks good!

Well done for saving another 4i, I was watching it on eBay. Looks a lot work there. You doing it all yourself? I personally think you should keep the pillar because there more 3door shells about than 4i shells. Good luck, gonna be watching this thread
