A certain element of them want to bloody well grow up and act like adults.
Unfortunately mud sticks and most people will remember the moaning and arguing more than they will the nicer people who own RS500s and don't give a FF if the car is stamped up or down.

Dont let it put you off mate, there arent many people more passionate about fords than you, it would be a shame if true 500 enthusiasts like yourself that would be a credit to the marque are put off by this.
p.s - what did you think of that pretty little evo 6 then?! There cool arent they!

So how on earth do you come to the conclusion that all stamped down cars are reshell when infact it is almost impossible to tell either way unless a cars history is know 100% from new , and also shows that up or down doesnt mean a cars history is perfect or at the same time , not perfect
.................................................. .................................................. ....
I dont believe a perfect car exists. Documents can be forged, the same as a vehicle identities can be replicated. However there is a fundamental difference between a RESHELL & a Rebuild. The rebuild retains the ORIGINAL shell. The quality of a rebuild not only relies on the standard of workmanship but also the number of outsourced parts required to return the vehicle back to as near original quality as possible. IMHO, The issue with RESHELLS not being the same quality/standard as ORIGINAL cars relies on these quantities. Yes the work that Tickford did to the shell can be replicated but to what standard or level of assurance/accuracy ? but I would have more trust, piece of mind & faith in Tickfords works more than that of an unqualified person. On some RESHELLS the shell modifications are not even present & replacement parts used to replace broken or damaged items may even be 2nd hand.
Now, are you going to tell me a car that is not 100% ORIGINAL should be valued the same as a car that is AS ORIGINALLY MANUFACTURED ?
If you are then I question your INTEGRITY , KNOWLEDGE & PERSONAL STANDARDS.

Its completely irrelevant why he has posted only he knows. You have done a great job this year and i have only heard positive things about what you have achieved for the RS500 (through some hard times).
All the 500 owners i have met have said the same thing and you have the full support of the real 500 enthusiasts. Looking forwards to next year and meeting up with you, darren, andy, sean and all the other guys that made me so welcome this year.

ROSS. its nice to be trusted with the cars he has.gary was impressed with the way the evo went back looking.but they didnt like the fact they have to keep it clean now
the 500's? think thats a mis-type
but i will get my cleaning gear on the under bonnet of the "statue" as his moonstone minter is known. she's not minging but just needs some tlc.
