	Hi, ive been on this site for a while so thought I would share my own retro ride with you all ;D. I bought it as a bit of a project, no mot etc and have been working on it for about 6 months so its not a quick turn around but as you all know time and funds are tight! I'm in no hurry and just tryed to enjoy working on it and now its not too far away from seeing the road again I would love any comments and tips from those in the know! How she looked the day I picked her up, the last time she will be seeing a wet road thats for sure Started striping... a bit roosty chopped out the rot ;D new metal in! stone guard on inner wings ;D bit of fabrication... and picked up a mint set of pots Thats how she sits for now, wings to be welded on soon....

	Always had a soft spot for XR2's having owned 3 over the years, would love one again but you can't pick them up for £300 anymore Cracking work there on rebuilding the front was always their achillies heel

	Looks like a good example and nice work, I miss my XR2 (and 2i to a lesser extent) May 6, 2011 16:12:36 GMT @weblefeck said: the xr2's worst enemy was its own body kit for rust Too right, mine failed an MOT on a bit of sill rust, took the arches/skirts off to find the outer shell barely attached to the floorpan as it had rusted under the kit so much
