Re: dutch rs1800
Seen that a couple of times over here, and it does look fairly smart indeed! I think it might look cleaner with the bonnet more standard looking perhaps, or more of a curve above the lights rather than the hard straight lines

Re: dutch rs1800
I have used a set of escort mk5 morette's.
Also tryed cossie morretes but the are a bit longer then the mk5 version.
Fitted also a custom front, fiesta bonnet catch and escort headlight partd.
I have a new rear pi spoiler that need to be fitted. The mondeo/fiesta one isn't my thing.
Also the engine need to be replaced for a 2,0 zetec turbo.
Interior needs some mods, flocking, doorpods..audio, black headlining et.
Lots to do

Re: dutch rs1800
Some parts back from the powercoater
only thing I didn't think off, removing the bearings in the lower arm... so I could buy 2 new ones
Also sand blasted the spaxx shocks, and sprayed the primer on them
Sandblasted the inlet ( did it before mounting it on the head )
From this:
to this
Also tried the frst throttlebody on it
Painted it high gloss black for a nice finnish
only needs a new gasket and polishing the top

Re: dutch rs1800
More parts back from the coater
didn't like the brown look from the rear engine mount.. so sandblasted them and painted black
Lower arms.
Did took the complete bushes out of the arms... didn't need to do that ..dohh
So I found 2 other rearbushes. and destroyed them
after a couple of minutes

Re: dutch rs1800
This looks fantastic! Some great work had gone Into this ! Don't suppose you have some pictures of the Inside
Of your inlet manifold ? The welded together box . I'm thinking of doing this for myself but note sure if you need angles/trumpets etc for airflow
