Thought i'd stick a link up to my thread from RSOC forum. Almost every spare penny i earn from work is going into this project.

I'm hoping once finished FastFord would do a feature on it? Been a dream of mine to have my RS in a mag, So splashed out on anything i needed or had on a 'to buy list over the years'.

Please note this is a DIY resto in a tight garage using my knowledge and own work(excluding welding and paint spraying) so its properly not up to the standard some projects ive seen on here. But you gotta get stuck in

Fordmad!

Get some pics up on here!

RSmark84

OK, i know some dont like going on there. so will post some up here. Will be pretty random mind.

Fordmad!

Loving the wheels!

RSmark84

Thanks lads. Are the wheels meant to have the blue Compomotive logo on them?

When uprating the front brakes do you need a bias valve?

RSmark84

No, I have the 2WD cosworth conversion RS2000 H/B kit. I've got more pics in the link, including the conversion kit.

Got myself an uncut pracel shelf, currently its drying in the bath after getting a good scrub with bleach

Will then fit the new straps.

Got bored trying to source a new brake res. So popped to my local ford breakers and picked up this, it cam with the master cylinder from a MK3 Fiesta. Not bad for Ł15.



Put through the machine and wiped cleaned, came out looking top trumps!



Friday should see the car back up on axle stands and work starting on the LHS, wanting the front inner arch finished and stonechiped ready for paint etc by sunday.

What did u paint the underside with?

RSmark84

Oil based paint. more durable than water based.

Looking good man

Cheers Paul

Did u seal it or anything first or just primer onto bare metal then paint?

P.s comps are definately the nicest wheels for a s2

RSmark84

Thanks Lads, Yeah I took the chassis back to bare metal, primed it all. Then a couple of weeks later i sealed it all with stonechip, left for a couple of days then painted.
