concourse or road going rs2000

[RS2000&MEXICO]

i need some help here i have been geting parts like they are going out of fashion..(well they are)... for my mk2 rs2000 todate i have spent about £9500.00 on all new genuine ford parts this does'nt include new panels and trim and x12 cn36...

do you think i should do a concourse car or what let me know your good and bad points and whether i should do a concourse car
as iam totally undecided

please help

[RST & RSI PAUL]

I take it ,its standard then ??

And if you've got all new ford parts to go on it

Gotta "concourse" it matey - give it ago

Be worth a bit of money - when its all done

[GAZ W]

With all the money you have spent i would deffo only go concours mate

when i look at my rs 2000 (pic below) it reminds me of rocky with 2 black eyes

Well i know i am going to be the odd one out hear but i am not really a concourse sort of lad :bom: dont get me wrong i do like a tidy looking car but more than anything i like to use them for what they where built for and thats driving (whatever the weather)the reason i say this is that my mate has got a totally mint series 1 RS Turbo and he is scared to drive it incase he gets a stone chip or some dirt on it and for me they are about driving and not just looking at in your garage and i just think the more you concourse them the less you will want to drive it so there is what i think anyway.

Its gotto be

SHOW "N" THRASH

I am gonna be the RSOC registrar for Show "n" Thrash - lol lol lol

good point,,,,,,,,keep them coming :brilsmurf:

You've put it in a nutshell there Tara - well said mate!! I'm getting like that with my Mexico, and though not concours, I get really paranoid about stone chips, muck etc after all what I've spent. That's why this summer I am planning to run it for a few months as my runabout.

I would advise build a nice minty motor and keep it that way - the fun is in the upkeep and maintenance is it not as much as anything else!!?? Concours just turns ya loopey if ya ask me...

[RS2000&MEXICO]

nice one boys iam getting there

the thing about the shows and the car you just not allowed to drive it i dont think i can do that
but if i mint it up and use it i can still show it but in the mod show

what do you think ????

[lee bishop]

you have gone this far paul, you may as well finnish the job, but get a second car, after you sell all the parts you didnt need, when the job is complete. then you'll have one to drive and one to show. i couldnt have only one car and not be able to drive it.

[RS2000&MEXICO]

thats the thing with its money as well every one thinks ive got loads of dosh well ive got a bit but i have just got a new house at the cost of £350000.00
so thats where its going :colors:

[RS2000CHRIS]

I started off spending £50 & to date have spent aprox £4000 on my RS thats a lot of new & secondhand parts,hopefully will end up a very nice motor or near concourse, once i finnish putting it together over the winter.

[RS2000&MEXICO]

are you going to show it ??

[Frosticles]

Do what the good Ford intended when they built the thing. Drive it hard and sideways...........The grin factor will always outdo the "Trophy" Factor

Hi Paul,
I have spent fortunes on mine getting it concours condition, not to enter it into concours competition, but purely for my own pleasure. I have modified it also, to suit me! Cannot be arsed with all the politics that goes with concours. Do what you want to do, the value will increase anyway with all your new parts. The main thing is enjoy it!
