for an RS2000 nose you need RS2000 wings and bonnet, there are a few ppl sellin them on here. forest 2 flat arch cant c it being that big of a problem just get some rear 1/4 from another mk2, ther are some for sale but there 1k a pair

you need rs 2000 wings for the nosecone job they are about £450 to £550 for a pair
the rear
you need to new quarter's panels and inner arches the quarter's are for sale now at £600 a pair the inners will have to be cut of a car or you can get them from express steel i think they are about £45 each

so to put you car back to standard it will cost about £1200.00 just for the panels... :cheers:

there's a red rs2000 replica shell with nosecone in classic ford this month for £300, it's tempting to buy it and use the bits.
