Might be getting a mk2 RS2000 but......
....... how can i tell its defo a 100% genuine RS2000? What tell tale signs are there?
Basically the chap a few units down for me has had one dry stored for over 13 years. It belongs to some bird who has never bothered with it! Its in currently in primer (was going to be resprayed but only reached primer!)! It has all the bits with it in boxes and already has a freshly built 2.1 Pinto and 5 speed box!
Before I part with some money (not a lot saying that!!!
) I wanted to double check if there are any key things to look for. Having a brief look I couldn't see fook all rust!
Any advice would be sound!
Cheers
Chris

MKII RS shell has a number of "special" features
Inner wings strenghtened with extra top plates and wing rail strengthener
Re-shaped front cross member and slam panel/radiator rail
If its a Custom model then the dash clock pod has a factory "punched" out hole in dash panel
Correctly positioned gearstick hole
Gearbox lowering blocks
Alloy sump
Strengthener plate for the exhaust hanger bracket (remove rear seat to find it)
Rear spring front hangar skid plates
Factory fit rear axle anti tramp bars
Plus of course the obvious RS2000 front wings and nosecone
Twin fuel lines
Just the above are a starter for you
Take a look here as well
