Awesome work, Dave. That's a car you can really cherish.

Cheers Mark. And yea, I'm planning on keeping this as long as I can, as I know prices can only go up in the future. Planning to freshen it up as I go along like I have with the front end this winter

Lovely Job Dave!!!

You just gonna keep it oem?

Cheers mate. And yes, it was completely standard and unmolested when I bought it, I'm only the third owner, full service history, so its the kind of car that will hold its value alot better remaining OEM. And I prefer OEM anyway

[FRSJON]

Thanks Jon

Bit of an update!

Managed to get down to the garage this afternoon to get the RS more sorted ready for Fiesta in the Park. Started her up for the first time since last October and did all the things for the ECU to re-learn idle (AC on, lights on, fan on etc)

Then pulled her out the garage for the first time since October, so good to see her out in the open again! Filthy but will be thoroughly washed before back on the road.

Also managed to get my new header tank fitted, as well as my new dipstick tube, both look so much better!

Before anyone mentions it, also got a new power steering tank to fit next.

Finally, got the rear wheels off ready to get new Michelin PS3's fitted on tuesday

Some Pics:

New dipstick vs. old:

[black2]

Absolutely quality work, car looks amazing, a real credit to you.

Thanks Gareth, means alot

You should go for it. Areguement for her indoors: They are currently at the lowest price they will be, and can only go up in value, therefore it is a long term investment

Good stuff mate bay looking good, well the whole car too but I gotta say I likes a nice clean tidy engine bay

Cheers Jay

And I agree, hate to see a nice car and a neglected engine bay, its the heart of the beast!
