57peppershaker Posted March 9, 2012 Posted March 9, 2012 Needs no introduction to UK guys, but the MK2 RS 2000 was Fords hot car in Europe in the 70's. Totally different front nosecone, spoiler & bonnet to the standard car. I've just picked up a resin body to convert the Esci / Revell MK2 Escort from this to this. Probably build it as a street car, but they were also used in rally, racing, as Police cars ect. What do you guys think would best suit it ? Post more pics once it arrives in the post.
85gt4bbl302 Posted March 9, 2012 Posted March 9, 2012 i've always been a rallye fan * thumbs up* but it looks darn good as a street car too! i'd say drop an ol school 289 h po v-8 in it and call it a euro sleeper!
Roncla Posted March 12, 2012 Posted March 12, 2012 I'd go street or rally. I had a 1600 Sport back in the day but the RS2000 was never made available out here. It would have been something special.
PBII Posted March 12, 2012 Posted March 12, 2012 I could remember taking a test drive with my brother years ago 2.0L motor very very lively - nice classic - can't wait to see the finished product - I'm a big rally fan too but i think that white street car is the way to go that nose just sets it apart
57peppershaker Posted May 9, 2012 Author Posted May 9, 2012 (edited) Not been on here for a bit, but heres a few quick pics of the resin kit. (I'll try & retake the pics) It has the RS hood, rear bumper, RS 4 spoke wheels & R/H dash ect. Also in the pic is the Revell kit as a doner. I found seats that are very similar to the Recaro's that the road cars came with. Unfortunatly, I doupt if I'll have the time / patience / skill to make this model, as it does need some work. So I'll be moving it on / trading it. Edited May 9, 2012 by 57peppershaker
Boreham Posted May 9, 2012 Posted May 9, 2012 personally I'd do a standard road car in. Signal Green 77 there's a company in Germany that do an excellent RS 4 spoke.(seperate wheel and tyre) that'll PM you details of. Nice project. Goodluck
oter11 Posted May 12, 2012 Posted May 12, 2012 i did buy this resin transkit for about a year ago,i have never seen a resin transkit/parts have so bad quality as this one,it look like a child have made the parts,its easyer to make the parts from scratch then fix the resin parts,i did sell it,i didnt want to use my time on this transkit
