'Monkeys RS Turbo
Thought i might aswell start a thread for this. Learnt to drive in it when on holiday in Dad's home country of Cyprus. Overpowered, lightweight and dangerous, it's like a golf but not a golf
It's a very rare C plate car, which means it was either a media or demo car before being shipped to Cyprus in '96.
Started restoring it this year a bit.
At the start of the long processing of grinding out metal, grafting in new sections and then smoothing it all!
Fair to say the old bonnet had been filled up more times than Jordan!

Who needs aircon in 40 degrees heat when you can drive your car like this?
Getting there
4 coats of 2pk paint, bit of cmpounding later, not even polished or lacquered!

Driven an old interceptor like that, went well for a big car but made me feel nauseous for some reason.
I like the Rs!

Got a right bargain today at the car boot! Mongoose stainless steel backbox, pipercross carbon fibre induction kit and a HKS mushroom air filter for a grand total of £5! The backbox on the RS is pretty rotten so the SS backbox was a nice surprise
Carbon and red alloy Nomnom
And the collection of air filters is worryingly large now

Been gathering a few more bits for her
TIM boost gauge and holder
Had some problems whilst rebuilding the turbo, this id the remnants of one of the water banjo bolts
Turbo is now fully rebuilt, just awaiting some new banjo bolts
And a nice Magnex exhaust system. 2 1/2" pipe with 4" rolled tip.
Should be alright for now, need some original s2 alloys to finish her off though
