Hi, this is my car, rebuilt it myself.
She was 25 years old last month

The only thing i can think to say is : Ooooooooft !!!

Clean machine! Can't remember the last time I saw a mk2, kudos for restoring it to such a high standard.

[disasterbus]

that is just stunning - still one of my favorite cars of all time, I had a couple 'back in the day' and they were brilliant cars.

[bigdave86]

Cheers for the nice comments.
Flicking through your readers cars section, I have noticed 3-4 names who I recognise who also have mk1/2 fiestas.

Mine has just come off the road and garaged for winter now.

[Speedle]

That's spot on sir! Bloody lovely!

Lovely clean car that ,, these hold special memories for me and the wife I had a Rosso red one when we met 15 years ago, we were talking about these just the other day,, would like another one in the future

love it, my sister owned a blue one back in the 90s, i thought it was the beesknees

did always wonder why they had that weird nose up stance

[Swisstini]

Great looking car sir and a credit to your hard-work !

I´m really looking forward to Tuesday evening - one of these is being delivered to me in the same colour as yours. It´s an ´85 model but nowhere near as shiny !

[ChrisT]

That looks stunning, impressive work there.
I used to have one several years ago, slightly rustier than yours, great car.

[bigdave86]

Thanks for the nice comments.
It wasn't always this shiny

hi dave, long time hows it going , car is looking stunning but till u finish it to me looks like a build up
needs the black round doors n window mate then its a show winner , did u bin off the bike carbs ?

u still got the other 1 ?

cheers john

Hey John, long time no see
Sold the black zetec one, it was stopping me from doing any work on my xr2.

This one is off the road now for winter so this will give me time to paint the wheels, bodykit and attempt the black around the windows.

You still have the silver/purple one?

[xr2johnxr2]

silver n purple 1 was just made out of filler n fibreglass so binned it n got a better shell n thats still not finished , the black is easy as long as u look at lots of pics of how for done it and make sure to pinstripe the edge just like factory lol am doing the bodywork on mine at moment done all the under side n mocked engine up with everything so just need tae get off ma ass n do it

john

very nice car.

[tenman]

I do love a MKII XR2, about the only ford I ever drove I really got on with.

[deanflowers]

Cant be many on a G reg fair play though very nice. I also have an XR2 tucked away for winter

[MK2VR6]

Nice! I thought the last XR2s were on an F plate? Must be really rare on a G!
