Guest laurence Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 well here goes some more its a 16i cabby not an xr3i so what decals do we use I cheated and put the mk3 rs1600i decals on but I thought its got the rs kit on and its down as a 16i so that wasnt cheating and then the wheels were my own choice plus a set of toyo prada tyres more pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chaz Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Welcome to the club mate, good on you for putting her back on the road, she's looking much happier now. One other thing the 16I is an XR3I, Ford did not badge them in the first few years to keep the insurance down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest shaun Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 Hi Laurence must say as other's have cab looks really nice.you have done really nice job..I think the rs 16i decal's are nice touch on the side not many around with them on. What plans do you have for the engine? enjoyed looking at the work you have done shame i didn't take photo's of mine before i started..... Can remember doing my cabbie about 8 years ago that started as just 16i.Bought after some scumbag tried to have Bonfire inside.So when i got it most of the interior was burnt.The inner roof skin was no longer there but outer skin was still water tight and did not leak.So like most started to build with another wiring loom, windscreen which had cracked due to heat,another dash and interior and clean (my limo black tinted due to smoke) windows.All my parts came from my 90 spec xr3i(hard top) and to finish let my other half pick paint which was alfa romeo pearl blue.
