Project DTR - * Update 22.10.2014 *
Hello People,
Some of you may be aware that i have not that long brought my Xr2i so thought it was about time that
i posted some pics of the progress that i have made, Juat cant wait until April until i can drive her! (damm insurance company)
1st of All pics of her Standard before i owned her! Outside
Inside (soon to be replaced with FRST interior)
This was the condition when i brought the car from mike-xr2i- (top bloke)
minus the wheels got standard 2i rims!
The engine with k+n
3.5 inch Mongoose Backbox (very nice purrrrrrrrrrr)
The new lights i have got not bad i think better than before IMO
Now she is down the bodyshop getting touched up here and there and new mirrors added colour coded mk3.5
Bumper strips black and side strips removed
Thanks for looking Comments very welcome on what you think of the car and what i should do to it?
Cheers

here are the Promised Pics
Eventually got the car on the ramps to look @ the holes in the sills
Drivers side front,
and the rear!
Took some pics of the car with no rear bumper on
As you have seen on my pervious pics that i am working on the FRST bonnet but have decided to do the whole bonnet for a better finish!
So rear bumper is off for painting
Then decided to take the front bumper off (wish i didnt now!)
The front bumper was bodged with fibreglass and a bit of metal tied with cable ties to the front of the car, as the bumper mounts were rusted off the bumper! so need a ned bumper now! here is some pics of the action happening,
the finshed product with rust killer on! and will be ready for painting soon!
Now some pics for the photoshoppers! to please play with and change my wheels to RS 7 Spokes or any thing wit about 7/8 spokes silver or white
Thanks for looking please post up what you think and what shopuld i do to the car!
