Cheers for the comments, wheel/tyre are £550 each and the 500 bit's a pretty pricey too. The lower rear spoiler is brand new and top is mint, bumper grills and splitter are copies but very good and the front bumper modified.
I do live in a very remote area but security is very good as it had to...
Been a while since i posted on this site, i've been busy over the last couple of months
£3.5k later Compomotive CXN Split rims added and a RS500 bodykit
I have just bought another T34 .63 with 360 bearings, cut back and angle turbine which should cope with 400bhp so over the next couple of...
Cheers for the comments, no it's not a 500 it just has the front splitter fitted as the standard rubber item is in my attick for safe keeping.
The car has been in the bodyshop for the last 2 weeks for as complete restoration of the exterior. It's due out tomorrow so i'll be down there first...
Slight update on the last time i posted on this thread.
The S2 finished and sold
The S1 Finished and sold for over £7500
The new addition finished and sold today
And my new project - just about to have a full body resto and a trip to MDS blackpool to get the brand new engine setup
Another small update - and another car
Due to a guy who seems to have fallen off the face of the earth the escort stays and some of the little jobs are currently being done.
The boot lock was sticking and missing a spring and washer so thats been removed stripped down and cleaned.
The rear...
The car above comes with a set of standard wheels that would be going straight on it, i'm not really a mod king, i like thigs they way they are supposed to be.
Matt MK1RS2000 with a BDA in it:evil: - - - Very nice mate
rs250nut i know exactly were your coming from.
Moonstone RS500's are the rarest now as their wasn't as many made, only 52 out of 500 with less than 25 left:(
CLICK HERE, BUT HOLD ON TO SOMETHING WHEN YOU DO
Some say this is over priced as advertised but it must be mainly to do with the plate as the car is roughly valued at £30.000...
This is where the market for rs cars splits into two, those who like modding and those who like original and all i know is it's very hard to get proper show car money for a heavily modded classic.
Matt brother, how's it going lads;)
Now just to mention i have been offered a good price for the...
£16k is a lot of money but if you want the best in the country you have to pay and i know the car, it get wheeled off the trailer onto the ramps and wins every time, if your mad about ford and concours it's not alot to pay comparing it to it's rivals:
Mk 1&2 escorts £20,000
RS1600I £15,000+...
Agree, with the rs owners club their are certain rules in the concours class's - due to many standard parts being obsilite like the exhaust - tyres - and an array of other parts most people have to enter the modified concours or working class which means they can't be trailored to the shows.
I...
Since the pictures were taken i've been underneath and washed that it's the little bits that need doing like behind the back seats, under the back seat inside the dash air vents:S to much like hard work for me:D
Got it the day after national day and it's been in the garage since so i haven't had chance to show it yet, i want to show it at ford fair next year then sell it on, as for concours i can't be arsed with all the cleaning thats needed.
Cheers for the comments
Unfortunatly the Escort will be going next year to make room for an RS500, the new owner of the fiesta has started the underside restoration all the parts have been blasted and powdercoated it's just waiting for the stonegaurd to be applied then paint.
Well it's been ages since i've been on here.
I managed to complete the fiesta after a larger restoration than originally planned and have now bought another RS which is currently in storage.
Ford fair and sold for £4000
And replaced with this:full £11k nut and bolt restoration on a...
Cheers for the comments guys, just getting it ready for the paint shop the week after new year hence the vents out, the guy that does the work is good at spraying etc but he's bloody awful at the strip down and rebuild so i do it my self as i have to do it after he's done it, will update after...
The box needs replacing in my mk1 16v and i'm after a cheap box to get it running to sell,
Would you go for a:
- second hand valver box
or
-second hand diesel box that might not of had pain all its life like a valver box
Cheers
