m787srj Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Not been on here for a while. Been driving my mk5 now for a few years now.Think its time for an engine upgrade and a revamp of the exterior. Remove the rust underneath and get her back to her glory days. http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg270/m787srj/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_188652576291612.jpeg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m787srj Posted March 15, 2014 Author Share Posted March 15, 2014 Thanks for the replies. I will be taking a look at that site today thanks for the link. Rust has eaten through the chassis legs at the rear so I will be replacing boot floor and looking to make a independent suspension setup. Think I need an outer sill too. But she'll be ready for summer 2015. Looking to change the wheel too to cossie ones or something concaved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m787srj Posted June 4, 2016 Author Share Posted June 4, 2016 Revive of and old post. Update: car has been off road on my parents drive rotting away for a few years now. In the last 2 years a baby has came along and the pride and joy got pushed to one side as funds were low. But things are on the up. So I've set a date to get married and the xr is going to be the wedding car. I have until end of Feb 2017 to sort out any chassis rust underneath. I have just purchased a cossie arch kit but I'm going to widen the standard bumpers to match. Also collect a set of 18" escort cosworth replica wheels next Saturday. Hopefully thro project should be completed in time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
