my s2 rst project
Here are some pics < of many > that i took of my car. Ive had a soft spot for turbos for a long time so i decided to try and get a nice clean cheap rst, well cheap and clean dont go well together when ya trying to buy a RST so i thought i would do it myself after seen some of the restoration projects on here i know its not as detailed as most but i done all the work myself ,so here goes !
basicly i painted the door checks and underbonnet etc and sent it away to a local garage and when it came back it was shocking so i preped it again and painted it myself
also refurb my wheels
checked the harness and retaped it.
im well pleased with the car , the wife has her car and now i have a nice clean cheap rst ,

thanks guys for the replys 
yeah i did mate i had a mk6 98 escort 'silver' with a turbo engine in sold that bought a mk 5 cabby and fitted a turbo engine in that and then bought my rst which i cant see me parting with well except to get a cossie 
i must say i am well pleased with the rst performance after i got the over boosting problem sorted it was going round past 20psi ,after a few phone calls and some nice advice, i put the amal vlave back on and wired it for 2 stage boost with the help of a forge acuator so i got 8psi and 16 psi boost.
this only pic of me engine bay that i have, the only thing that has changed is where the bleed valve is i refitted me amal valve there,
