Started the normal way, just a wee tidy up of my Mk1 Fiesta, freshen up the engine, get it back on the track next season. That was September 2004. It's now August 2007, it's been stripped back to bare metal underneath, it's had new inner wings, new crossmember, new front panel, new wings, front floor pans, inner sills, boot floor, rear panel, n/s sill, with the just the o/s sill to go . Steel x-flow bottom ends built, waiting for it's alloy head and throttle bodies, Tran-X LSD to be fitted. Other than that, all I've got left to do is get her painted and put it all together. Doesn't sound that bad when you say it fast! Surely I'll get it finished for next season!

Always wanted a Mk1 XR2, finally got my XR2, then wrote it off, Doh! Fancied doing sprints and hillclimbs so the logical choice was a Mk1. Nothing better than showing up newer machinery in an old car!
