MK 2 RS 2000 1980

[Mark King]

Have had a notion of something old school for a while now and picked this up about a month ago.bit of head work a cam and a set of 45s, It was”restored” about 10 years ago and has done very little since it was built. Plan was to just put the stupid painted axle and suspension back to black but once I got a good look on the ramp it was clear the car was thrown together, lots of bolts missing/loose etc some clown had only put the flywheel in with 4 bolts ffs. So as the long winter nights are here gives me something a winter project

Strip down begins

Had it for ages on another car. Yea it would be a good job if Bentley had have built it right ffs

 

[FM155]

Nice job, there appears to be lots of these thrown together to get 'big money' sales out of people.
It'll be right once you are done with it though.

[Mark King]

What’s wrong with it?!

Interiors wrong and the sunroof rattles like ****. Charles hurst have only had the four goes at fixing it and still rattling ffs.

 

[Big Pimp]

Awesome Mark. Can’t wait to see how this turns out when you work your magic on it

love seeing the tin of liberate too in one of the photos being used in anger

 

[Boksic]

Class. Van looks awesome too in fairness.

Is it "just" mechanically needing a bit of fettling, or is the body going to need some TLC too?

Looks decent enough in the pics, but in the right camera lighting I don't look bald either

 

[ChrisL]

Cool to see something retro from you, looking forward to seeing your touches.

That transit and garage setup tho

 

[Robin_Hood]

WOW

Anymore pics of the garage setup, it looks immense
