Default RS2K Rebuild

Bought the 2K about 4 years ago in a bit of a mess, so its had a bare shell build new everything Chassis legs front and rear, floor, 2 new front wings 2 new rear quarter panels fully rebuilt inner wings behind the quarter panels basically the car has had nearly anything that was metal replaced even brand new A pillars..

All work carried out by my Dad in his garage at home musta saved me a fortune over the years ;D CheeRS matie.. 8)

Heres a few pics from over the years, cars still not finished but getting there..

























































The cars finished in Base coat and clear 2k had its last coat of clear only a few days ago once dry needs to be flatted back and given a fooking good polish to give it a sexual shine, dont look to bad at the moment considering it needs to be buffed... heres an idea..



BIG THANKS to my DAD for all the Graft he's put in whilst i did very little, apart from watch in hungover states on sat and sun mornings.... lol

Hopefully will have all the photos from the build up sometime soon...

Some awesome work put in there. Good to see, as many people don't seem to bother on the MK5 RS2Ks.

its had a bit spent on it yeah havent spared it on what it needed, had 2 rear quarters 2 front wings both A pillars inner and outer sills everything really all from Ford with discount and VAT claimed back so made quite a good saving on them but not having to pay labour for the work has helped the most..lol
