Escort Rs 2000 Mk2

Originally purchased in the 90’s and sent off for restoration the owner was disappointed with the over all finish lost interest in the Rs and parked it up in a garage and left it there, after seeing the restoration of his friends Rs 2000 that we completed he decided to book it in with us and give it the paintwork it deserved

 

From a distance it looks ok but up close the paint finish was poor and the underside and the engine bay were a totally different shade of yellow

 

The interior was also poorly finished

The Rs was tested to a strip down and the bare metalled so we could start a fresh and get the bodywork arrow straight and all the panel gaps perfect

  A fresh coat of the correct signal yellow, and a good flat and polish and the Rs is ready to refit

Some re-gasketing of the engine and box was required before refitting

The interior had already been re trimmed and all was in good condition so just needed a clean and re-fit

All back together and back with a happy customer
