    Nice work. I do love a nice Mk2. Bodywork looks super clean to begin with.

    For the front cradle, I just made steel replacements so the cradle bolts in solid.

    Also, fitting a Sierra rack is pretty easy ( with a little welding ) and gives a much lower turn-turn rack which is nice.

    Very rare these days, especially for such old ones.

    it's surprising how similar the XD looks on the outside...but totally different underneath
