Default Black ERST S2 - 17/09/05 - New Wheels - Picsssss

After driving 250miles to Holland, I found the ERST I was looking for
Have seen a lot of cr*p these last few weeks, but this one really is a very nice car.
Interior can use some freshening up and I'm gonna get rid of the yellow engine bits and the towing hook (spelling?).
Car has always been complete standard and was rebuilt from scratch a few years ago.
Got the complete service history and a book with all the invoices.

Washer jets are aftermarket, but genuine Fordstuff
Payed about Ł1350 which is quite a bargain considering the condition of the car

That looks really nice! And for Ł1350!

Are S2's generally cheaper on the continent or did you have something to blackmail the old owner with?

Looks a good'un!

Cheers,

Andy

I think they're generally cheaper over here, like most RS cars compared to the Uk.

Depends on when the owner is home, we have to go to the RDW office over there to fill in some exportpapers. Probably 15 or 16th of august.

Car arrived this week!
Started to clean up the interior first.
The original seats were in pretty good nick, but we'd bought another interior aswell.
After inspecting all the parts it was clear the other seats were in better condition, so we decided to put them in.

First we had to get rid of the old interior...

Put on some "new" wheels on the RST...
Not really new as I just took the wheels off my gf's Focus and put them under the Turbo

Must say I think they look very good
