Hi there

This thread will describe my new little baby...

A Escort Rs Turbo S2 from 1987...

A friend and I bought it with a slight fire damage in the interior. Only to fix it, and sell it with a little money left for fun . But when we got it home to the garage, we discovered that the car was too good to be sold on, and i decided to make it mine ...

It had a few cool items fitted....

3 inch Magnex stainless

Complete Polyflex in the front

New headgasket (only covered 200 miles)

S&S pressure hose kit

New toyo tyres - 195/40 R16

Bailey dump valve

Etc...


Here comes a lot of pics









Some of the fire damage... Fu****g burglers


Nice big zorst


Taking her apart


99% mint bay no rust under battery tray or by the Fuse box




The same in the boot


But... It does'nt come without a price




But after a few nights with my Migatronic (welder)...






We decided to try and put some sound deadening in the roof. It is a "motorsport Edition" without sunroof ... Therefor the roof is quite noisy. But we put an end to that he he...

Before:


Cleaned and primed roof...












And the result:


AMAZING difference ...
I know its a heavy material, but its worth it. It is going to be a daily driver

This is the last picture as the car is at the moment



I have a lot of plans...

The body:

Resprayed i original White

Clean bay

Oval side blinkers

Smoked rears

De-locked

Tinted windows (one of my professions)

90's spec front bumper and rear spoiler

Rs Seven spokes in 7˝x17


The result will be something like this:

I Really LOVE this car



And for the Engine:

2 litre Zetec SE conversion with:

Brian Hansen tubular manifold

BIG turbo (haven't decidet yet... Any advices???)

Homemade custom inlet manifold

Spec homemade Gearbox with Quaife Diff.

Some kind of programmable engine control unit...

Etc


I'm hoping for a lot of responce an some helpfull advice

Great project ,how much did it cost you

pau1rs

nice project... looks a solid motor there....

Bartheez

It cost me the huge amount of 800 pund's ...

Even with "Mot" ( In danish its called "syn", and all cars must be "synet" every 2 years...)

So that was quite a bargain


Kasper...

RST Appie

Willem

So they do have S2's in Denmark... Lived there for 5 months, and never saw an S2!

Nice project btw!

Mr.T

Hi mate jeroentje here. Where is your fezzie? You never told me you got a RSturbo to Good work there mate.

Bartheez

He he...

Yes there are S2's in denmark... But no way as many as in the Uk ...

I think there might be around 50-75 Escort rst S2's here in the country. And reguarding the Escort rst S1..... ...... Between 5 and 8 cars only... They are Very rare


I know... But I soooo fu****g busy at the moment . The Fiesta is sold .... And now the money is spent on this beauty he he ...



Cheers and thanks for the comments - Kasper

cabrst

what about the last 2-(3) S1's there is in Denmark becouse so far we know there is 10-(11) S1 in Denmark ( one of them have tho bin broked )

but then you know how many there is on numberplates

and on Danish TAX

xrmalin

That looks nice & tidy good luck with your project

luving it m8..looks wicked

Bartheez

He he... Vi kan da sagtens tage den pĺ dansk , men det ville da nćsten vćre synd for alle de englćndere ...

Mht antallet af S1'ere, sĺ var det ogsĺ kun et gćt he he.


Kasper...

cabrst

but you allso wrong about S2 aswell....

well back to your car....thats some nice work







Keeping it on

Danish on:

ja et lavt gćt med hensyn til antal.......vi prřver at holde tal pĺ de S1'er der er her men de 10 er dem vi med sikkerhed ved der er, hvor mange der sĺ stĺr gemt rundt omkring

hvis du kigger pĺ břrnegallriet vil du se at der er en del S2'er, men her ved jeg at der os stĺr flere rundt omkring ( har kendskab til flere ) sĺ der er nok mere mellem 125-200 S2'er

Danish off........

Bartheez

I'll take that one on me then

I was wrong reguarding to the number of S2's and S1's here ind denmark ...

As my fellow country man "Cabrst" wrote, there is about 10 S1's and well over about 125 S2's he he.

Danish:
Ja mine vurderinger var nok ogsĺ lidt baseret pĺ antallet af S2'ere pĺ břrnegalleriet. Og selvfřlgelig stĺr der en del biler rundt omkring som ikke er til skue for offentligheden he he...

Men nok om det... Glćder mig for vildt til at komme i gang med motoren til turboen, det skal nok komme til at vćkke lidt opsigt he he. Men nu skal den fřrst gřres klar til maler osv... Sĺ mĺ vi se hvad sommeren bringer ...

Kasper

cabrst

Hansenturbo

Hi m8 nice project you have got there i know this car a littel bit it used to be own by one of my brothers m8s (ronnie) he painted the the car in that coulur but then was when it was on the devils island (sjćlland).

Bartheez

Dont know about updates ...

I'm kind of busy at the moment, so not much time for the Escort ...
But within a few weeks it is supposed to be ready for a little paintjob ...



We picked it up on the "Devils Island" between christmas and newyears eve...

Kasper

Hansenturbo

Hansenturbo

Bartheez

I was thinking of about 400 hp ...

What about the prices on these Garrett GT2871R's? All i need at the moment is a manifold and the turbo. The engine is going to be picked out tomorrow

Kasper...

Hansenturbo

Bartheez

Hi there ...

Just bought me some new bits

Complete Polyflex kit with all the bushes, nuts and washers ...











Helix performance Clutch for the "big" heavy duty gearbox I am building . The specs on this one will be kept secret for now ...



I Have changed the plans for the engine (again he he)... At the moment I am planning a 2 litre Zvh wiht a few trics up it's sleeve


Thats All for now, let me know what you think


Cheers - Kasper

Bartheez

It's bee a while since my last update, and a little has happend since then . Its been painted Original B# White with a thick layer of clear :-P


Battery tray remowed... The battery will be placed in the boot


All original seals and surface rust remowed.


All holes with no use welded up and filled with "Tin" (??) Going for a smooth engine bay...














And then came the paint!!! ... Fu....g AWESOME!!!









Boot, hood and bumpers testfitted to check for color diffenences :-(... Glad I did, all the lose items have to back for a new layer of paint :-(...









Looking sweeeeet... Cant wait for the upcoming assembly...

Stavros

awesome build!

i really think the standard of work done to cars in scandinavia is far better than the UK, you guys really put some thought and imagination in to it, as well as great quality work!

look forward to seeing it progress

Tonyt1t

cabrst

looks very nice, well done man

cabrst

Don't we need an update on this

Bartheez

I wish there was something to write about :-(... I don't have the time at the moment. Busy at my new job etc. The car pretty much looks the same as in the last picture ;-(

Ford RS's dosen't come in heards here in Denmark. As stated elsewhere in this tread there are only very few RS's + Cosworth came to Denmark.
I have the new-car sale-numbers somewhere.
Only 3 pcs of 3 doors where sold in DK in 86+87. Pricetag at 50.000Ł explains a lot...

Nice one

Bartheez

I Wish this was a bigger update than it is :-(...

But due to a huge amount of work at the moment. No time is left for my little S2 ...

All I have had made is some sound deadening with Dynamat.

I can't find the pics before and after i painted the floor? But the floor has been painted in glossy white Hammerite ...

Original Ford water drain plugs - to heat up and stick in the holes ...


























And last week i just picked up my 2,0 litre Zetec SE engine :-P (Blacktop). It's going to be taken apart as soon as possible. Due to some new bits and bobs ...

Rab

You'll need 300bhp just to move the thing with all that Dynamat

Will be really quiet inside though

hai07222

Coming together nicely. good work

Bartheez

I know... That's why i just picked up the Zetec lump last week

Bartheez

I just purchased my new wheels today ... they are Keskin KT3 - Offset Et 30, and they are 8x17 inches

They will be paintet satin mat black in a nearby future...

At the moment they are fitted with 205/40 R17 Nankang NSII... but they will be replaced by a set of Hancook 195/40 R17 instead... As the profile on the Nankang ones is a littte too close to the rear bumper
































And i put in some more Dynamat i the drivers side door. The electric window motor, central-locking motor and the door lock all got some to reduce noice when driving, and when the music is playing ... This might be the most silent Mk 4 around when im done??





















Please remember that this car will be used as a serious stereo car in the EMMA Association. (European Mobile Media Association). It's not going to play loud, but extremely well
