Lovely car mate, would love to see this in the flesh!

[Ratspeed]

Another small update.

I got a spare grill off ebay for a bargain of a tenner! So i cut it up to make a smooth/badgeless grill.
For a quicky attempt i dont think its too bad at all

All filled in with a waft of paint


then painted and fitted



And the small crack from having to bend it when fitting it


but overall happy with it and ready for Wonderland at the weekend

[jayrs]

looks alright mate
you not thought about getting a U.S spec one?

saw one of them go for over £50 a while back, just not worth it. Having said that i sold a pair of xr2 headlights for over £100 a year or so ago, they arent worth it either

[jayrs]

depends how different you wanna be, or how much you want something though mate

[knuckles]

how much you love ripspeeds car, which in this case happens to be red

f**k off 'ripspeeds' car! and its terracotta, not red

my bad, edited it now

terracotta is a shade of red along the lines so good enough

Google says terracotta is a pink/brown pale colour
anyway its a awesome car regardless of colour

[Ratspeed]

id love one, but not for the price they go for!

But i do have chance of some gn ford front spotlamps for a bargain price,just unsure how good they will look.
I might go for clear front indicators too

[knuckles]

ambers for the win

[jayrs]

yeah they dont go cheap.
clears i say

[EUFez]

My mate has a Mk1 in the same. Sunburst red isn't it? Gleaming mate. You have yourself a beauti there!

[jayrs]

google says a lot mate, it more red than white


EUFez, i would of said it was sunburst red as its more a orangey red

nice car this, you could chop a couple of grilles together to get rid of the centre badge

funny you say that mate, hes already done it, scroll up to start of page 3

what a pillock!

right, I'm off to another thread to suggest people do what they literally just have already done

[black2]

wow how did i miss this thread. That looks as clean as the day it left the factory.

Just a thought i think it would bennifit from having the round lights in the front from the mk1 xr2? Ive seen a few base model mk1's with this set up and they look the funlumps.

I wish i had a mk1 - makes my mk2 look very shabby indeed.

, sorry mate, couldnt resist
bet you done what i do, read so much then reply without finishing reading

[Ratspeed]

Cheers guys!

I reckon if i can get a set of xr2 headlights for right moneys i'll have some

[jayrs]

dont quote me on this, but im sure the front panel needs a little trimming to fit the xr2 lights to the base spec models
ah i say im not 100% sure but if someone here cant say 100%, then ask on xrtwo.com mate

[Ritchy-Fingaz]

[quote="Ratspeed"]Well, gave my wheels a quick wag over this weekend and then today me and a mate took it for a spin and he took a few good piccys.
I'll admit that its a bit of a gay thing to do, but here they are.

Far from it, they're genuinely really nice photos. I'm about to set one as my wallpaper! Should you ever want to sell it please send me a message. What a car! What a colour!!

I'm with that, 100%

[Ratspeed]

Wow, never thought my plant pot would get so much love! I genuinely apprciate it guys

And Jay, i think i can get away with 'adjusting' the part that holds the origional indicator in to fit the XR2 lights in. The only thing i'm bothered about with the round lamps is that i dont want the big bumpers with the indicator in. I'll have to come up with an idea because i do fancy fitting some crystal golf headlamps in

Ritchy fingaz: your in a queue of people wnating to be the next owner matey but its staying put for the time being

if there the lights im thinking of, i think ive seen some fitted to a car on xrtwo.com, and they looked good

[MK2 Jamie]

Get an xr2/supersport spoiler on it

[Ratspeed]

Get an xr2/supersport spoiler on it

It'd have to be a full kit if anything, but i love the shape of it as it is

on a nother note, ive been at Wonderland Classic and Sports Car Show this weekend and i got persuaded to enter the MK1 fo judging in the Ford 1975-1985 catagory. i thought it was no way clean enough but what the hell.

The judges came round, did their thing and went. I didn't bother waiting for the results for all the trophies at the end of the show and left 30 mins before.

Then i get a phone call off a mate on the way home and ive only gone and won 2nd place fudgekin trophy!!! Cant beleive it!!

[jayrs]

nice one mate!!

[MK2 Jamie]

Bet your well happy

[jonyb4]

pimsle Ripspeed

love it jay


i bet it weas you that took them pics matt

looking good mate, a Xr kit would look great, seen that dark blue mk1 in classic ford with tinted XR2 headlights, looks the nuts

[Ratspeed]

A few more pics now its properly lowered:( sorry for the bad quality)







And i robbed this off the golf just to try, and i have now promptly oredered one





apart it wont be held up with a trainer when its on

[MK2 Jamie]

Looking good, would look even better decked on coilovers Golf splitters look really good on mk1's

[jayrs]

the trainer is what makes it imo

[Ratspeed]

the trainer is what makes it imo

I thought that but it would catch on speed bumps

[jayrs]

ah yeah thats true, best leave the trainer off then

[hb69]

Trainer is a nice mod tbh

Sometimes when people fit golf headlights they fit the indicators inside the headlight, or behind the grille

I was thinking behind the grille, just need to find some xr2 headlights and brackets now

[jonyb4]

looks goosd matt, splitter would do it good, shame no trainer though, get some sketchers on it!
