Hello everyone from build number 2358

[Matthew_1986]

Evening All

After being a member and lurking around on here for some time and after viewing 6 previous examples, I have settled on car number 7 which is build number 2358. I collected it five days ago and it is now tucked up in the garage after a quick wash.
I would like to thank Clayton for his help and knowledge and for answering all my questions!
2358 has done 50k and is lightly modifed with H&R springs, st170 headlights and a couple of samco hoses in the bay.
I have ordered a new ford tailgate badge for it and some door weather strips as well as just receiving some seat covers from Clayton.
I am looking forward to putting a few miles on it over the summer. I would like to return the car back to completely stock at some stage. I am very happy with it and think they have aged so well.
Thanks all 👍

Pleased to help you Matthew with your search for your Mk1 Focus RS. Hope you will be joining us at the 20 Year Anniversary Meet.

Welcome aboard, a fine choice of motor vehicle might I add!
Is it your first RS or are you a serial offender?
Bang some pics up when you can.

I also own a Sierra Cosworth which I have had for 10 years and currently finishing off a MK2 Escort project that I purchased during the first lockdown.

Interested in pics of both, deffo the mk2 escort 💙💙
Got one myself and deffo loads of other people here are well into their fords and interested in more than just a mk1 focus 👍👍

Took a photo of the car at its first local show last weekend.

Looks tidy, fair play, you must be chuffed, each time I see them on standard wheels I'm tempted to swap back.
Which Cossie do you have? 3 door or Sapphire?
I had two Saphs myself and really miss them, but once mapped had nothing but problems sadly, props, CV boots blah blah, would still have another tho tbf.

[Matthew_1986]

its a late K plate 4X4 Saph. I did look at a 3 door before I bought the Saph but it was 15 grand at the time and I couldn't justify it. Wish I could go back in time now!

[S1 RST]

Don’t we all wanna go back in time for stuff like this.
Sold my mk2RS2000 way back 2007 to buy the focus 😱😱

[Matthew_1986]

Here is a couple of the Saph

[S1 RST]

Them grey comps suit the magenta cos big time 👍👍

[Matthew_1986]

Here are a couple of the MK2 Escort. I've still got a few bits to do such as fit all the interior and I may have to raise the rear suspension up half an inch or so. I was planning on getting it finished for this summer, however due to the purchase of the Focus I have been enjoying that for the time being.

[S1 RST]

Very tidy that 👍
