They are tossers, and do not appreciate RS's or RS turbos specifically. They have no idea about the amount of time and effort that Twins (Dave) has put into this car, as well as money and personal skills. They forget its an 18 year old car.

It makes me very angry when people can't appreciate something as wonderful as this restoration project

amazing work gone into this car

iv sat and read thru evry page 2nite, and im in awe of the thing!!! attention to detail is spot on, fair play to u

was kind of wonderin whether i shud bother rebuildin my car, but seeing this has given me so many ideas i think i mite even push the bitch out the garage 2moro and make a start!!!! lol

quick question if ya dnt mind. that loom wrapping/braiding, how do u apply it? do u need to buy all new connectors and feed it over the wires then crimp new connectors on?? or is it split along its length?? i really like the look of it, but i dnt kno if iv got the money or skills to b choppin all the connectors off and replacing them, chances r the car wud never run agen!!!! lol

once again, good work mate, luv the car

As you have said mate you have to cut the plugs off (dont have to buy new ones) and push loom threw sleeving then put the connectors back on its very time consuming as dave will tell you. you dont need to use new plugs ect and only do a couple at a time so you know which ones go were hope that helps



If dave ever sells this i will eat my hat

I've met the same reaction where I live, waaay back in Belgium, the amount of love that I've put in this car is hardly cherished, and that somtimes hurts, very much even. Might be that I live in this non Ford loved country
