NIce to see the pics again davie , keep it up and keep them coming

[RS2000EXPRESS]

Just keep on nibbling away at the rust and soon there will be none left!

I really admire people that take on this sort of restoration and wish that I was doing my bit to bring a very sad RS back to it's former glory. Working hard like this on a car will guarantee a lot of satisfaction and respect when the job is finished.

Looking forward to the next installment of pics.

Tim.

good effort there, hats off to you for getting stuck in on it and saving it, felt sure when it was for sale only the VIN tags would live on

Good luck although looks like your pretty well versed on such things

[bigjohnie]

well done mate i never thought it would live again mind and remove the spare wheel strap bracket in the well and put your old one back on to the boot floor

Excellent progress Dave!!

Like the idea of the "Scrap pile" with rotten bits removed from the car

When mine was done we had a pile that I called "The Johnston scrap pile" was tempted to send it back to him.

Looking forward to seeing the project
