Its like this..... I was looking for another shell to work on, to build summin from skratch. I had loads of offers of breakers and salvage motors but nothing that was even worth thinking about spending time on untill..... My maytee told me about this S1 RST :D

I looked inside n it looked mint. The trim was sweet and carpet looked like it had never been stood on.
Image


SO, i decided to take the seats, dash, carpet, door cards, and sound dending out so i could have a good look at what the floor was like.

**Above pic was taken after even more striping before the paintshop**



I couldnt belive how a 20+ old motor could have such good condition floor pan & sills. :shock:


Now i thought, this is too good to be true.....

I started to look around the outside of the car in depth, checking every line, Panel & kit . I tried to feel under the arches but it was a mission to get my hands under the kit enough so we decided to do it "proper" to start with and full steam ahead took the side skirts, bumpers, and plastic arches all off..... :twisted:

***NOW IN PAINT****

The poor bloke i was gonna buy this car off must of thought WTF r they do to my car :roll: By this time i had already made my mind up about the car but wanted to make sure that it was! EXACTLY! what i wanted :wink:

Slowly getting there. The car is now rolling.....again....set of konis + Re-con antiroll bar + Nylon Bushes. New steering rack and TCA's.

Your the second person to tell me that so i assume that the quality of the stickers are good, but i still dont know if its worth waiting for FORD FAIR and the other big shows incase i find some. I would prefer to have FORD items. :)
