so does the whole floor pan including seat mounts
Rear chassis rot badly
behind the rear wheel skirts rot
boot floors rot
bottom of the front windscreens rot
tailgate rots round the window seals
Doors rot at the tops of the skin
Front wing to bumper brakets fall to pieces

Valve stem oil seals go on a too frequent basis

Actuators become weak leading to lack of boost
Radiators rot

bad idea me thinks !

Not really. Mine just needed a LOT of work. There are a lot out there that are quite decent. I knew nothing about them when I got mine but it has been a good way of learning...

I just love it when someone calls it an XR3i
