RS2000 over winter TLC.. and a bit of a yarn

[Frosticles]

Nothing wrong with steels.

Yeah and you can keep your firewood interior and shiny gutters, all just adds weight


Did you ever find out the correct colour for your 4 spokes Kev?




.

Kind of. Know someone who can do the correct shade but he's not giving the code away at the mo

Seems a bit moody, I can never understand people like that

[Hoonabator]

Kev I've found these references hope they help


XSC No: 1491A
Colour: Dove Grey
Akzo Code: FRD7176

Or a powder coat ref

RAL 694

No idea how correct these are but it may lead you in the right direction.

Really wasn't happy with the way she was sitting so swapped the springs this morning.

Only an inch but much happier now







Interior fettle tomorrow..... If it ever stops raining

[Lee R]

Does sit better IMO

[bigbadsquare]

Very very nice !!!!

[procky]

Looks well on them steels mate.

[Frosticles]

I see my Springs are put to good use.

[Hoonabator]

Yeah Kevin the springs are great. Soooo much happier with the way she's sitting now.

Today I have been mostly ****ing about with the interior. I've never done anything with it so its been 27 years since anyone has really cleaned it up

Sorry about the poor iPhone pictures :-(


Anyway....





They're only original once, love these little details





Faded a bit now but lovely for it...





MOT Friday and then I'll get the camera out and take some proper pics.

[Frosticles]

Love to see unrestored cars. You should be very happy Stuart as it is a lovely rare car now. Just keep it that way

[vinny]

lovely, always prefer them without the wood

[Leckypete]

Great read, you are very lucky your wife took the phone, sure you would have regretted not taking the unique opertunity to own such a nice original RS!

It's looking excellent, enjoy!

[Hoonabator]

Cheers guys and yes Peter it was lucky. I think I'd have followed it up the call anyway but it made it very easy having her on my side.


FAILED it's MOT today

Only a shot bush in the steering rack......

Time for a quick rack


Anyone recommended a rack, preferably outright buy rather than exchange.

[Hoonabator]

Just picked her about after leaving her with the guys at Tipton garage for a few days.

FAN-F'ING-TASTIC!!

Mot'd now and they've tweaked and fettled her a bit. Driving better than she's ever done since I've owned her.

Absolutely chuffed to bits, wish I was off to the lakes this weekend
