I now have a Rouse 304r
Well after 7 years since selling my last Saph and 4 years since selling my Escort, On Monday I got offered a deal on this Rouse 304r and thought sod it why not.!!! By tuesday night it was mine.!!!!
I forgot how horrible the 4wd cosworths actually are.!!!!! I need to make it RWD.!!!!
Anyway guys im in need of some bits to put it back to original as i can.
Few bits i need up to now.
Boot Carpet
Steering wheel
Stereo
Rh Bonnet vent
Standard wheels (to purchase or deal with the Comps)
I plan on spending a bit of time getting it mint again, It doesnt need a lot to be honest just mainly cosmetics.
I will probably get fed up soon and sell it again.!!!
Here is a pic just taken.!!!

Lovely! Reckon you should make the 4wd work for you, by shoving a lot of power through an uprated box!

Wondered how long till someone Recognised it.!!!! It is indeed Doo's old car H304 EGS.
Not as nice as it was back then but should be back to its former glory soon.!!!!

What about hydro dipping.??
What finish would look good. I don't want a chav look and as they are in white I personally think they look chavvy.!!!!!!
I didn't really want silver but looking at ideas it is pretty original isn't it.??
Regards
Mike

Nice car. I like the rouse saffs. If it was mine I would be putting the standard clear indicators back on the car.

Cheers guys. I'm going silver wheels sod it.!!!!
Wind deflectors already removed.
Need some amber rear lights.???
I'll give it a good polish soon and get some good pics up.
The engine is pretty good spec and pulls really well. It's got
Newish bottom end with pocketed pistons.
Fully ported head
Bd10 cams
Swedish inlet plenum
T38 turbo
Rs500 cooler
Siemens black injectors
Etc etc
I'm reckoning somewhere around 350bhp but possibly more. Could possibly do with a bit of a mapping session.!!
Regards
Mike

I normally totally agree with this, but white on a black car looks alright as well
