It is with regret......My Early MK2 RS2000...

[Aled]

some very good work going on Al

what is the engine like,does it need a rebuild

Dale is busy with the escorts at the min

Some bits and bobs today Joe.......

The engine does not need a rebuild. As you know from the European tours we do, the engine is sweet as a nut. It was rebuilt 21 k ago (verified) when I bought it in 1995. I am putting new buits on it, consisting of new Clutch assembly....water pump, + fuel pump.

As well as that, the head will be convereted to unleaded, as putting in lead-additive is a chore The 200 block is in good nick

Servo was sprayed and looks a lot better.....brake pipes ordered, as well as master-cylinder seals A few pics below:

Sevo b4:

Servo after:



It has got imperfections, but very happy with it overall

Excuse the shade in the pics, but it was down to the lighting. The engine bay looks a million times better now.
Strut tops to do, powder coat the crossmember, fit new brake lines, titivate the bulkhead pad, clean the carb and refit engine once the head returns from getting converted to unleaded.
