Decided, for once, to try and properly document this rebuild Meant to do one for Marks sapphire, but sorta forgot to take pictures along the way:P

Anyway, this is my old RS turbo, now owned by Gibbo (AKA the drain) The car has kinda fallen into disrepair over the last while as Gibbo was very busy with exams etc. We decided at the weekend enough was enough, the car needed sorted!

We knew it needed a new battery tray and the rear chassis legs patched. This meant we had to remove the interior (unless he wanted it to go on fire!) So we cracked on with it tonight

Seats and carpet out-









Dash out-



The rot










Not too bad really!! Floor seems super solid which is good and with the interior out the battery tray is easily enough done.

We are also going to take the engine out and give it a quick rebuild. I think he will be changing the standard head for a Burton stage three item. Should hopefully be making a start on that tomorrow. Then the car will be up in the air to get the fuel tank, exhaust and any other parts off to allow it to be patched.

The car was resprayed a couple of years back, but has managed to pick up a few dints, so a few bits will be getting painted again.

A vid of bits spread all over the place
