well as some off yous may know a bought a wee xr2 from england the other month damaged at the side and have finally got round to doing it , well started to strip it as someone had colour coded the kit which i want back to textured black as should be and got a set of rs2000 alloys so got them shot blasted and a repaited them which will also go on it .

anyway heres some pics

so done what your not ment to do with any old for , yip u guessed it.....took the kit of to see what we had under there

well..................the arches ,wings and sills were all original but after taping at a few rusty bits with ma panel hammer ordered 2 new wings , 2 rear arches and the front panel was damaged so also ordered one of them as no piont of doing all the work as well to do it right , as the floor pans , boot floor and inner wings are all good . with the car never having any welding before

my main idea was to fit a 2 litre zetec or turbo engine to the wee xr2 but have now went and bought a wee mk3 fiesta with 2 lite zetec so think it,ll stay with its little cvh for now

well some pics of it stripped as the floor and the sill was in a bit from the smash had to porti-power the sill and floor out but tryed the door on and all sitting well now

also some pics of the wee mk3 which was a car but is now getting turned into a van , just needs finishing off really . it was bought from down south also as stolen recovered but is a cracking shell which is rare find nowadays ,

so getting a new doors as was pulled out and damaged , had to small bits of rust going to whole on the sill so is getting a sill to

so will be getting 2 sides painted and apart from that just needs tidyed up like the ecu located rite , rev counter not working , minor little jobs

heres some pics of it

also got this in for a respray to in between doing the fiestas

Thats the game mate, both cars look ideal
Do you need front and rear bumpers for the mk3?...iv got a set off an xr if your interested

looking good - should keep you busy over the winter

good work mate - got a soft spoke for the wee XR2's like

ffs sorry mate a was bidding on that lol

been doing abit more to the 2 fiestas lately so thought its time for a wee update .

got the sill fitted to the mk3 but not happy with the way its sitting as was damaged on delivery but thought a could work round it but just not happy with it , so its getting chopped back of and another replaced , but cause of all the holidays parts are on hold so should hopefully get back on to it this week so been left in primer for just now ,

was chuffed with the condition of the inner sill on it tho , must have been all cavity waxed and proserved alot of the car .

with the mk3 being on hold waiting on parts got the chance to crack on an do abit to the xr2

so ripped the wings and the front panel of and found a few bits of rust so they got cut out and replaced by new metal

so today we lined up the front end which was a task to say the least but having the doors on and off to line every up a good few times and the headlights , indicators and everything on for a trial run before all welded in place got there in the end so heres some pics . 2moros jobs replace the back arches

Fiestas are getting there mate ,Look forward to seeing both when there finished

Both lookin good mate

cheers for the comments guys , a got a picture photoshopped of it to get an idea of what it will look like

so going to put the kit back to black as it should be and with the later rs2000 rims on it , hopefully looks as good as the picture

Looks hard as on those rims mate

looks lovely and professionally welded 2

looks great on those wheels
