Thank Phil, did you have it for a while? Assuming around the Kent area. Think it spent most of its life around that area?

Gorgeous car. Well done. Aside from all the amazing resto you have done, it amazes me this car survived in the first place. These cars used to dissolve in the rain, all the old ford's showed signs of rust within 5 or so yrs from new. It was said about XR RS ford's that they went well (especially on the arches) closest I got to an RST was an XR3I MK4 . Same colour as yours. Great car but it was hard to keep the rust off. At 7 yrs old, though the car looked mint it was washed polished regularly. it needed a weld done on the spare wheel compartment and the sunroof cradle was crispy and needed replacing. My mate had one as tidy as mine and bought some new alloys for his, as they jacked the car up to put them on the boot buckled.

Thanks Rich, appreciate the comments. I’m not surprised the boot floor buckled though…..doesn’t take much does it 🤦🏼‍♂️🤣 as you can see from the video, near enough all the panels needed replacing so there was some serious work put in by the lads

Beautiful S2 RS Turbo Excellent restoration

Good job, but why is it that virtually every KZread video is accompanied by an annoying soundtrack? There's no need for it. - we're looking at the video! I'm sure I'm not the only one who moves on to another video as soon as I hear this nonsense in the background.
