RS2000 F2 Tarmac Rally Car. 2014 photos added
Well where to start really!!
I have been building this for about 3years as its being done in between customers cars. I started of building an RS2000 rally car with the idea of using the best parts I can source (after my sapphire cosworth rally car). Parts have been sourced from escort F2 kit car, escort cosworth gpA and WRC and some parts machined/fabricated by myslef.
Its not far off being completed now and there is about 5/6months left of buying lots of little bits as with any project. Any way the pics!!!
How I got it
Then
Then got hold of some maxi bumpers are arches
Then a F2 Kit car engine (used for about 4 years and stirpped for a rebuild which never happened and stored in a box)
Then some more maxi pannels
Then the fab work
Cage
Paint
bits
engine
R&D dog box
GKN shafts
909 PAS
today
Massive thanks to...
Mark at MK Motorsport for the TCA's
and
Chris at Passion Restoration Products for the coating.
Subrame was a standard one and modified to suit and I machined my own Maxi spec billet alloy compression struts

Think they're about Ł150, but you only get the fibreglass cowls and backing plates for that, you have to buy your own lights and get them mounted and lined up yourself.
Indicators are just standard MK5 Escort ones, so they're cheap enough.

I have seen a cage he welded into a MK6 GTi last month and it's mint.
He's built this as an all out rally car thats going to no doubt get pranged and bent here and there so looks and don't think were on top of Matts tick sheet.
He's rivvet the kit on in preperation for hitting hay bales, as he knows it will happen

Crikey, at first I just thought it was going to be a normalish replica, clearly not !
Some proper parts on that, keep at it, really nice to see something a little different.
Oh and that slide throttle is a thing of beauty

Cheers. Love the slide boddies myself. Best feature I think.
I do a lot of work on the ex max power RS2000 (pink one) and that has slide boddies, sounds amazing!!

Without doubt, that or the tca's !
Seriously well specced car, hope it goes as well as it looks, I'm sure it will.
As for the Max Power car, nice in its day, not a patch on yours though.

Yeah, could have bought one the money I have spent lol. But its more fun doing it yourself. The car will be used for tarmac rallying and that is always in my mind when building it and fabricating parts, "is it right" "is it strong enough" "can it be improved" etc
tar always had soft spot myself Been to see loads over the time I have built this and each one is so unique.
