Ok i got this car a while back, a K reg mk5a RS2000, paid aboot £350 for it as it was rotten beyond repair underneath and in a few other places lol


I then got another 1994 mk5a 1.3 shell and transfered everything from the rs onto this


engines removed

the I4 lump complete with subframe, suspension, s/rack etc


ready to be fitted


Now fitted (sorry phone pic)


And at the moment its off getting sprayed in radiant red, will get more pics up when it returns

 

Quality. Are you transfering the chassis number or are you declaring it....

 

looking good mate

 

good idea!!

 

How do you mean? is it legal to change the chassis number?
All i've done is change the engine capacity and the engine number on the log book

 

well done mate

 

Nice work

 

Cheers folks, forgot to mention, the wheels are getting powdercoated white!

 

nice project mate

 

Whens it due back mate?

Carn't wait too see it

 

Quality conversion

 

Should of left it looking like a 1.3, go for the sleeper look.

Oh by the way they are both mk5b's

 

If all goes to plan i should have it back tommorow night, fingers crossed.

Its a Mk5a mate the later models were the 5a's and the earlier ones were called the 5b's, would think it would be the other way around but there you go

 

Ok car still isnt ready so wont be getting it back today

Just ordered a full stainless mongoose exhaust off ebay, £209 delivered and my regi plates just arrived today lol

 

looking good

 

Great job!

 

 

Cars looking good mate , its NOT a MK5a though, the earlier ones where a's the later ones were b's, have a lookie threw any ford forum and the net for confirmation if you need it mate lol.

Oh and what he meant about the chassis numbers was transferring them over and then transferring the numberplate across so it would still be seen as an "RS"...not sure why you would but each to his own!

Keep up the good work mate, get some piccies when its painted

 

Just got it back from the painters this morning. Its looking not too bad for just £350 quid, will get more pics once its built up. Wheels are away at the moment getting coated, should be back in about a week

 

Took some more pics with my shite nokia phone;

Heres the mongoose system which I fitted today, sounds awsome!


Fitted some other bits including the handles which they forgot to paint

 

looking good mate, keep the pics flowing!!!

 

Will do, just wish i had a real camera lol

 

Meant to post this one, thats how that other one came up twice

 

£350 for a respray

 

nice

wheres your tires

 

heres how its looking at the moment

 

looking good

i see you have flaps on aswell

 

looks nice mate

 

yes, made them flaps myself from plastic off the bottom of a pallet of monoblock lol

 

Got a spare RS2K break servo/master cylinder by any chance?


Good project, you've done well

 

sorry i dont have them mate but this guy should have one http://www.jdmotorsport.com/ If its not listed on that site try his ebay shop http://stores.ebay.co.uk/JD-Motorsport

I know the servo is the same as the other escorts as i used one from the 1300 escort as the rs one was rusted to hell, not sure what other cars use the master cylinder tho as it has pipes for the abs on it. The xr3i one mite be the same?

 

wanna swop your gti wheels for a set off 17inch karns mate e mail me at spencerwarren@hotmail.co.uk

 

Sorry mate, gave the wheels away, they were only 14" ones from a fiesta si, not the gti ones
