80s Styling

[SoundillusioN]

its a shame some people dont look after things as say i would, i mean if i had been given one of those cars id have kept it mint to this day, i mean the RS 2000 is a £75k car and was brand new, the base car was donated by ford who part funded the whole project

it is sad as the rs ended up asking for £5500 to buy it!

worth that all day long

it could be restored correctly quite easily and that car will be worth ££££ in the future with them genuine rally arches and F2 lump

old ford RS's hold their value like flies to sh!t and that one is something special under that mad paint

Reference the Max Power Corrado TSR built the engine, the car was a complete shed before all the work was done on it.

It was a std red 1.8 16v that had been lightly rear ended plus front corner damage hence why they paid so little for it, we fitted a 2.0 but they did not want to uprate the brakes or susp at the time.

Did they leave the breaks standard in the end then

From what I heard yes plus a set of lowering springs was all they fitted.

was all about looks really wasnt it

like i said before it was not built very well at all, the pink Ford was a much better project even tho it was a daft colour

To sum up how bad things were, they would not even fit a set of wiper blades.
