It's new car day and this one will be an interesting one! Years after selling my Focus RS MK2 its time to get back into one from a different perspective! Its wrecked! Restoration time... Instagram: saving_salavvge
That's a Milltek exhaust, Airtec intercooler, K sport brakes and looks lowered and has an Autospecialists plenum. Decent tyres, clean MOT history so I reckon it's been enthusiast owned until the accident. I reckon about 400bhp. RS had a lot of bespoke parts compared to the rest of the Focus range (suspension, wings, bumpers, brakes) so anything not basic Focus is gonna be £££. Hope you can restore it to its former glory.
The guys on Evil GT are finding all about the 'RS Tax' too 😮 Good luck with this one Dean. Looking at the price that these are fetching at the moment, I doubt you'll be out of pocket.
I'm so happy you've got this one dean. And I only bloody called it a few videos back. I had a feeling an RS was coming, so I was even happier with that 😊 fingers crossed that it doesn't cost a bomb to complete. Bring on the next video 👍
I am loving your vids mate your channel is starting to grow fast. It’s good to have another uk car man. Keep doing what you are doing and I wish you success like Mat Armstrong
I know the original comment doesn’t indicate this, but seeing people getting pissy over easier cheaper projects being prioritised over a project that needs a full frame rebuild that the dude doesn’t even have in his garage because he’s sent the frame away to be rebuilt is hilarious. If you’re dying to see a TVR rebuilt look for a completed project or do it yourself
It's not a bad one bro. This car is a classic and only going up in value. Absolute investment if you ask me. Look forward to the repair and enjoying all of your contact 💯👍💥
thankyou Dean this certainly looks to be a challenge,but great content for us,,,looking forward to seeing you get stuck into this one, 👍,,and fair play to the commenters for their offer of parts and tips,,🍺🍺,
Nice change from the usual expensive VAG stuff you usually do, although I think that you may have too many cars unfinished at the moment. My guess is that the RS is at a stage 2 state of tune, will be interesting to find out and of course see the whole thing rebuilt and test driven within an inch of it's life!
Oh I so love these cars. When I had my MK2 RS 2000s, it was the same deal, it was like rs value added tax at the Ford dealer when getting parts. The wings are unique to the rs, and so the inner arch. You have me wanting one even more now. Fab cars.
You have yourself a new subscriber and loving the focus plus I'm a Ford guy as these were the ones who started the cars that were cool to own even owning one of the old fords are still super cool to this day so I can't wait to see the finished focus and good luck my friend
@@SavingSalvage Christiano is right Dean you just plastic weld them together using a temp controlled soldiering iron you can get a cheap one off Am(zon) and use it at the lowest heat at (170) degrees and start welding aka gluing them together from the back and them blend the weld at the face of the liner that you see in the wheel arch i do similar for welding my 3d printed parts together for a seamless join
@@christiancanavan3102 yes agreed but it also give Dean a told to fix plastic parts as new rather buying new parts and to keep his costs down on other builds as well
Not a big Ford fan to be honest, but I can appreciate the Rs as it really stands out from the crowd. And you a 100% that was definitely someone’s pride and joy 👍🏼
Never really been a ford person im vauxhall and Mercedes but I'll admit I do love the st and rs lovely rip to them and they go like stink ! looking forward to watching the build
The green plenum is an upgrade to the standard plastic unit, just check the T pipe off to the resonator so that the diaphragm isn't split losing boost if it already hasn't been capped off or replaced with a dump valve.
The green uprated plenum chamber that is plastic as as standard and breaks if running too much boost so its been uprated and the give away is the airtec intercooler so it's probably running 400bhp
It's shocking i paid over 500pounds just for the front lower grill in black from Ford dealer about 4 years ago mine was starting to rust. Still have the rs in green not a cheap car but loads of fun. Good luck with the build 👌
Love the car not sure of the colour shrek comes To mind when I look at it but it looks like a well cared for example looking forward to see how it progresses
My favourite colour Focus RS❤❤ The K Sport brakes could even be 8 pot, the same as on my Audi TT QS. I reckon it's at least stage one tuned. Looking forward to this one.
I feel stage 2 it has KSport brakes with floating discs and just those alone are around £1500 Stage 2 intercooler and the inlet is Airtec aftermarket. . The exhaust is aftermarket as well so its pointing to a stage 2 upwards
Great content as always, the Mrs has a ford turneo custom for child care, the boot door trim has broken, went to ford for a replacement part the bloke in there checked the price 3 times and rang some colleagues because he thought it was wrong, but no they want £700 for the part not fitted.
Looks like a section 59 exhaust and that’s and AS plenum. Id guess it’s a stage 1 tune with an uprated intake and intercooler and exhaust. My grey st is stage 3 running 340 lovely cars good choice
Nice good luck with repairing this beauty! Best colour to personally Ultimate Green! Modifications looks like you've got a few modifications on the car. Airtec Stage 1 or Stage 2 Intercooler Airtec Motorsport Inlet Plenum Roose Motorsport Induction Hoses Exhausts looks to be a Mongoose Section 59 K-Sport 6 Pot Big Brakes Red 5 Carbon Fibre Kick Plates Good luck! If you need anything give us a shout!
Looking forward to seeing this get repaired. Always loved this colour and the orange this came in too. Great little 5 cylinder monster & slightly more attainable (for most) than some other cars you’ve done, best of all it’s a proper manual with a 3rd pedal. Crack on!
@@leekemp1180 to use rs 500 on focus's was a disgrace it looked like a van with rear tints and satin paint never raced rallied sold before release to collectors cheap pr stunt REAL RS500 WERE REAL MACHINES COSWORTH RS500 REAL RS THIS POSER CAR SHOULDVE BEEN 4X4 FROM MK1RS FOCUS MK3 HORRID 5 DR FFS
@@brian3174 the RS 5dr minibus lol im with you tbh, oldschool RS fanboy, had few RSs back in the day, escort cossie or rs500 was the dream,then it all went to shit with the focus although i do quite like the mk1 focus RS, the rest are an abomination
( new to the channel ) you present really well Ultimate green was my least favourite Mk2 Rs colour , until I seen one in the flesh few years ago, now it’s my favourite ! …really enjoyed that video, look forward to the build 👍
i had a 2009 Focus Zetec S 1.8 TDCI briefly. loved it but it had many issues. i bought a bit of a lemon. i wish I'd had the money to go through everything and make it 100% but i was moving from my first car to 2nd needing it to just work. did a few things like split boost pipe and other little things but then found bigger things like a brake issue (possibly vacuum pump) and i had to scrap it and move on. I do like Fords when they are good but i think they are costing too much in general, the RS has been on my dream car list for a while...
I have a white one with the all important upgraded black Dynamica seats. The standard seats in this one spoil it. The exhaust is a Miltek the quieter option I took mine off and replaced it with a Mongoose cat back
I suspect this car has:- Jamsport 400 remap, Milltek exhaust (with 200 cell sport cat), H&R lowering springs, Airtec stage 1 intercooler, 650cc injectors, Auto Specialist intake plenum, K SPort 356mm discs with Pagid pads.
Nice one Dean right time to get a rs focus prices are on the up it seems that anything that is ford and has a rs badge is expensive and has rs tax added to it too looking forward to the content as I love a ford it is right up my street
So happy it's not a bloody Volkswagen!!! Great to see a street car on the channel , bp green is lovely, and I hope you keep it. Only teasing bout the VWs they are your specialised subject, and I suppose the BMW isn't a people's car ! Looking forward to the next one. Ben (Ford through and through)
