Whooligan's Euro spec RS2000 project

[whooligan]

I recently sourced a 2dr RS2000 for a friend of a friend....Who promptly bailed on me and I was left with a virtually rust free, disassembled car.
I'm eventually going to rebuild it to look like a UK version with black vinyl roof and blacked out rear panel. Have already sourced some ronal rims, injected head and anti-tramp rods, but since buying a XR4 Fiesta, I'm now thinking of doing a 2.0lt Duratec conversion.
Could be a few years before I get really stuck in, though.....I've got a Mk 3 Capri, Mk 1 Escort panel van, a Mk 2 4dr RS2000 and a V8 Capri all to complete before I even remove the tarp. Hopefully, duratecs will be appearing in wreckers by then.

Sounds like a nice project Got quite a few on the go aye, im wanting to start a 2dr RS project myself one of these days just gotta find one within budget and close to toowoomba Good luck with the project

Yes. RS2000s are getting really popular now and even 4drs are fetching decent money. I started sourcing cars for people a few years ago and you could get run-down ones for under a grand. With ebay becoming the main source of cars now, you can double that figure.
