yeah i do rmember now mate

[knuckles]

just a random post while i remember... was going through my shed of spares the other day and found a brand new set of QH XR2 front brake pads. They came with my old red xr2i when i bought it.

You can have them if ya want fella ?

[jayrs]

do i want them................ is water wet

spare mate, spares
yeah ill have them fella cheers

[Turboboy67]

You going to to update this then ya homo, seeing you have new wheels

[jayrs]

nope nothing to update as i dont have new wheels

the xr2 in the sig is the xr2 i had before my frst, and yes, the wheels on that xr2 are on the frst now and will be going back on my xr2, hence why its in the sig like that.

only update i have is the fact i got another xr2 on thr 31st of dec, getting it for nothing as its a scrapper due to rust and that, but there is a catch.

the shocks on it are spax all round, but the guy wants them for his other xr2 that his selling, along with the exhaust, its a std exhaust, but the one without the little bit exta hanging out, people that know there xr2's will know what i mean, so baiscly, if i take them off this blue one (the scrapper) and fit them to his grey one i can have the blue, but i also get the std shocks and exhaust from his grey one so i still end up with a complete car as such, apart from its missing the front seats, but he did put in a recaro from a 90 spec S2 for me and i can keep that as the cloth has gone all saggy on the bottm, but i think that could be a easy fix, wanna buy it shaun

but as said mate, the frst is gunna be finished before any work starts on the xr2, which is a shame as i know of a running 2 litre monedo auto with a fcked gearbox going for £100 ono and the car is complete, but i dont have 3100 right now and if i did i gotta use it on my rs

[Turboboy67]

I think I understood all that

I thought you were going to say the catch was its White

Cheers

[jayrs]

funny you say about new wheels cos im waiting on someone to give me them 15 inch gti wheels

[Turboboy67]

im waiting on someone to give me them 15 inch gti wheels

If your thinking that someone is me, then that wait is gonna be loooooooooooong

Cheers

[jayrs]

[niracka]

I like your new sig jay. Have you fitted those wheels to your xr2 now or is that just a photoshop???

get some pics up mate

ollie

[knuckles]

Oooooooh a new sig for a new year !

now i want a new sig

[FRSJON]

cool sig jay...

[jayrs]

cheers guys, i didnt do the sig, and it prob wont stay for long as im sure something better can be done.

them wheels are still on my frst at the mo, and its not a photo shop, i owned them wheels before the rs and they were fitted to my xr2 i had before the frst

the bit in the sig was taken from the pic below back in summer of 98






and i will be making this one look as good as that one did back in 98 (or better ), i know the wheels are not everyone cup of tea but they were got for the xr2 at the time and i think they suit the xr2 real well, even if the fcukers are 7 inch wide and scraped a bit , but they look better on the xr2 than they do on my rs i must say.

anyway, started stripping a xr2 today and got a random shot of my xr2 too so here they are



as it started (at 12.30pm, yeah bit of a late start )



and as it was left at just gone 3 when we decied to fock off as wind was getting really bitter.
on and i did have a few fag breaks and we stopped for lunch for 20 mins too



apart from fuel lines the engines ready to drop out, via rope, a long bit of wood and me and a mate lifting
fuels lines still conneted as the reast of the front is going to be ground off tomorrow to get the engine out nice and easy, then its tank off and the thing rolled on its side/ roof to get the stuff off the under side.

anyway,. im not gunna clog up this thread with that blue one, but i will post a pic of what it will finish up like

[knuckles]

you dont hang about do ya fella

see you went at it again with a angle grinder for easy access, Maybe i should do the same and just bolt my slam pannel in place

[jayrs]

the grinder will be out again tomorrow mate, and no aint fcking about its too cold.

and if you go on about bolting that panel on anymore im gunna send you a back hander by 1st class post as i said that from the word go

[FRSJON]

supposed to bloody snow tomorrow jay...

[jayrs]

supposed to bloody snow tomorrow jay...

mate, for a bet i had to fish bare back for over 1 min at the end of yarmouth pier the other year when it was icy wind and snowing (although not much snow) so im sure i could cope with a bit of snow tomorrow, but then again......

[jayrs]

well i know i said i didnt wanna clog this thread up with the blue one but seeing as some of the bits coming off it will be for my red one i may as well.

few hours on it today, was bloody bitter cold and started snowing at one point, but still, got done what was needed, engine out, rear shocks off and exhaust off.
its bad how long things take when you freezing ya b0llocks off, but still, untill i find a home for the bits ive taken off so far i can tip the fcuker on its roof to get the stuff off under it

anyway, no messing about, the engine was lifted out by me and a mate, no pu$$y crane in site






thats all for now, thought i would post them up for you all to have a laugh at

[niracka]

Lol totally hacked it to pieces there havn't you

Good to see there are still some real "men" in the ford world who arent afraid of a little light excersise

[TIL13R]

How much u want for the blue one now..... its still repairable

[jayrs]

well, seeing the semi classic nature of the veee-hicle, with its custom paint job and racing rust, and the newly modifyed front to accept a large capicty interccoler, and the added incorperated "flared" arch,

5 grand!

supposed to bloody snow tomorrow jay...

mate, for a bet i had to fish bare back for over 1 min at the end of yarmouth pier the other year when it was icy wind and snowing (although not much snow) so im sure i could cope with a bit of snow tomorrow, but then again......

once when i fished bare back it felt like i was pissing fire for days after oh wait you didnt mean that sort of fishing..

[jayrs]

not that sort of fishing, and not that short of bare back

i was fishing with a fishing rod, and took the coat, the jumper, and both T shirts off

hope that clears it now

[niracka]

No coat on your fishing rod???

dirty dirty dirty

[jayrs]

oh dont worry, my rod has a bag

anyway, moving away from rods and what not, theres nothing else to report on the xr2 apart from the fact i oiled the door hinges as i got fed up with the creeking when i went to shut it

you gotta love old cars

[Ram]

projects coming on

[jayrs]

it will be mate, now them doors are oiled thats another 50bhp on there baby

[Ram]

slick and smooth always adds power

[jayrs]

for sure man

i fitrted some non branded xenon white bulbs today to see if it will improve the $hit head lights, cantwait to see how many ponies they add

im taking the piss before anyone thinks im for real

but i did fit some xenon bulbs, as said god knows how many posts up the head lights are dog dirt, and not very bright at all, although these new bulbs are non branded ebay cheap jobbies there do for now, im not holding my breath about them making a difference but we will see

[black2]

Those pics of your old red xr2 (1998) remind me of my old red one. Was the first XR2 i owned.

Great cars,

Gareth.

[jayrs]

feel free to post a pic mate.
i do miss that red one, it was std as far as i knew and fast as fock, got it off a bird that looked like she muched carpets too
it was so std it had steels on it

[jayrs]

not much of a update, but i have a set of quad lights lined up for the xr2, although i shouldnt be getting them due to needing the money to get the rs finished i cant pass them up as they dont come up very ofton, all i got to do now is find the money for them
the blue xr2 is nearly finished, just the dash and glass etc to take out and some bits of the shell to chop off then its gone.

this is what a red xr2 looks like with quad lights, it seems its a love hate thing, you love them or you dont, me, i think they look the nuts and seeing as my current head lights are about as good as a candle just about to burn out they should provide some good lighting



let me know if you love or hate them, would be interesting to know what people think

[Turboboy67]

I love em mate, now get them bought and fitted

[FRSJON]

i love em too mate...
