Hi All,

I'm looking to take on a S2 RST restoration project over the summer, selling my focus to fund it...

I'm hopefully going to have around £3500 to spend on it - and thats for everything. I've already eyed up around £1000's worth of tuning mods to reach stage 1, maybe edging towards stage 2.

I'm tempted to try and get a non runner - get the shell into the bodyshop and rebuild the engine myself - then put 2 and 2 together when the shell's sprayed.

However - having had a good look through this section i've noticed that a massive problem seems to be rust.

Do you think i'd be better spending more money on a better condition shell - or less money on a shell that needs work doing to it?

Either way - the block'll probably see a rebuild and the interior will be changed...

Any advice appreciated.

Cheers

Will
