Newbie saying hi

Postby Hsbc123-0 on Mon Sep 08, 2014 12:25 pm

Hi everyone. My name is Paul and I've recently just bought a j reg fiesta rs turbo in red for the missus to take to shows. I've been in the rsoc for 5 years with my escort rs cosworth but have always fancied a fiesta rs aswell so thought I'd "treat the good lady" and get another toy for me! :lol:

I picked the car up from wales, the bodywork is sound but the are a few issues with the car, so no doubt I'll be trying to tap any knowledge you guys may have to help me out. :D

There was a box in the boot with loads of odds and ends including all the green bumper strips so all in all I'm very happy with the car.

Haven't had time for a proper detailing session yet so I haven't taken any pictures yet. The only ones I have are too large to upload.

Hello again. No doubt I'll be posting again soon, hoping you'll be able to help get the car back to 100%! :wink:

Thanks for the welcome guys. All the photos I have on my phone are too large so I will take some others and alter the size ASAP. :D

Hi guys. Thought this would be the easiest way to get some photos up of the new car. Only ones I have at the mo as the turbo and manifold have been removed in preparation for new radiator etc. after I've had a good buffty session, I'll show it off in all it's glory! :Q

Oh the shame...!

I'll put a separate thread up later, if anyone's interested in seeing the true love of my life. My 510bhp Escort RS Cosworth. :D :Q :devil:

rsturbonutter :Hi welcome to the site i went and had a look at this car i think was it from Pontypridd?


Yeah, that's the one. Please don't say you walked away cos it was a money pit! :lol:

Unfortunately it was raining when I turned up but it was definitely better than the last two I went to view and they wanted £1500 more! Car is by no means perfect, not much history and a bit rough around the edges, but I wasn't looking for a concourse car, just a cheap runaround to chuck all the camping stuff in when we go to the shows. :D

I went to view for someone else mate it looked half decent but for what my friend wanted i told him to keep looking. As regards to being a money pit aren't they all lol.
