Default My 90 Spec S2 RS Turbo

Hi

Here are a few pictures of my very first RS turbo, i bought her the beginning of july 2009 and she looked like this:







The first thing on the agenda was to change the rear lights, i purchased some smoked rears (belive to be optional extra)


in the meantime i found a few ebay bargains including some genuine mk4 escort locking nuts, still in a box for 99p :P


Next big job on my list was to change the horrible bad boy bonnet ops




some new bits: including refub ditributor, samco hoses and minimal engine chrome





This is pretty much how far i got up to with the car untill the end of november 2009, read below for next updates

Looking much better now ,well done ,them rear lights were never an optional extra,just made by an after market company, and they were "named" 90 spec ones after people seeing the saffy ones tinted from factory
