Standard ........... you have 2 other modded toys to play with, also if these silly new laws come into place you know you can at least still use the Rs

[123escorts]

do you live on here or are you stalking me???...lol....i am thinking that i should just restore it.......

[Savvi]

I'm thinking Trev should restore it and you just polish and break it.

[Lil Bill]

I'd say restore it as mk2 RS200's do look awesome standard

Me too too many modded cars atm " standard " is the future remember you heard it from me first

Or do both, restore the body to standard and have modern running gear/additions like it might be if it were built today, electric windows, central locking, decent but not ott stereo, air con, disc brakes all round, duratec, six speed box. At the end of the day you should do what you want so you use it!

Get the body done back to standard and then uprate the rest, that is what i have done with my mexico, i got a 2 door ghia to cut up, will you be coming to the meet at the eagle in the estate.

If it's a real rs2k, restore. It'll be worth more when done properly.

 

If its a half tatty 1100. They're quite boring to drive as standard!

[Savvi]

Its a genuine Mk2 Rs2000 ...........

I realise that. I was just saying, if it were a 1100 (which it's not). Modifying it would be a good thing.

I will have to take you out in my mex now it is done, the shell has not been touched only the running gear and it goes alright.

[GJUK]

Also depends if you want to sell it anytime soon as well.

 

Remember Forsticle, or Frosticle. Can't remember his exact username, he had a bright green rs2000 which he's stuck everything from a new age car to it. Then decided to sell up.

 

I know it was advertised for a while, think it failed to sell on eBay. Not sure if he still has it or sold it. I can only expect that had it been a cosworth powered standard looking rs2k, or modified to suit the cars year more, it may have been worth more/easier to sell.

yeah i know the car iv seen it a few times it wasent far from me....i wouldnt mod mine like that it was a bit over the top for my liking...think it had about 20 gauges mounted to the dash... wonder where it is now or what it looks like now??

[rallyesport04]

its your car do what ever you want to it if it was mine i probably do the same standard looking with the yb on carbs as it easily put back to standard for a quick sale if needed

[Mr Day]

Standard all the way
