Default my RS2000 4x4 rebuild..

i bought my auralis blue n reg 4wd rs2000 about 16 months ago for 1900 quid. the shell was very good but everything mechanical was shot to %&"$...! i have spent just over ten grand replacing the exhaust, breaks, wheels, tyres, break servo, engine reboar, with new pistons, crank, inlet and exhaust valves, dampers, bushes, and shocks, wheel bearings... lol. i know why bother. well i now have a good handling car that looks pretty nice and goes even better. she my baby.. chris

Hi chris, looks well nice mate and very rare in auralis blue, not many 4x4s' made in that colour!

good to see someone spending money on keeping one on the road, only just over 100 left now!

you should check out www.rs2000-16v.com there are a few of us from round your way on there!
