Did you get the transfer box from tamworth of ebay ????????????

kitchy

yeh the transfer box was from tamworth and off ebay, i sold it again tho

kitchy

lets just say it cost me a fair bit of cash cos i had a full respray and loads of welding, infact it cost more than the car in the 1st place

Good work... always had a soft spot for the RS2k's! now get out there and enjoy it!!!

kitchy

gotta get out and find the powersteering fluid leak, cos i have no powersteering now

thought it was just a drip till i filled it up turned the wheels and it sprayed out from the front bumper, but its nowhere near the pump

danposs86

All that work and the boot strip isnt colour coded lol

Lee Reynolds

Nice one mate, looks great. Dont matter what it cost if your happy with it

kitchy

found the powersteering leak, the cooling loop infront of the rad has corroded and has a hole in it, more fun

What is that dirty thing next to it in the petrol station? Another 2K is it?

kitchy

MalteseFalcon

I never saw a car this rusty!!!! I was going nuts when I saw two little dots of rust on the roof of my MK4 escort which I use everyday. Good luck with this project mate!

BM08

Bit cleaner there then

kitchy

Small update...

collected a set of ST170 calipers and pads today to go with my braided brake hoses and new servo that i already had, pics will follow shortly, this should sort out the braking issues that ive been having with my car recently as i have no confidence at all in the brakes that are on it!!!

in the morning im gonna be ordering a set of gaz coilovers and i also have a set of RS2000 badges on on their way to me, if anybody has any brand new genuine Ford RS2000 4x4 badges from an RS2000 please email cos i want some but cant get them anywhere

kitchy

Finally got myself a camera

rs2000kev

AWSOME IF YOU DONT MIND ME ASKIN HOW MUCH DID YOU PAY ON THE SUSPENSION??

kitchy

rs2000kev

suspension was Ł500 its gonna be here in 2-3 weeks cos they need to be made dont think they sell many RS2000 4x4 kits

rs2000kev

cool,thats not bad realy is it!! Ł500 for the whole lot,might have to purchase a set of those myself!

danrs2k

Who sorted out your welding mate? I took mine for the mot last week n it failed on chassis floor pan u kno usual rs2k rot not got any room to do it at mine

kitchy

a friedn of a friend did the welding, i have no contact details for him at all, hes in stoke, kinda made it hard to check on progress but he did a good job

My new brakes arrived today, they are fooking awesome

Brakes are lovely but how the hell you going to mount them?

Get some custom billet mounts made up or do they bolt straight up?

If it's easy I might look into an upgrade for my Focus which is currently wearing ST170 brakes

kitchy

custom brackets when ive recovered from spending all my cash ill be off to reyland to get some, i have only 16 inch wheels tho

Sjon

nice brakes...they kinda need a good clean

Will fit nicely behind those 16 inches

Now a bit worried about my st170 brakes because they look very tiny next to your new ones

At least they will be a nice upgrade from the non vented, non groved, non drilled 240mm discs I have at the moment

kitchy

they will get a clean... yeh im thinking the AP's will be a good upgrade for my 260mm i have a the min, at least your KA is nowhere near as heavy as my old bus tho mate nothing wrong with the ST170's ive just sold mine without fitting them to the car tho

Sjon

lol

Its about 800kg

Minirotty

Looking good Adam

kitchy

Sjon

800kg is nothing mate, what you worried about, kerbweight of mine is 1240kg, thats before i get in

Minirotty

cheers mate

Sjon

nothing really

would love to see those new ones fitted
