I bought this lst week with the itention of using it on nice days ect but there were a few bits i wasnt happy with so i thought i wuld ust do them just now.


The interior is going on monday to aldridge trimming to get retrimmed in beta cloth (costs a fortune but want the car to be as close to original as poss)& decent interior is so hard to come by.




small bubble at the front of the strut top but it didnt come to anything


the o/s door is coming away at the bottom so i got a new door skin for it & is getting fitted 2 moro



Small bubble on the n/s door it never came to much just a small plate inside of the door is mint

More updates 2 moro then my mates going to paint the full car when he gets back from holiday next week

 

Cool man!

The black stuff in the boot is ust sealer i think the painter will remove that & do it himself tidy it up

 

Nice car, should be pretty mint when done

 

Just love early RS2000's, nearly bought one this colour years and years ago. Good progress

 

didn't take you long to get that far.

carry on.

 

Its all go dave just trying to blitz it incase i end up losing intrest & it sits in the garage kinda held up now till the painter comes back his holidays

 

You wont be dissappointed with Aldridge trim mate. I had some work done there and got shown round. Awesome awesome quality place.

 

I have heard all good reports mate thnx costing a fortune
Getting it back in 3 to 4 weeks

 

looks good carlo!

did you find out what colour it was?


There was one with same colour at lightwater valley.

 

The car is carnival red mate i dont think as far as i know they made the cars this colour its original colour is signal orange & im in 2 minds whether to change it back as the full cars getting painted anyway

 

im positive there was one the same colour at lightwater.

 

Maybe someone has painted it mate here is the colour chart for them its very close to signal red

 

there seem to be colours missing from there Carlo.

off the top of my head...

riviera blue,
Carnival red,
tuscan beige....iirc.

may be more.

 

Ive been asking about this for a while dave if there is carnival red ones out there i will keep it this colour i know riviera blue was defo missing above i actually like carnival red & am happy with the colour i jut dont want to have one in a colour they didnt make them in

 

Is there any pics of the carnival red one at lightwater euan?

 

i like rs cars in the original colours.

not too sure on mine yet,more likely red,but i hate venetian red,its too dull,may do it radiant.

 

A nice red mk2 cossie would do just fine dave..
I would love to have built a mk2 like yours , mk2 escort cossies are the ultimate IMHO



This mk2 escort is my favorite i know it has a bit of history but its gorgeous it was on ebay a while back & i missed it now its vanished off the face of the earth

 

lovely car mate, another 1 saved from either going to ireland or getting rallied

 

loving the old skool

 

Love that

 

carlo

yes,mk.2 escort cossies,excellent cars with the power to match

think it will be ok in red,just a bit undecided.

 

Good work Carlo




Signal Red is one of the brightest reds Dave

 

Charlie Chalk

it is Rad but it is an orangy/pink redi want a proper red....radiant red.

 

I'll have a look at a few colour charts through work

 

i know what its like,i have had one in that colour.

i will dig a pic out.

 

only one i got.




sorry Carlo,will leave your post alone now.
