Default rs turbo project

hello

I really wanna buy escort rs turbo shell and restore it..

Any advice on what to look out for and tips..

Also what are they like on long drives.. I.e. if I wanted to drive to lemans or nurburgring.

I had a white 1 about 10 years ago but only used it on short drives

If ya get one off here it should be respectable but alway look for rust, check the floor numbers ain't bin tampered with, check for crash damage, as said build it properly and look after it and it will run forever,
