Restoring my s2 escort rs turbo
I'm new to all this but thought I'd like to share my new project on my s2 G Reg escort Rs turbo.
I'll update it as and when each part is done any help would be great
This is what she looks like now and for some strange reason the previous keeper decided to put a Rs 2000 engine in it
But I do have the original engine which is being taken apart to find out what it's like inside
I'll update again as soon as some work gets started
First thing I'm going to do wile the engine is getting sorted is take all the Interior out And get the floor Weilded

I'd pull all the bodykit off and get the carpets as these can be hiding rot nightmares! as I learned when I bought mine. Then worry about the engine/running gear later.
I'm not sure about using the rs2000's bits. However I think going EFI would be a smart move.

Thanks for the replys
i pick the car back up on the 15th Feb
He's going to take the dash out and drop the engine out and then once all wielding is done she's off to the spray shop
So I'll probably be updating again then

Sorry in the delay but nothing gets done as fast as I'd like
I no many of you will dislike what I've done to the interior but I've been looking for new for 4 months and nothing is good enough so I got the lot reupholstered ito my liking i'm hoping within a month I have already built back together

The seats look good. But need the Recaro badges to really finish them off!
The chip is as it says on the sticker, powerchips... Its a decent enough chip. This search took me 10 seconds:

What did you type in the search bar?

Every time I typed powerchips it only seemed to show tuners
And I couldn't find the exact one or a pic of , what kind of power will it give?
Anyway I tried to edit my post but couldn't I'm waiting for the guy to get an Rs made up and my recovery badges restored to look new then he's going to replace that whole rectangle but it takes 7 weeks
Thanks for the repy
