Here's a few pics of my latest project to keep my busy over the Uni holidays.

As far as I know its a stock 2lt. Its a genuine RS, and came with all RS gear except the shortshifter, clock in console and glovebox. It has rust in floor pan and a little in firewall. This will all be replaced once exams are over. Then Im going to tidy up the body work and respray it something along the lines of Diamond White or similar.
Still unsure whether or not to re-colour code the grill section.

Its been off the road for 9 or so months and has basically not been touched in that time so it's a bit rough around the edges.

I've also reserved some suitable number plates for it.

Good to see you have sseen the light
It will grow on you.Nice one anyway.The wheel's look great.

Looks good,
I say keep the grill white

looks like a good project. i like 4 doors... i reckon you should put it back to how it should be. black grill and black mirrors.

nah black the front for sure mate! when is she planned to make a appreance? would look great her next to mine, specially if you buy those Simmons in the forsale section!!!![88]

Glenn,
I couldn't say as I've only been around the block in it, and hadn't been run in 9months so would say its not in the best of 'tunes'.

Jase,
I've always been a 2dr fan and always will be, but to me its still an Escort and its my first RS so yes....these 4drs are growing on me.

Rhys,
Hopefully <2months. (I'll race you, who can get their white RS on the road 1st)
Simmons...[:p] if only I had that sort of spare coin.
