hi guys.
I will use this thread to update you on my s2 rs turbo restoration project.
I will name her black beauty.
I purchased in sept 2010.
vehicle had been in storage for 10 years and not run for 13 years.
after 3 weeks i finally got it running after losing nearly all my hair from head scratching.
Now shes running sweet,i have strpped her of her interior to see condition of shell.
Needs some welding to rear arch,outer and inner sills,bulkhead,boot,roof,etc.
actually really clean underneath but defo work to be done.
All rust being cut out and done properly,then new paintjob,new poly bushes,new suspension,cossie brakes and gonna make car look original but go like stink.
my last rs i sold 13 years ago.
it had a 1.9 zetec turbo lump which produced 240 bhp at wheels,260 at flywheel, and an incredible 386lb torque at 26psi.
a true monster.
This one is gonna be brought back to former glory then kept hopefully for ever and only brought out in dry weather as its my 2nd car.
will update how things go,and look forward to the adventures ahead and friends i make along the way.
wish me luck,im going in lol...........
