This is my 1977 RS2000 which i bought from essex a couple of months ago ! i only seen the pictures attached before i bought it because i live in manchester the deal was done over the phone i then sent a recovery truck to bring it home ! since these pics i have stripped it and its now at the welders having floor pans , spare wheel well , and other bits in the usual places ! i will post some more pictures in a bit when i figure out how to resize but things are moving nice and fast and im hoping it will see tarmac in twelve months , thanks for looking john

WHITES THE BEST COLOUR

The Boot !!!!!!!!!!

the boot is finally near completion !! its been a long and hard job to do and at times nearly broken me !! just put the first coat of acid etch primer on ! then two more primer coats before three coats of paint ! the bastard will never rust again ! All the rust was cut out and new pannels fitted . Ive spent six weeks in total on the boot because it was so bad but now can see the end with each day passing ! thanks for looking . john

And all the people who take time to look !! thanks very much for the kind words and parts !! it really helps when your up against it ! its getting there slowly but ive taken me time trying to save as much of the original car as possible ! and i dont like filler so ive pannel beated and sweated me nuts off to keep the filler to a minimum ! Thanks again lads and more pictures to come over the next few months . john
