i think the only other type i have seen is the fishnet style on the UK rs'? whats russ' like i havent looked that closely at it? are his original? there is a tiny tiny hole on the drivers seat i might get my mum to stich up before it gets bad, and you can see on the side of the drivers chair they have stiched that up as it has been damaged when folding the seat forward?... im gona do something about the door interior, im thinking something maybe simmilar to seans but i would like to keap in original[x2x].... still deciding  did rob put all the momo stuff in the car? like the badge on the dash and you can see under the mirrors where there have been more stickers, the einstien painted over the stickers and then ripped them off! was this all MR RS' doing? cheers rhys

Yeh all that stuff was on it when he got it. Think that was the doing of the owner when it was plated 'MR RS'.
Russ' is much finer pattern than what you've got. If not original, then they've been very well kept, coz they're in pretty schmick nick. Who knows.....

Hehe, not good to hear Rhys, but I know the roads round there are quite slippery. Just like my street!
Damage your rim/wheel at all?

Haha Woolies..., Yeh I've just been slapped with extra hours coz were short workers, ones on holidays and ones sick. Go in and speak to my manager. If you want to I'll pass on his details. Then we'd be up to 3Escort owners at work.
Ever considering buying a banger for a few hunge? Keep you going while you work on the RS? Just read lotsa books and give it a go, will save you some cash. I'd say mechanic would be charging on upside of $1500 to set fuel injection up and dyno. Going through it at the mo myself but dont have to worry about building the computer, only hooking it up.

yeh if you can give me his details that be great! as i finish school in 3 weeks and will have nothing to do but lurk on here all day! (not that it is a bad thing![;^)])
ive considered it, then considered how lazy i am and added the two together and all that would aventuate out of it would be 1)rs would not leave the shed for over a year!!![:I][V]
i rang a few places (4 or 5) and i got about around the 1000 mark (thats tunning it on the dyno but not hours perfecting etc) yes its a bit but it would be done right! and quick....
say this had nothing to do with electronics i would be fine, but i have always been as dum as a holden driver at electronics[8~2][V][;^)]
im still contemplating but would like to earn money while i contemplate....i would like to have it all done by around new years. i have been doing the maths all day and completely everything including buying parts, mechanic and adding a bit on as always it comes out to at cheapest $2200 to as much as $3500!!!![:u] but more around the $2500 area.
ohwell either way all the gear gets covered up in the shed till im a bringin in more cash![:p][:I]
cheers rhys
