My Never Ending Story

Ford made a proper rs spoiler for the mk3 that fits correct. I have one on my car so may sell it at some point in the future as I want a sierra Rouse 302R one when i find one at a decent price.

 

Feel for you with the turbo they can be right bastard to fit with poor access to the mostly seized nuts. Usually put a cut in them with a hacksaw then they break apart with a hammer and chisel

I have just read back through a number of pages of the thread and the car is coming along great. The only downside for me, is the more that you do, the more that I know I will probably have to do to mine when I start restoring it after Christmas :blink: . My knuckles are starting to ache with the loss of skin already :ohmy: !!!!

 

The gauges look great and the engine is sweet. I am still chewing over whether to go down the RST or RS2000 route. Not sure, as I do not know the pros and cons of the RS2000, whereas I put an RST in a Escort van back in the day and it went like the clappers!!! It looked like a builder's van as it had differnet colour parts, but was lowered 5 inches at the back on the leaf springs. Made for an interesting experience :banana_dance: . . . .
