The little story of the fake FRS
here goes 
ive only got a few pics, wish i would of taken more throughout the job.....
i started off buying spotless 2.0 zetec esp.....£3,000, 50,000 miles...loved it
then some TIT in a saxo pulled out on me....
looked alot worse than what it was to be fair....so it was time to fix the... RS STYLEEE
then added the wheels
after a few months, i was offered a focus rs that had rolled...with the engine (18.000), interior, brakes, rear quarters all in tact.....so it was game on i brought it, and all the swapping was to be started....
just wish i had more pics of the engine going in etc, but didnt think at the time.
the uprated c/cooler put on while the front was off...
the rear quarters where put on they make the car IMO.
after going into the oven, she came out gleaming
everything off the doner rs went on, nothing missed,nothing bodged, and i love it with a mongoose zorst, Gen 2, de-cat, and a little map, shes roars like a bitch.....i fackin love it

im in sutton mate what was you in? i take it you was in maccys car park?
cochyn, i loved your car buddy, such a shame
radders all the rs suspension too, everything is RS it does need bloody lowering though, im scared of heights 
looking at the RS's at central day, loved the ones with the carbon splitters and bumper fins....so i might invest
alan....i do want to keep it, but ive fallen in love with an escort cosworth
drew...you fancy a swap of wheels?.....
crowder....ive seen a white replica, looked the mutts nutts
the conversion cost me about 4500 altogether in the end, and worth every penny to have something different insurance is higher than insuring an actual rs, but bollocks....i dont care
cheers lads
