RS2000 MK2 RESORATION - FOR THE BRAVE / STUPID

Don't like the wheels much, otherwise good effort.

It's great when you get a freshly painted shell back. On the one hand you're scared to go near it with any tools in case you scratch it and on the other hand you can't wait to make a start.

Great work.

Oh and see how many people say it will only take a couple of weeks and it will be finished now. I'm into over 600 hors since this stage and although not finished the end is in sight (maybe).

Fantastic effort! Well done! Dedicated people such as yourself help keep the classic car scene alive & kicking! It is very gratifying to see a comparatively rare & desirable RS2000 being subject to such a labour of love. I look forward with considerable anticipation to seeing the finished product. Great effort sir!

Good effort ! Had one of these in 1980, a terracotta custom DHD787V, will be watching your progress with interest .

[BOMBER123]

The worrying thing is I got another one as a donor car , but might now do this one up too after the blue one is done , yes i know i am mad

[garypotter]

Top job so far, please keep the updates coming

Aye, keep it up, a good mate of mine has restored a number of them and is very well known in RSOC circles, i have owned around 5 in the past, wish i had still had them now !

Getting there

Looking good

Nice work Jon - looking good.

You have got to my favourite part of any restoration. Before that point, and as you take more and more bits off it just looks worse and worse. Now it just gets better and better.

[Mr Tidy]

Great to see one getting saved - wish I still had mine!
Mind you it would doubtless have needed the same attention as yours by now, at least once - 70's Fords did rust a bit!
