I picked this up a month ago after finishing the underside of the escos I was getting board and found this. The guy I brought it from was 60ish and brought it brand new from ford So hes had it for 19 years with fsh all stamps in the book and all mots from new even still got the dealer number plates and tax disc holder. 100% Standard and ford mud flaps and overmats. No rust never had any welding floor is mint and sills sun roof area bat tray etc. I thought you just dont find them like this so Ive gone and brought.

So Iam going to do the underside and some small bits so here I go again.

Here is some pics to get it started.















































Then had to swap garages with the escos

The ECOS looks mint!!!! So I cant see the RST being any different after youve set your magic to it. Good find, and as said above, good to see its gone to you and not no 17 year old scally

Looks like you caught the underside just at the righ time before that surface rust turned worse. What a little belter though! The underside of my S2 was the worst part I did, but so so worth it when your finished a you know.

She going back to standard concourse then or just a tidy up?

Would love to lock it up for years to come or am I being silly. Might sell it when its done not sure yet need the room realy for the escos as Iam renting anouther garage.
