I think the mk3's day is coming, they're starting to look very, very nice (already did in my eyes, but that's besides the point wink). Hopefully the mk4's will be soon? tongue out

Anyway, lovely motor! Keeping it standard? smile

The mk3 is pretty much there i reckon,wherever there is.The mk4 is a very rare car in standard form these days too really,won't be long.

Plans for this one are a bit vague at the moment.I'd like a set of 17" diamond cut 7 spokes but they are very expensive these days too.I think it sits a bit high so it may get lowered but that's it.

I really like that, and yes, a set of those diamond cut 7 spokes would look very tasteful indeed.

I've never owned a ford in my life, but for some reason I can't stop looking at really clean, white, Mk4 RS Turbos... But tidy standard ones are really rare!

Lovely smile Dad had a white one of these back in the day and is always telling anyone who'll listen how much he loved it. Got nicked unfourtunately, replaced with a 309 GTi that also got pinched!

Driving experience to a modern car,pretty bad really if you're not into the older stuff.I love them though so i enjoy the lack of power steering,and piss poor brakes.I could go on all day.

I get a fair bit of grief from herself about my love of old Fords,she reckons at the age of 27 i'm too young for this sort of thing but i'll get her into them yet.

She came round a bit when she saw all the blokes staring at her driving the XR3,was quite amusing.laugh
