1990 XR2i and my girlfriends 1983 Capri 2.0S

nice, i used to have an xr2i exactly like that, sadly i took the kit off and discovered dreaded utter tin wormy death

This ones pretty solid it was owned by a couple from new and only has 57k on it ;D iv had the kit off and theres still solid metal behind it lol

Get on, I finally badgered you into joining. Prepare to find your head full of inspiration and your pockets very very light. Still need to put some pics up of my sierra, should be picking it up on Wednesday now due to a little issue with the insurance company, but all sorted now. Incase any one is interested; my maxi is for sale, look it up in the cars for sale section, under Austin maxi 2 1750hl...

Nice, I've just bought SWMBO an XR2i for Christmas and I'm just starting to weld it up, yours is TIDY!
BTW love Mikeys Transit, it's awesome that it works for a living.
Have I seen that Capri around Torbay?

Update for the xr2i and the capri the xr2i is having repairs early in The new year, then il be treating it to a fourbranch manifold to match my ashley system thats on it already, a k&n filter, lowering it 40mm, braided brake hoses, drilled and grooved discs, greenstuff pads, a set of 90 spec rs turbo recaros. As for the capri we are haulling together various parts over winter ready to fit in the summer, my girlfriends also sujested we have a go at building a tweeked pinto which will be a good learning exsperience.

i cant wait til summer so we can drag the capri out of hibernation just wish i was insured to drive it :-( women have all the luck when it comes to car insurance 300 quid for my misses on her own 1000 if she puts me on as a named driver, how is that fair? oh well i got the fez to hoon around in :-D

Yh she's a solid old beast! :-D the paintwork is all good too we are just replacing a few parts that are past their prime.

ah i was gonna say its nice to see a pure standard xr2 mk3 fezza, but never mind lol. still a beauty though

I did try keeping it standerd i managed six months (i usually get rid of cars within six months lol) i just get bored, wheres the harm in a few upgrades here and there, and I'm keeping all the origanal parts back so it can be put back to standerd within a day if i wanted :-)
