I know these cars are like Marmite here but I know lots do like um so thought I'd chuck up another RS2000 I havfe.


I picked this up a few month back with the intention of using it to run in my maxi engine

well that plans gone out the window and I've gotten carried away with it

some pics =

The day it arrived on my drive









Engine bay is truely minging



Oil in the header tank (foobar head gasket)





Seats are mint only 79K





Think the near front has had sumink doen in the past see the bolt loacations for the head light

also has red bonnet hinges





Scorpion s/s full system, my favourite system on an RS is Scorpion







the rest is rust I have found on the n/s

nothing massively OTT though tbh

havent look at shasisi legs yet

bottom of pass door has rusted slightly and bubble in the centre

rear arches are not rotten but have rush apearing on them

I think me and Sam can tackle all this when weather warms up a little









one thing also is the bonnet has a crack in paint on usualy pressure point in the middle





found another rust bubble on top of windscreen seal



Sun roof edge is mint though



Put all trim back in looks tidyer found fag burn in rera bench though so Im after another one also drivers seat seems to have collapsed the undernieth support to it but the seats mint so will remove and try and repair it




few lads have popped around and seen it and think its a bargain lol






looking like a car again now



got these this morning rear bench with rear head rests

Had them in Lucifer and Stretch has got set but these arent quite the same

they have a slight pattern in the head rest it self but ill get then retrimmed using my old rear bench lol






I just cant help meself lol mint RS interior that came from a show car that totaled on a trailer





How fooking kool does it look now!!!! lol

Some fat rims





can ya tell what it is yet pmsl





No rims


Rimage



sexy rimage lol


couple more bits

De-Cat



Leccy sunroof motor





as people were moaning when they came to my house about the car being used as a storage cupboard on the new interior lol

I decided to clean it out and bolt it all in propperly

as Ive decided to take time away from L2 I thought I'd piss about on this for a while

random clean pics









Enine bay tomorrow lol


started stripping the RS now and looking and finding faults.

Found that the front panneks are rotten to fuck and loads of bad wiring in the engine bay, also this is the filthyest RS I've ever seen, went to remove fannymold and you can see this car is a vergin to any type of spanner has never been worked on before....

some pics of the shite...

Minirotty

PS - It's being built to look quite like this one but most likely faster as running t/b's on this one (the black one Lucifer 1)

CarbonRick

Thanks Rick

Minirotty

I got a bit heavy handed today lol



here have a look

started off quite well trial fitted new wing on it





then went to fit another door onto passenger side and went to close it and didnt shut but then also wouldnt open again as it was trapped so only choice was to muller the wing





see it didnt fit








Sams been over and says we can save the other door btu if it had been the other side we couldnt have saved it as that door was well fooked

see I had no choice

gutted about the wing and door m8

Minirotty

cheers bud, not to bad at all though as the wing was to be removed asap any way lol so just a fact the original door will be kept and a little bit of work done to it to make it minters

Minirotty

Both font wings off of it now

some chav drilling out all spot welds on front cross member



also strut brase fitted to keep it all in place for when front end and engine come out

cossiedevil

Coming along nicely top work.

Minirotty

Got this in the post today thanks to Daz at JDM and Craig for sorting paypal as mines still fooked

ROOSE inlet pipe



I know were running bike bodies on this but thought with Sams new hobby of porting I'd have a go at seeing what power we can get out of a standard inlet also as Lucifer ran well on one but now we've learnt a lot more about the inlet and can improve on last time.


PS cant wait for this thread to hit page two as the images are an arse on me pc lol

Minirotty

Cheers mate

McGoo 69

Minirotty

cheers bud, just a little bit to different for me mate also living in Birmingham got bored of being asked where has my shiney tissue box gone from the parcel shelf.

AD-RS1600i

Good project keep it going

Seeing all the rust makes me cringe, i've just had my rs2k done during the summer but I can see the rot coming back with all the rain we've had as mine sits outside....

I bet you were gutted when you had to chop into the wing.Keep up the good work.

Minirotty

Get a good car cover mate, I rebuild an engine for me mate Ste whos got a near concourse RS he keeps out side under a cover and is OK all year round.

Was a bit gob smacked when shut the door and it wouldnt close and then wouldnt open

Going to be bolt fixing the new wings though as another lad I know with a nice MK5 did it and look great.

So how come the door didnt fit.A freind of mine has a Mk6 RS2000 and he took a door of a billy basic 3dr escort and he went to put it on his RS200 and it didnt line up.

Minirotty

I think from what I've been told mate theres two hinge fittings on escorts which is wierd

we had it on a couple of escos shells aswell when changing doors that some would and some wouldnt fit.

My Maxi project has MK5 doors on it and they fitted strate on

No adjustment in the hinge design so kind of fucked if they dont fit

think it was ford being gay, we had a k plate rs2k in at work (mk5 front mk6 back) and a mk5 door didn't fit even though they look some same, had to get 1 off a car that was the same shape.
