Not that many white RS's on here. Nice to see another..

[sibabe]

that looks beautiful mate!

[wez coop]

yes the car actually does look nice with no visable rust , it just needs more welding than the titanic lol. shame thow as everything else is good, as was rebuilt begining of this year only running @ 178 but any more and i rekon it would pull the front end off

[BLaCk SeRiEs 1]

looks tidy, ashame about the rust

[rye]

shame about the rust mate surely its worth saving or even re shelling!

[Jano_OddKidd]

My first RST was the same looked stunning but was a death trap underneath Ended up partly reshelling the bits...

[Scooby-Slayer-Joey]

When you say re-shell, how do you mean?

[BLaCk SeRiEs 1]

sticking all the running gear ect... into a cleaner shell

[Scooby-Slayer-Joey]

Wont that cost a bomb? I know a new shell for my Mini would cost about ?2k+

[lincolnRS2]

Sweet ride mate

[rye]

wot you have to do matey is search your local bargain pages and car adds and look for mint mk4 escort with like 10k miles for like ?500 and build that

an easier option in your case would be to buy a mint xr3i (mfi) and turbo it

[BLaCk SeRiEs 1]

:o Wont that cost a bomb? I know a new shell for my Mini would cost about ?2k+

na not really, you can pick up escort shells pretty cheaply, its finding a good one thats hard,

also it doesnt have to be a RS shell

[geordie_liam]

cheaper insurance too,lol,what officer?you heard a whistle from my orion 1.6GL?surely not! lol

[steveS2]

[rye]

yeah cheaper insurance unless you take the log book with it

[Scooby-Slayer-Joey]

Well my plan was always simple (And feel free to take this off Mods lol, I may be investigated by the Feds..)

Buy (depending on what car I decide on) the cheapest and shittest model of that car, and buy the higher spec model I liked too, (for example... Escort RST and Escort Popular) get a SORN on the RS, insure the popular, say its whatever colour the RS is, swap the plates n ta da... lol

[rye]

my friend did that got hes car impounded by the police

and becareful you dont hit any other cars cause you will be paying for it out of ur own wallet

[Scooby-Slayer-Joey]

That, my friend, will be a risk I might be willing to take... Or not...

[geordie_liam]

i thought bout doin that like but u got 2 watch incase u get stopped nd they check the chassis number,at least wiv my orion i got the very likely chance of them not havin a clue about the engine when they look at it,lol,its still a 1.6 innit?lol its just got a dirty big turbo strapped to it!!

[rye]

just becareful dudes

[geordie_liam]
