Sad times Ran but a sensible one as someone out there like Ade ^ may just be looking for this sort of project to get their teeth into as there is hardly an RSs about nowadays and his RS500 will be pounding the tarmac soon

Steve, i know but i wont get round to it for god knows how long and with the mileage im currently doing im thinking a normal diesel for everyday use would be better, hence letting either this or the saf go - and lets be honest the saf isnt getting sold ever so it leaves this 
I may even just leave it where it is and just come back to it later - decisions decisions

Hey I better Change my name lol it's a 909 shell I wish it was a 500, my dream. I was gonna try and help get it on the track when you was ready to get back to it mate. Or a sub as I sold my van last night. I reckon you should keep her they are getting rarer think what mk1 and 2 escort shells are worth now! I was looking forward to seeing it getting it's head kicked in round the track. I do know where you are coming from though your car mate, but I may buy some of your other bits if she has to go, I can't do another rebuild for a while now lol

Ade and Paul - i hear ya. Still trying to decide what to do. I defo would have loved to kick its head in round a track but that is two years away at least.
Reckon i might just forget about it for a while, as like you say they are getting rarer and rarer - also the bonus is that this has a nice bit of history too with your mate owning it and me bumping into the old reg plate, etc which i like lol.
Fuck it, im going to keep it now and will change the title on this thread
Reckon the 3dr will be 30 years old by the time i finish it 
Still gonna have a look at some nice modern diesels to run about in daily

Too many posts.. I need a life!!
Why not keep the saph as a twincam and just whack your cossie running gear in the 3dr like you originally intended?
Best of both worlds, you get to keep the saph but also have the 3dr as a toy?

dirty diesel for winter saff for summer 
It doesn't matter how long the 3 door takes, your gonna be having fun in the saff anyway. Worst thing I ever did was sell my Mk1 Rs2000 
wish it was tucked away somewhere to this day
With your luck finding plates 
keep yours peeled for it lol LGF 334N

not yet but will have before it hits the road 
have decided to get the whole car painted in and out and will more than likely go Frozen White or similar. I did think about changing to Moonstone but think it will work better as a track car if its white - I may even put some tigetr stripes on it

Like one of the lads has said too many times we make our projects too mint then you wont use it on track days!!!! let the polishing twats have the mint cars as they cant drive and need an excuse to have cars if get what i meen
Keep up with the progress i know its hard as money and time always seem to get in the way
