Scratched my RS2

[K Simmonds]

......and how many pies they have left

.........and whether anyone will find that dead hooker by the A43

I hacked those parts off for you mate, was in kinda of a hurry and ended up doing it in the dark so put the grinder straight down the inner wing and though the chassis leg. Plus Charlie is pretty set on building an RS2 saloon to his specific spec and will most like need the engine/radiator mounts as I expect we'll be starting with a V6 given I've only ever seen one five pot B4.

I'll separate the bit's you want over the weekend.

Buy Rustynut's S2 saloon off him and convert it. Only genuine the one in the UK!!!

Wasn't that truck drivers instead of recovery drivers

These guys don't understand, just another job to them...

All they're bothered about is NOT scratching the bed of their recovery motor while dragging it on.



........and when their next break is!

[K Simmonds]

Well there's not point doing half a job I guess! Obviously we need to weld in the engine mounts and do any alterations required to the shell before getting it coated, still set on Ragusa green?

[cardcrash]

Yep, has to be done I reckon, in the name of all that is Holy. I'm talking find a shell, acid dip it, galvanize it, the works, the ultimate RS2 Saloon

[K Simmonds]

The comment about punching the guy in face nearly made me piss myself laughing, yeah I can imagine they were totally oblivious to fact is was once a £30K Super Car. I expect they grumbled about having to drag it into the back of the transporter, they don't terribly happy anyway.

No worries on helping with the strip down, don't think we missed anything.

Your still thinking about building an RS2 Saloon I take it? As I said I'll give you as much help as I can.

Big thanks to Kit who stayed out in to the dark hours salvaging every last morsel we could.

This guy has no idea what he's just loaded onto his pick-up, I could punch him...





















Bye bye my sweet love

May you rise again some day....

[saltinot]

Glad you and your love ones are ok.

I hear ya on the loom. They can be a real pain. Love the ingenuity during the strip down. Making due with what you have around.

[cardcrash]

YES!!!

[Rikki Kitto]

Amazing job fellas, is it too painful to ask about the for sale list yet

[K Simmonds]

"I'll have it stripped in a day" he said

I thought that was optimistic

Two people can easily strip a straightish one in a day, one with air tools and a two poster.

However as you know this car is bent in really odd places making it very difficult to remove some part's without damaging them. Also no cables or brake lines were cut but as I had the time and the front flexi's were new I went to trouble of undoing them instead. All done with hand tool's, air tools would have saved hours as well as lot's of energy and swearing. Altogether I spent a little over 12 hours on the car, which is in effect a bloody long day.

To be fair, Charlie also spent a lot of time cursing the wiring loom which he did a good job of removing undamaged while I tackled the mechanical stuff.
