my new xr2i

right then lets start at the beging then lol, heres some pics of how it was when i bought it, only paid 50quid for it aswell








well when my old car gave up i started to getthis road worthy gotit all done in a week and transformed it from what you see above to what you see in the pics below



























and i go the following bits to fit and the car is going to be changing big style in the next year







will keep uyou all updated, the engine has had a few mods done.

nice car mate, not so sure of the bad boy bonnet tbh but still a good car! nice to see the lex-arse lights got removed lol can't wait to see how this goes!

Looks like you've done a good job of tidying it up so far, im not keen on the badboy bonnet either. Can see why you only paid 50quid for it though!!

lol yea well the bonnet going to a half bad boy bonnet with louves i now starting to make the louves at work, also getting rid of the mcr front bumper for a normal xr2i bumper and the 17" are going because they are crap for the performance look good but there going in favour of 15's.

very nice

love it mate i remember u showing me those first pics a while back on old forum , was a good buy for £50 ,

just out of interest has it been resprayed ? how much can you get your car(s) sprayed for?

na i didn trespray it but depending what colour and what paint to cost ,i just pay for the paint etc and a crate of beer lol

as i been saying in my old car thread this is goign to change majorly in the next 4 months, wheels, interior and exterior all going for a revamp, then it will be the turn of the engine

im considering my blue fiesta being sprayed mate , could you pm me more details , or let me know on msn?

yeah mate can do i mean tell me what colour and i can find out how much he do it for

lol bargain for £50

CNT COMPLAIN 4 5O QUID

right been hard at it when i got in from work, decided i was going to fit my 4 point harnesses, but also i decided that the eye bolts for the clips on the harnesses looked very weak and unsafe so i made my own , is pic below tell me what you think of them.


once they were in, stripped all the old seat belts out front and back and then took the bottom of the back seat out, all the back seats and stereo will be going oce i can get my rear strut brace fitted to the car, which will be the weekend, anyway heres a few pics of the finished article

looks gd mate

sweet nice recaros mate look in good condition too

Chap, Im pretty sure those seat belt mounts will fail a MOT for being too weak. Also they will definitly fail on the one point between the seats. Each side needs a mounting point, I know this as I ve fitted 6 point harnesses and was told it by the MOT station

cheers mate will make up some out of 6mm round asap and make a double one for the middle, but i have to say they are strong, cant bend then or move them even with a hammer

Im sure they are strong but imagine your body weight being propelled forward and it all been on the pressure point which will be the eyelet, its a far greater amount of force than a hammer and is it really worth the risk?

right been busy on the car in the last couple of days so thought i best update, stripped the interior out and fitted the rear strut brace and also ben smoothing another front bumper for the car. as the mcr one is going.










will be more updates soon.

will be getting proper harness fixings but going to weld them in so they strong enough to cope

looks good mate , some good progress there , you will have to teach me to weld some time

yeah mate can teach you its not that hard once you know the theory behind it

you got that at a bargain lol nice car btw

right then, got al little update for you all, been hard at it today. i managed to get new front bumper primered on thursday night, and put the top coat on it this morning so heres some pics for you




and the i decided to start on the interior and i must have taken another 30+kg out of it today lol







well tell me what you think.

the carpet will be coming out very soon and so will the rest of the sound deading, but going to wait to do carpet till i get my bucket seats and do it all then

gna b a nice lil car tht .

wat else u planning on doing in future?

well i did a few bits to the car on saturday, fitted my new rocker cover



also finished the front bumper, will be fitting it this week as the bloke that has bought my mcr front bumper is coming to pic it up saturday morning.

and i have also made a small purchase of the following items tonight

nice buckets mate , nice new tidy rocker cover too , works a treat with styling under the bonnet!
