Default Pics of my RST now its alive again!

Had many RST's, but never one ive had to restore. SO here she is! She is currently fighting for space with my EsCos, Golf R32, Escort GTi, MondeoZetec S and Mondeo ST! But heres some to give you an idea..........







First of many coats of paint underneath!


Old disc, new disc! And nobody has these as far as i know! From PBR




Rear 2wd disc conversion




What she was like; here she has a new bonnet tied on with rope, no sills, no wings, front and rear panels have been replaced already

Shes nearly complete now. My plan is pretty simple, keep it looking as standard as possible, but have a nice strong CVH under the bonnet that i can use, with some nice trick parts.

Just got a GReddy B Spec boost controller, and a new Defi controller (my one had burnt out!). Then have the car setup and see what shes at. Just a 1900 block at the minute, hybrid turbo, full front mount Pace, 3" exhuast from turbo. Other than that, need to get the car finished as my priority! As the Cossie wants the garage!!!

Some more pics and new goodies!













I had this Turbo smart dump valve laying around so tried doing something with it. Only trial fitted. What do you think?



PBR 315mm 4 pot brakes now fitted, and the RS7s fit without spacers needed!!!!!!!







Couple of nice ones

In total, 9 months. Some of the work had been started, but alot was re-done due it not being quite what i wanted.

I have put a lot of time in though, id say at least 15 hours a week when im at work (2 hours a night and one day at the weekend)

add that up and it becomes scary! 540+ hours
