My new FRST

Postby pjsprojects on Thu Mar 03, 2005 12:05 am

This is the car now before i take it for a full respray in a couple of months.

Image

The wheels have got to go! i want mk6 Escort RS2k ones

Image

The best seats Ford have ever made imo.

Image

This is the start of some repairs and mods i got to sort. The dash has seven holes in it from past alarm systems so i thought i take the opertunity to swap it over for a black one with matching trims. So cheers to Neil for the parts :thumbsup:

If you use the black dash, then your door cards aren't gonna match as they are grey? which might make it look odd!

Yeah that is what I am using!

I know that the material doesn't totally match but it very hard to notice if your not looking for it!

Spanish import?

It's rhd though - the VIN plate on my FRST is Valencia too, the FRST were made both in Spain and Germany, unless you have documentation to show it was imported from out of there?

The number plate looks very similar too - I wonder if that's from the Ipswich area originally (BEG and DEG plates).

Nice car though - what have you got planned for it?

Cheers,

Andy

Ok did'nt know that i thought all RS's were WFO chassis numbers so i guess it's not a import then :-? and i don't know where it came from yet as i have no history :( but i am going to ask DVLA about past owners.

My plans are to fit the later mirros and get some 15" RS2k mk6 wheels as i hate the Fox alloys that the car has on it. Also a 60mm drop instead of the 35mm it has now.

My Turbo's definitely an original and was made in Spain, I know of other Spanish FRSTs as well as a few German ones (I think they're rarer).

It was always said the German ones had better rust protection but I think that may just be urban myth.

Keep us updated with your mods and history finding :D

Andy
