front wings are ok, sills and floors are ok, boot is good as are recesses where spare wheel and toolkit sit.

Looks tidy enough, what is it like tin worm wise? Dehandle it and setup some solenoids linked to remote central locking.

RV8 much lighter, and can go out close to 5 litre anyway.
whoa! I was going to buy that but then I discovered it was situated somewhere around london I think, a long time ago! I have that very same pic! Its 1.3 isn't it or something I can't exactly remember?
Take some more piccies :)
Talking of which. What happened to the Golf?
I posted some pics in another thread with the stripped interior up on the jack stands, its been so long since I used to the urcm gallery that I forgot the username and although I emailed him... ronny doesn't seem to bothered ;)
I'll go and upload what I have now in a new gallery.
I have a full set of glass for a MK2 (free) if you need any... Lots of engine bits too, but they'll cost you :)
Ah, you're talking modifying the engine too? Think what you could do with the 5 litre bwahahaha. Only thinking of the 5.0 to keep it all Ford, plus I saw a mk1 Escort track car withone in and it was niiice.
They did a RS2000 flat front I believe.
Twin 40 DCOE's? Getting rarer now, so maybe consider DHLA Dellortos instead. Wilky runs bigger DHLA's on the race car and they're fine, and I had a set on my CVH years back; also fine.
Tharr yee go:

Is this what you meant as a link kit?

So that gives Cam's, Carbs, Front Sus, Strutbrace, Link Kit, Rear Struts, Strip Out and Exhaust as mods to plan for so far. Sound Ok?
Engine swap. SR20DET from a 200SX would be a good start.

Not as a production car they didn't.[1]
However, there were lots of genuine RS2000s converted to flat front over the years. I did a couple, even though I like the noseconed ones.
[1] Unless you're Australian, in which case ISTR they did a 4 dr 2.0 Mk2 as well.
Yep. But it wasn't an RS2000.
