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

 

So the story continues, at the end of november 2009 i decided that it was time to bring the ca off the road and give it some attention and get it upto sctrach ready for show season. this is where i started!

pictures took with his DSLR, stunning pictures mate love them both together
















Comments very welcome, and hope you enjoyed this as much as i enjoyed the project from start to finish.

 

very nice mate

 

awesome bud

 

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

 

is that right? learn something new everyday

i do prefer them to the standard rears though

 

yep they only ever came with the standard rear lights ,yes they look great on a white one ,you have the better ones aswell as some do fade and go milky

 

i think i was lucky with these ones......thankfully

just need to source some ford orange indicators and fit my mud flaps now

 

Nice inlet manifold lol! looks stunning standard mate! love ambers on erst's, looks so fresh with the white paint!

 

Thanks mate

Unfortunately i dont have the manifold anymore, its all gone back standard - today infact

 

looks lovely mate, thinking about getting a Series 2 myself

good work!

 

Love that!

 

Good job!!
