XR3i respray (loads of pics, sorry )

phew, thought you were going to tell him about the Bugatti for a minute there :|

That is actually a really good idea for the doors for a track car, Fabricating your own internals. That's given me ideas....

Wow...just WOW!!

Simply Breathtaking....must be like a museum piece now. I'd be too scared to take it out.

You just can't beat older cars that look mint, they have FAR more character than the carpy generic cars they churn out these days.

It was done in 2009 and it looks nearly as good now. It hasn't been out a lot since it was done though, a couple of car shows and the odd run out on a sunny day :shock: It has been sitting in the garage since october so its a bit dusty at the mo.

Looks like a really nice XR3i cab you have there! Judging from the photos, they've done a really nice job and if it was done in 2009 and it still looks as good, then they've obviously prepared it well!

I would love to do a project like that with either a MK2 XR2 (any colour), a late series Escort RS Turbo (charcoal grey) or a Sierra Sapphire RS Cosworth (again in charcoal grey - just like Jimmy Nail's in Spender) and keep my Puma as the daily driver!

I'm thinking Escort turbos are Mercury grey :-D

I'm thinking Escort turbos are Mercury grey :-D

also in white,red and black

I want my turbo back.....

Sure, I knew that,I mentioned Mercury grey because he was calling it charcoal grey

 

[Daftgit]

Ok.....mercury grey, but you all knew the colour I ment! However, trying to get a RS Turbo or a Sapphire Cowsworth that hasn't been butchered and messed about with would be near on impossible or cost prohibitive to put right!

I can but dream!

 

[Puma Babe]

wish I could afford for the Puma to have the same treatment!!

 

[Mk02]

You're not alone! I daydream about restoring my Puma back to a brand new condition every day... Every single peice

When I was at school I thought the XR3i was the best car on earth. Nice to see such a good example, I hope she's still looking fresh. I haven't seen a good one in years!
