Default New RS2000 mk5 project

Hi all my XR3i is just about complete so I have moved on to another project by chance I watched this being driven in to my local scrapyard and just had to buy it.
Never done an RS2000 but looking forward to getting involved very much.
it's covered 59,000 interior is very very clean no rips tears or worn parts.
the car is very original and has not been modified.
let me know what you guys think, my plans are to return it to her former glory.

ha ha not sure what way I am going to go with it yet, I have also a mk5 XR3i rally car with sports suspension, 4 pot callipers drilled and grooved discs, sports/rally steering rack the body is totally original and in immaculate condition so if the body on the scrap RS is rough I will put the running gear into the mk5 xr3i but if I am totally honest I would like to repair the RS shell if needed and keep her all original

it is being delivered to my garage tomorrow morning so watch this space for lots more pictures
cheers.
