Default My New 90 Spec Escort RST

Diamond White
1989 (G)
90 Spec
1 owner from new (yep from 1989!!)
50k original miles
FFSH
Completely standard and original (for now)
Never Welded, Original panels and paint. Mint Unmarked interior!
Only let down is the car was in desperate need f a good buffing as the owner never polished it (up north it rains a lot!)

I will post some pics up once I have put all my new bits on it. I have another engine to go in for next year (would have been sooner but as the engine has only done 50k miles ndrives like it just left the show room I cant remove it jus yet until my new engine is fully built

Let me know what you think!

Stoo, Yea, it is pretty rare, it is not like my other RST's I have had, it is so quiet (probs cos of standard zorst) and it drives so well, I can't fault it! I can't remember what standard boost is like and fuel consumption! I done 150 miles on 1/4 tank!

Plans, well I have a lot, I have some basic mods which I have had for a while waiting for the right car to go on, but as I said once these are all on and the car is looking a bit more how I want it to look I will post the pics!

In the mean time I have to finish breaking my black one and get selling some bits!

More reply's welcome!

Tony, Yer, completely standard and the bloke blatently never touched it! Well it already is not standard as I have changed the rear lights tonight, lol But yea otherwise as it rolled out of the factory in 89.

Reflectors were gone on the way home from buying it, pulled em off and binned em Now gotta clean the marks off they have left, lol So far I am very happy with it, but I can see already white is gunna be much harder to keep clean and also shows chips/dirt/grease a lot more than black! Worth it tho! had to get a white un! Just saw this come up and couldnt resist!

Nice mate, FIRST thing you should do is get it properly steam cleaned underneath, then in the HOT summer, when she has fully dried out, strip it and WAXOIL everywhere.... take the roof out, the lot mate, you will regret it othwerwise, honestly, dont take this the wrong way, it may look nice now, but its also hardly been used, there will be some brown stuff festering somewhere I promise, so nip it all before it erupts in a couple of years.....

Damo - yep couldn't agree with you more mate. I know what your saying, and it has never been waxoiled as far as I know so now is as good a time as any to start. But saying that it is also gunna be strickly a summer car, no rain driving (if I can help it) But will be gettin busy with the waxoyl sooooon.

And the steam clean is a must! My mate is a valeter so he will do it all for me

CheeRS for all the reply's so far.... It is looking a lot less standard already, but more pics when it is all done in about a month or so.....
