Purchased in august its a limited edition xr3i was originaly bottom half moonstone and the top half bahama blue but chassis plate was missing the bit with paint code and theres about 5 for bahama blue any idea of code
was stood in a barn for 8 years
doing a restoration so far got alot stripped purchased a mint roof and frame for Ł32
fully reconded roof motor and rams Ł40 still need alot more bits
found spare wheel well has holes and a few small ones on floor passenger rear not bad and arches are as new all original panels and windows still got to finish strip as having engine out respray
need lots of parts if anyone got bits they want to sell
Thinking fitting zetec but struggling getting my head round the ecu and wiring could do with a step by step guide
for example do i just plug the ecu in where mine is and swap wires at engine loom or am i on wrong lines
idealy would love to rs turbo it on efi but will cost too much as donor costs
My friend bought 4 cabs in that colour for his "fleet" of reps for a paper company, all 4 got nicked in the first year, one from inside a locked garage.
Yeah floors are good just some welding in wheel well and passanger rear floor and a little on scuttle windscreen lip
All panels original except bonnet which is a genuine turbo item
original battery tray etc
thinking keep original engine for now at least just rebuild for piece of mind while removed for respray
would like zetec but think it would be a shame to hurt the originalty
Going to spray it the original bahamma blue if i can work out the code one of five or azure blue what do people think
Swapped this for my last toy which i miss but didnt use enough and had 4 mk4 xr3i and 2 mk5 xr3i back in 90s but always wanted a cabby
Yeah i do really miss it but old skool fords drew me back and family can fit in so will get used more still trying to work out what there are i took off and dont know where from

Defo off roof, held on by two screws. I know because I literally unscrewed them 4 hours ago to remove a roof cover!! Lol (what's the chances of that!)
they go on leading corners of roof. ie if you undo roof and lift slightly, looking from the front back at roof they should go above the latch hook and screwed to frame! I'll take a photo and upload the pic when I get the chance !

I found fuel leak its the solid pipe fuel lines as they are rotten
where can i buy these or upgraded fuel lines or has anyone got any that they want to sell as desperate thanks
You will struggle to find genuine replacements tbh mate. May have to go the aftermarket braided route. I’ve just finished my cab so happy to help with anything mate, I have WhatsApp too

A great little project... I have a mk3 Escort Cabriolet with an RS Turbo engine in... I'm not a million miles away from you over in Lincolnshire, I work a lot in Doncaster too.... It doesn't look like this at the minute... Been off the road 3 years now, stuck in the garage!
Thats a georgeus car Have to meet up at some point nick welcome mine anytime would love an efi turbo but turbo engine etc cost a fortune if you can find them been toying with zetec while stripped but not sure on wiring at minute,
as i said welcome anytime pointers appreciated
