I was looking for one for about 5 and a half months, and went to see about 15 of them in this time (Mk1 and Mk2 XR2's) but all were way over priced rust buckets (one I went to see was only worth £50 and the guy said he wanted £1k for it!!!)
But after all the agro, I spotted this, and went down to Birmingham to see it, and although it was a long round trip in one day, it was worth it, and I got a totally standard minter with only 60k on the clock.
I then started buying bits for her:
Goodridge Braided hoses (I've been lazy, and these still have to be fitted, along with the rest of the brake stuff)
Tar.Ox Monza grooved & drilled discs (I've also got Ferodo DS2000 pads but never got a pic)
My twin 40's:
The car was used in Auto Express feature for Fiesta's Through The Ages in February this year, it was photographed down at Bruntingthrope, got to have a play on the track once the pics were taken
Fitting the twin 40's:
These pics show where we mounted the fuel pump and the fuel regulator:
The inlet gasket we got wasn't the right one, so we made our own, and it's Bran Flakes, so it's heathier! My mate Chris was given this job.
My chrome rocker cover
And some pics of when it was all fitted
As you can also see from the pics, it's also got an Ashley 4 branch & full system on her.
Some vids of the car:

Windscreen banner I got made up today, looks alright, can't complain for £15
