I just intend to get the car running right and leave it all standard, don't intend to show the car.

Very nice, what wheels did you decide on in the end?

[gearbox100]

Looks great !    Have you stopped standing and staring at it yet ?

[Mickey Stewart]

Very nice, what wheels did you decide on in the end?

Was thinking of just putting 4 spoke RS wheels on, tempted to lower it by inch or two??

 

do you think I should keep it standard or new wheels, cibies and lowered?

[GJUK]

That looks like a rough one

 

(very nayyyce!)

[thrashermax]

Beautiful, well done on finding a good original.

Stick with the mk1 RS alloys mate, especially if you're keeping it standard everywhere else. It does look as if it could do with coming down an inch or two and cibies are a personal thing. I like them and did fit them to mine when I bought it, not everyone likes the look though.

 

What's the history behind it? Part finished restoration?

Looks great mate love it

[mk2cortinadan]

yes thats one lovely car, i remember back in the day around 1984 when i was learning the car trade

a family friend who gave me a saturday job bought an rs2000 exactly in that spec from a salvage yard in ilford, ill never forget that day that car stirred something inside me i went on to own around 200 mk1 escorts in 10 years, that rs2000 nver reached me tho, just a few dozen mexicos. good luck with the car mate shes a stunner

[mk2 mike]

That is absolutely stunning mate Beowulf be a shame to stock anything other than original RS alloys on it.
