thought i would post a couple of pics of my recent purchase its a 1991 xr2i only mods are exhaust wheels and front repeaters but i have the standard parts if i decide to return it to factory spec ,went to the ford event at squires on sunday and it got some good comments














and a very very clean interior



clean engine bay





degreased the door shuts and polished the exhaust tail pipe








decided to make a start cleaning and tidying the under arches and getting rid of the horrible red callipers

so here it is before




horrible red callipers cant believe he painted over retaining springs





nasty red all gone





all painted and cleaned






and all back together , only another three corners to do now

Looks to be a very nice 2i. I loved the ones i've owed but most of them have just been dogs, picked up for a couple of hundred, know were near as clean as this one.

[MircoJ]

Looks very clean. Your decision to turn it back to factory spec is the right decision mate. They're getting rare (at least here in germany)

[Maxwell]

Beautiful mate!

defo stick it back to near standard as possible! will be such a head turner at shows etc!

nice purchase!

[rsturbonutter]

That is certainly very clean fella. Looks a good un. As everyone else has said standard is the way forward. You very rarely see a good 2i yet alone a standard one. Only thing is its red

[Fraggle]

now thats clean

Leave well alone op

[Rs Adz]

looks very clean nice to see a good xr2i for once

[Excursion]

That looks superb, as others have said it's really refreshing to see a well looked after 2i

[davsxr2i]

cheers guys a few little jobs to do yet while i enjoy using it ,hope to get to a few events this year see how it goes down

[jayrs]

very nice indeed.

looks spot on, and i would leave it as it is.

well, no i would have to change that fuel cap for a proper ford one, that pattern part one needs to go

[davsxr2i]

already done mate

also added some mudflaps , more to protect the paintwork than anything

[jayrs]

good good

get some cavity way, get the rear door cards off and give the inner arches a blast and inside the seals to help protect it too.

i would also seal the gap round the fuel cap hole to help it also (on the rear inner wheel arch), you might have to disconnect the filler neck to get to it fully, although its not really a easy job to remove that, it should be, but getting the locking ring to twist can be a nightmare, so might be best to leave thta in place.

shes a nice clean example, anything you do to protect it is a good move, it nice to see such a nice clean one

[285Andy]

holy crap! thats well clean! nice purchase mate and welcome along

[Tweek]

There's a couple of spare Fiesta In Park show tickets spare if interested

[Turboboy67]

Really refreshing to see an unmolested and as far as I can see rust free example.

Stunning

[Dave5300]

that looks absolutly mint and the mudguards really set off the back, love it

[rsturbonutter]

Do you mind me asking how many miles it has done. I have squinted my eye and looked at your clocks but can't make out if its less than 10k or not. If it is less than 10k your sitting on a little pot of gold there

[davsxr2i]

cheers guys yes it is very tidy ,there is a couple of minor issues with surface rust on the bottom of each screen pillar (slight bubbling ) and a stone chip in windscreen, i have a windscreen to fit so will tackle the rust issue when screen is taken out for replacement .

rsturbonutter

i wish yes it shows just over 7k but sadly its the second time around so 107k

[tompeteRS]

Absolutely lovely not seen one this clean in a long time.

Glad to see that you've changed the filler cap although I'm not a fan of the aftermarket mudflaps. Some Genuine Rubber Floor Mats would set the interior off.

[jayrs]

that rust at the bottom of the pillers is a iffy fix, when it comes to it, you could grind it up and fill it like a lot of people do, but it wont last, the best way is to cut the metal and replace it.

for now though, i would remove the A piller trims and get some wax blasted in there, its not going to stop the rust, but it will help untill the time comes to do the job

[jonyb4]

thats very very nice and clean!

most Xr2i's are ruined by now, either rust or the moron modder has taken them, but yours a rare sight


i agree you should bring it to fiesta in the park in may

[davsxr2i]

would love to attend fiesta in the park but so much work on i havnt got time this year , just completed my callipers,drums and cleaning under arches just fitted my latest purchase see if you can spot it ,also got another coat of hd wax on it

[Dave5300]

one word, mint

[jayrs]

nice, cant say ive ever seen a blue ford badge on a caliper before

[davsxr2i]

cheers guys ,a lot batter than the red attempt on there as for the badge just thought it would make it look a bit different without being over the top

[jayrs]

some might say its tacky, but i like

[jonyb4]

cheeky little sticker, nice i wanted RS ones for my calipers like on the mk2 FRS

but my little RS2000 calipers are too small for the stickers
