Title: Pics of my 1994 XR2
Post by: zxtunerdotcom on July 20, 2014, 12:13:29 AM: Hi everyone,Just took my 1994 XR2 out of mothballs and thought I'd start posting a few pics of my progress... she sat in storage for about 5 years, but shes polishing up just like I last remember her :)

So far it's been recharge the battery and detail the interior up, and polish out the oxidation on the paint. I'm going to have to respray the bumpers since the paint took a turn for the worst there.

Surprisingly, after airing up the tires, a complete fluid check and a battery recharge, she fired right up and ran nice. Today was the first longish drive (80 mile round trip thru the local mountains) and she performed well, although a couple issues did show up. The radio sound is only coming from the right channel, the cruise control and horn are inop, and the headlights are not coming on...

yep - lickily there is little rust on her due to being in a dry arid climates like Calif, Arizona, and Alaska (or so my understanding is of it's history)
my plans are to get the Capri in nice driver shape then offer it up for sale so I can turn my efforts to finishing the blue X1/9.

Yep that and the '94 corvette in front of it are part of my "harem". So as you can see, I need to thin down the herd a bit...
