Default who,s breaking their rs this year?

i was wondering has anyone any plans for their rs in 2010,i myself will not be spending a lot on mine as the 4b is running fine .i will probably gather some more bits for my 2wd but im in no rush as work will be very scarce this year and ive yet to move into my new house.

so basically are you intending to make or break this year??????

I had thought about breaking mine recently but have decide not to now, the engine will be coming out next week and then its rebuild time, T4 etc.

Not planning on having it on the road next year, gonna take my time and put it on the road in 2011 i think

best thing i did breaking mine ! was talking to paul linfoot the other day as the one good thing that came out of cossie ownership is a good few friends have been made and we was talking about being a ford nut and i think to be a ford you dont have to own a cossie BUT if they were priced a bit more sensible i would own a black 500 as a guilty pleasure to tuck away in heaterd garage to enjoy

I have 2 to sort out, the Escos is almost done, but need some ramps to do the oil pump, and my saff has loads of bits sat waiting To be fitted, like coilovers, big brakes and my new Rb T4 that is being a cunt to fit, and I need to put the dash back in after sorting all the gauges out. The biggest problem for me is lack of a garage to work in, don't really fancy lying on my back in the snow

Ambers look great on Flint grey ones





I was planning on breaking mine after the troubles I had with the clutch but it's fixed now and I'll be taxing it at the end of the month I can't wait to drive it again.
