thankyou Op,

i intend to leave it as it is, just cleaned up.

The reaction it gets from other road users/people is great at lunch an audi tt stopped and waited until my side of the road was clear, whilst holding her side up, to let me go

Looks a minter, Bargain for Â£650, Keep it in good nick for couple of years and you should easily see more than that back.

IMO, only thing letting it down is the wheels, some 3door Cosworth ones would probably suit it, without straying too far from standard.

when i said imperfections i meant found some rust :cry:

I'll need the slam panel and bonnet underneath sprayed and treated etc, boot lid water hole, roof lines and other bits that have started :cry:

might look into a full respray and rustproofing!

would rather restore it to how it should be

the bodyshop are going to be pestered by me for a price on:

Spraying and de rusting etc of:

1: Slam panel
2: Bonnet
3: Roof Guttering things
4: Bottom of passenger rear arch
5: Along bottom of both doors
6: Other splits touched in/treated

BOLD = Done

its not rotten, theres a pic of the slam panel in the "meilacks xr3i and robs xr2i" thread but i don't want it to start and if it means a fresh respray for a grand or so i would rather spend that then waste it like people do on smoking etc.

i also need a garage!

Will get her rustproofed before the winter after bodywork so she dont succumb to salt!

she's running much less tappy today!

yes it should be looking nice and mint 8-)

and if you wern't so far away i'd recomend this blokes bodyshop

its cheap becuase my mate uses it alot, and he likes the xr3i, he was looking all over it and commenting on condition and i'll ask him for a small graphic (very subtle) so people know about him 8-)

and when the girlfriend gets back from her mates "hen night" i'll get her 2 transfer my pics on to the pc
