So after selling the Fabia for its own good since i wasnt using it I got myself something right at the other end of the scale.

half restored XR3i. everything has been replaced, repainted and in some cases made better. only thing left for me to do is sort out the niggles like some of the interior parts, electrics and a new clutch which is a piece of **** in these.

 

no decent pictures as of yet since I'm so busy with work.

 

 

 

Running 2 expensive cars is going to be...expensive.

 

 

 

Nice, are they RS1600 headrests?

RS1600 seats mate

Very nice.

I haven't seen one of those in a long time!

Me likey

Had loads of XR3's & 3i's, love them. My last XR3 i put in a poor man's Zetec Turbo (done with decompression plate) and running megasquirt.

Was a bit of a handful especially with no LSD but it put a bloomin' great smile on your face!

I'd be interested in the project thread

I'm pretty sure its the only one in Dorset on the road I've never seen one anyway. cheers!

I've been tempted into a zetec engine conversion but I'm not sure, I kinda like the charm of the CVH.

Nothing wrong with that, the CVH is still very tuneable.

 

Im in bother with the wife now - i want another XR3 now i've seen yours :think:

Hahaaa, brings back some memories ... Yes it does! Good luck with it, made me smile this cold and grey morning!

Very nice car!!!

Looks good.

 

You've been running two cars for a while though, can't be that much more expensive.
