Default My S2 RS Turbo

Bought a Series 2 RS Turbo for a bit of a Toy.

Was previously owned by someone on here.

This is how I bought it

Cheers Glen.

Its far from mint but it has got lots of potential,

At some point it has had a full engine rebuild (Pics supplied by a member on here)

It has also had a re-spray but they left all the Glass & lights in when it was done and now its starting to have a bit of laquer flaking in a few places.

Main points are it is solid, had it up on the ramps and no rot underneath so I will be getting it undersealed to try & prolong any rot.

It has an Alloy Pace intercooler, Fully polly bushed all round, Braided brake hoses, Full 4 inch exhaust system & Loads of service history.

I am willing to spend the time and money on it as I get a different car to use every day so the RS can just sit in the Garage until its fully done.

Suspension is now fitted & it sits miles better now



Whilst it was up in the air I had a good check underneath it,







It looks very solid. I think I will wire brush it and then underseal it to try and keep it that way for a little longer.
