looks nice mate hope you find it

 

Hi.. just put the reg of this car in google as i am now the owner and come across this page i have also just had a look at the link you put up of the restoration you did to it the car is still looking nice and clean and i bought it off a guy in liverpool i've owned loads of RS's and was big into it 10-15yrs ago having a load of mag features but sold up and went to messing about on superbikes i was recently looking on ebay and came across MOA so snapped it up as it seemed a bargain and the rest is history she runs and drives lovely here are a few pics of it now...

 

Nice!!!!!

 

Sort out that wonky plate

 

Still looking tidy, must of been looked after well.

 

Pm mercury grey minter mate he'll be thrilled

 

Haha .. don't worry that was the first thing i sorted had it a couple of months now and have now put it in my garage over winter the guy i bought it off hardly used it and kept it in his garage so has hardly seen rain since it had its restoration in 2007 she is still nice underneath my plan is to get it looking real nice again then sell and put the money towards a mk1 focus rs

 

Blast from the past

 

The guy who had it in liverpool used to pop along to Cheshire meets. Decent bloke and well looked after, like most though never used as much as liked.

 

Good value if it still looks like the pics.

 

I've seen it on eBay just now

 

Looks like its just been sorn'd in january.

 

not too fussed about selling it as i really like it i've always wanted a mint mercury grey rst due to already owning every other colour(mostly red) but if i can get good money for it to put towards a focus rs then so be it i've strayed away from RS's in the last 5 years as i love bikes and doing trackdays but i think once you've owned a few you will always want another

 

Looks absolutely stunning mate. Best colour for a series 2 which is why mines mercury grey too haha

 

She,s still alive.i saw it at ford fair this year with those s##t rims on .looked ok to be fair.
How much did you pay for it .pm if you want to keep it secret.i found the spare key and fob for it last month.

 

so its on sorn, but still lives!

 

IS this not said car 221169033877 ebay

 

Yes my mate texted me the other day to say it was on eBay.he,s pasted my restoration page on there as well.After seeing it at ford fair I decided that I didn't,t want it back after all.
Still set on a series 1 restoration but not the .right time for me yet.

 

Hi mate .. any chance of sending me the spare key??...lol.. also may i ask what has been done to the engine as it runs really sweet and pulls like a train!! i love it but when i bought it it had a few silly little issues which i have sorted its a lovely car to drive and you did a great job with the restoration and shouldn't take too much to get back to that standard a series one restoration is a cool project i've always fancied one myself but i need some power back in my life so i'm going down the focus rs route

 

I blew up the original engine on the way back from Fordfair 2004.I purchased a rear disc conversion off eBay and when I went to collect, he had this red s2 that had been rear ended.Told me the story about the Harvey Gibbs engine and showed me receipts and I heard it run. so a deal was done and I give him £700 and took the engine out there and then.Just changed belt and all gaskets and it was sweet.jamie at JAMSPORT said it was a good solid engine.

 

Cool .. can you remember any of the spec ?? Standard or uprated bottom end ? cam? Head work ? Turbo spec ? Just need to find out so I can have a history of it

 

Can,t remember ,it was 7 years ago.I know it cost £3000.how long have you had it and how much did you pay?

 

my local scrap yard do a ford corner they got 9 rs turbos sierra cosworth and a escort cosworth iknow its not your car but theres look in good condition plus they all from rs club

 

I bought the car in september and cost me a little less than I have it up forsale due to it having a few problems which I have now rectified

 

I sold it for £4500 in it,s prime.

 

In its prime ...lol.. it will always be in its prime its a classic car thats had alot of dollar and time spent on it its only done 10k since you did the restoration and will more likely go up in value in years to come thats why I aint to fussed about selling it cause its a nice one

 

i had a tear in my eye reading this, when beef posted it up i was thinking wow this is a proper love story i cant wait to read the ending................



Then you said you didnt want it now. broke my heart that did lol

 

No room for centiment in this recession.I sold the car as I had a child on the way.I now have 2 so my loyalty has changed.If I did have it I would definitely put it back to factory standard.I think that's where it,s true value lies and could be bank rolled by selling the updated stuff so wouldn't,t cost anything.Don,t think it,s worth more than 5k but you never know.It,s the best colour and 1 of the last registered so is quite desirable.

P.s: I always hated the roof ariel even when the car was repainted ,I regret not welding up the roof.Still makes me shudder looking at it now.

 

Yeah I thought it was a strange addition although ive put a new mk5 escort one on now and looks better than last one, you did the same as me I sold my mint mercury grey 2wd cossy because of house & kids etc etc .. and I went to having bikes and trackdays which is now my main interest I saw MOA on ebay at a reasonable price and I thought fuck it id love another escort as I ive owned a few .. you only live once so now im in a happy relationship with a gsxr 1000 and an rs ..lol

 

Don,t blame you.I would only do it all again with a series 1 escort RS turbo.Not really into cossies.I spent all my wages on that grey one for months and months.Although as I work in a body shop the respray and delocking cost me £100.lol

 

Lol.. awesome mate the perks of working in a bodyshop you did a cracking job the paint still looks like glass and probably looks better than when it was new.
