interesting thread i never knew of the 4x4 s2 as such..... but this year i also found out a mk3 rs1600i 4x4 was made and a fella was selling it cheap enough as needed putting back together, but as no one knew much bout such a car i think my mate who was offered it was apprehensive...... then fate has it i bought a wheel local to me off ebay, went round there and it was the former keeper of the car, he ended up selling it so expect that to turn up at sum point in the futere........ full steel bottom end turbo running gear 4x4 rs1600i!

Anyone know if this bumper is avalible anywhere, looks a bit like the rattle snake kit front bumper and kit looks simular to the Gennini arches![Smile](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)

is it wrong that i think those arch trims and skirts look wierdly gorgeous?
it is very much like the sierra 3 door kit choped an moulded to fit the escort
any one ever seen a s2 with a 3door kit modified to fit?

I have in my possesion a advert dated 1991 for a escort 4x4 prototype done 1200 miles needing reshelling by a firm called alto automotive.they were based in Rochford essex and were heavily involved selling rs 500 rs200 and cosworth parts. You find someone who worked @ Alto in 91 and your mystery is solved.. Oh and John wheeler isn't exactly hard to find either..
Can't see how to put pics up on my shit smart phone though

I can remember G343 FRE, the story as I remember was the transmission parts turned up in a scrapyard. The car was then built by collins performance using a brand new shell and registered locally. It changed hands and was owned by Mark Tweed of GT motorsport in Stoke. It was still 4x4 at that point, however the tune of the engine meant the transmission wasnt up to it and it was converted back to standard S2 gearbox. The car looked like any other S2 turbo, only difference over standard were the revolution RFX wheels in white. It was sold on when Mark bought his black 3 door. No idea what happened to it then. I did have quite a few photos of it but can only find one at the moment, and its hiding behind my old sapphire!
