Looks good but I always wonder why people throw so much money at replicas when they could just start with a genuine rs in the first place? Not having a dig as it looks really good but I just prefer cars to look more or less factory just with silly power

i just sold my h reg series 2 turbo on saturday it had rust on the roof and a little hole it had holes in the floor needed a new battery tray etc etc etc ive had 5 other series 2 turbos all piles of shite ive looked at 4k series ones before all plated up piles of shit rusty as fook i have a look at a w reg xr3 thats done 92k and its very very clean the point im getting at is an escort shell is an escort shell and people who get a hard on because there documents say rs turbo and the shell is minging just doesnt appeal to me i would rather look for a good shell rs shell or not it doesnt bother me in the slightest its condition that matters most to me because i know what old fords are like for tin worm lol.
theres a guy in my town that has recently bought a so called MINT red rs turbo ex fast ford feature car 5k he paid for it put it in for its mot a couple of months later FAIL get the welder out rotten underneath lol

i might keep it and spend a couple of quid on it myself but i get bored of cars easily so it might get sold on like the rest of my cars its nice to drive though and doesnt hang about

I wasn't knocking the car at all as it looks superb but if it was mine I would want it to look like a standardish xr3, as thats what it is, with the power to show up most cars. Maybe i'm just jealous you got such a bargain
