hi guys, just joined up, bought myself my first series 2 rs turbo, looks very sorry for itself at the moment but couldnt let it go to scrap so have decided to restore it back to its former glory, well atleast thats the plan anyway, just wondered if anyone knows the car atall? reg number F777 JGS, 88 spec, red, sadly i have no history with the car but if anyone knows the car would love to get some history on it, will hopefully load some pics up soon, any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks! Steve.

 

welcome to rs ownership steve.
im currently restoring mine mate,been at it 6 months now
loads of helpfull people on here mate,so anything you need,just ask.
good luck with your project from 1 rs steve to another

 

welcome mate dont know anything about your car sorry but glad theres another going to be getting saved get some pics up of it!!!

 

cheers guys. yeh i will defo get sum pics up, bought it a few weeks ago, 74k on the clock, not sure if genuine or not tho, head gasket was blown, got the head off, just needs rebuilding, however paintwork is pretty bad, practically pink in sum places, only rot i can find tho is rear arches behind the kit and the battery tray, everywhere else seems pretty solid, even underneath there doesnt seem to be any patches, so not sure if its genuine mileage or not, just wish i could get sum history on it, cant wait to get it on the road now.

 

i take it you bought a red one then,
everyone knows black ones are the fastest steve

 

welcome steve o
good luck with resto



grey ones are best steve lol^^^^^^^

 

haha yeh, it could have been any other colour and i wouldnt have minded so much but it had to be bloody red, but i couldnt bare to see it go to waste, the missus wasnt to happy wen it turned up but hey never mind, cant wait to get out there and get started on it once the weather gives me a chance.

 

Welcome to pf mate,good luck with the resto and as said above,grey ones are the best
