Hi guys.
I'm from the dutch, and I've got a crazy looking S2 that I want to share with all of you.

Some of you might know this car allready.
A few years back a guy named fomoco started working on this car, he has also a topic on passionford. From Belgium.
Then it was sold to the dutch, to a friend of mine.
He also sold the car to another friend of mine, so I Always keep eyes on the car. hahaha.

A few weeks ago, i've needed to do a MOT on his car (i'm a mechanic) and he asked me: Shall we change cars?
I was driving a FRS mk1, he had the escort turbo and also an fiesta sport 2001.

So here we are....

When the car came to the Netherlands, my mate and a couple of friends, stripped the car again mostly.
It now has all the good stuff on it.

Dashboard is flocked, GAZ coilovers, smoothed 90spec bumpers, GRS coolers, aquamist, powerflex, etc.etc.

Here a few pictures:

This was back in 2004 i believe:




When it came to holland, it looked like this:


The guy that bought the car, a friend of mine, removed the engine, shocks and springs, gearbox,exhaust, etc.
And installed a better engine, fully loaded, stage2 gearbox,magnex,GAZ kit, powdercoated suspension parts,etc..

Then this guy sold the car, to another friend of mine and almost resprayed the hole car.
Changed the bumpers,the hood,and repaired the S1 skirts, because there where a few cracks in it.











He also flocked the dashboard...
Before:


After:


The white wheels are sold and she now stands on escort cosworth rims




And then she became mine

 

I've only changed the mirrors....for the originals.
Now she's sleeping.... Untill the spring

 

That looks mint mate, really like that.

I had an S2 with smoothed bumpers and and S1 kit. It looked great but was terrible for cracking.

The cossie wheels in the last pic set it off a treat.

 

Sure I remember that!? From back in about 2005/2006?

Glad to see its still going!

 

Nice car I used to meet up with rst appie at efe, when he owned the car ,saw it at efe this year

Beautiful RST, glad to see it staying around neighbourhood.

Yes I know it's sounds crazy....but I can't help it.
It's a stunning car... i Always loved the RST's.
Before the Focus RS, i drove a few years sierra cosworth 4wd....a great car, but it needed much tlc. I didnt want to spend all that money on a cosworth.
So i sold it and i picked up an focus RS 2003.
I've only had it for a couple of months.

And back in the days i drove an escort rs turbo, converted to EFI. Also started a topic back then on PF. But that one i stripped and sold in parts.

Here a few random pictures...
My plans are to change the chrome stuff for more carbon parts.
And the underside needs a clean up, maybe i'll paint it in auralis blue also...

The wheels on the first 2 pictures are Original RST's...i've put them on because the car now stands a few monthsss.. That's why they are so crappy and bad tyres..

 

Needs a clean up ? Looks clean enough for me

Cars Always keep you busy

Good job so far, i will come check it out soon

 

Nice base to start with!

I really like this car what size tyres are you using on the escos wheels and did you need to do much arch work to use them?

 

Awesome car m8 what color are those escos wheels

 

hi fellows

The cossie wheels are sold now. They were to wide...and scrubbed the arches while cornering.
I didn't like that, so away they went. haha

Now i'm driving on original RST rims. With Federal RS-R 195/50 R15.
Next week we are going to the nurburgring with friends!

I've adjusted the boost, the bleedvalve wasn't working correctly, the "bleed" pipe was blocked, it now goes to 26 Psi, and hold pressure at 22 Psi.
Great Fun!!!

 

Any new updates mate?

 

Add some new wheels yesterday. Hope you all like!

 

Awesome

 

I sold the car!!!
Needed the money for a house. But no worries... i've alleready got a new one.

Mercury grey 1989.
New paint, cosworth turbo, cosworth downpipe... etc etc
