Hi all

Thought it would be rude now to put up some pics of the cab i have just bought, its my first XR3i cab but i am a massive Ford fan, who has owned most things, including a couple of 2.8 capris and various big assed transits.

anyways enjoy the couple of pics i have taken so far, this is going to be a long term relationship so hopefull there will be a lot more as i get her sorted.

By the way the E500 is father in laws car, i am sorry but i love driving her too..

plans at the moment are just to get her cleaned up, she she spent a good long while in a workshop with the roof down by the looks of it, so i have given her a good clean down and polish.

Picked up some nice dog leg rs alloys for her last night so i can get rid of the ones that are on it.

they look good in the photo but have been hand painted black.......

 

Girlfriend is going to learn to drive in it and after that, i am undecided whether to bring her back completely original or slip a turbo engine in and all the bits that come with it.

 

got to have a look under it now and there it not a spot of rust. nothing! which is amazing really as its spent its life by the sea, sold on the channel islands and imported to the isle of wight 8 years ago.

ok so just a little update now i have spent some time with the old girl.

finding that all these missing bolts dotted around the car aint missing they have been snapped off! god only knows how or why on some of them..

Replaced the hand painted 17's with some RS wheels.

Tracking all put back as it should be.

Full balls out service, exhaust mountings, tyres and bearings

Also a team of 5 polish lads scraped off a years worth of workshop dust and scank inside and out. (lazy i know but they are cheap and there is a pub next door)

 

So all in all the small stuff is starting to come together!
