I have a real soft spot for the mk1 and mk2 xr2 hope it all goes well

Yeah I love a nice mk1 xr2 :grin:

My mate used to have a real fast one back in the day

Looks a little gem! Keep the updates coming. Good to see its being saved!

everything is there,the only thing that is missing is the cover from the boot lid what covers the wiper motor. any one got one spare.

Good luck, I really want one again.

had a spare night or two last week and got a bit more sorted out.http://i455.photobucket.com/albums/q...g?t=1360504201

Cheers

that's a very nice example my first one was sunburst red was thinking of going red with this one depending on how good the repairs turn out around the rear arches as black would show more. can you pm me with details of rear shelf thanks.
