My rs2000 reshell project
Ok i got this car a while back, a K reg mk5a RS2000, paid aboot £350 for it as it was rotten beyond repair underneath and in a few other places lol
I then got another 1994 mk5a 1.3 shell and transfered everything from the rs onto this
engines removed
the I4 lump complete with subframe, suspension, s/rack etc
ready to be fitted
Now fitted (sorry phone pic)
And at the moment its off getting sprayed in radiant red, will get more pics up when it returns

Quality. Are you transfering the chassis number or are you declaring it....
All i've done is change the engine capacity and the engine number on the log book

If all goes to plan i should have it back tommorow night, fingers crossed. 
Its a Mk5a mate the later models were the 5a's and the earlier ones were called the 5b's, would think it would be the other way around but there you go

, its NOT a MK5a though, the earlier ones where a's the later ones were b's, have a lookie threw any ford forum and the net for confirmation if you need it mate lol.Oh and what he meant about the chassis numbers was transferring them over and then transferring the numberplate across so it would still be seen as an "RS"...not sure why you would but each to his own!
Keep up the good work mate, get some piccies when its painted

sorry i dont have them mate but this guy should have one http://www.jdmotorsport.com/ If its not listed on that site try his ebay shop http://stores.ebay.co.uk/JD-Motorsport
I know the servo is the same as the other escorts as i used one from the 1300 escort as the rs one was rusted to hell, not sure what other cars use the master cylinder tho as it has pipes for the abs on it. The xr3i one mite be the same?
