Yes, can i welcome you to 1979 engineering thankyouplease, think about it, thats thirty years old that there beasty:eek:

MK999
25-07-09, 07:03 PM
It is indeed, but eeeven so! I did a quick google on 1979 cars (1979 <manufacturer>) and the RS is still sporting some tiny wheels for it's age even. And yes I was looking for 'original' photos, avoiding the obvious recent modified ones lol

Still a gorgeous looking car, it just struck me that the wheels looked almost VW-euro esque :d

Mike
26-07-09, 04:27 PM
Cant help coming back this thread just nosey :D love old Fords with a passion, equally as much as the new ones!

Stilll swayed by the now cheaply priced Focus RS's tho Chris as per our conversation when i popped round.

Look at that fcking Escort, how sexual is that, saw a MK1 Mexico rolling down the M27 the other day and nearly wet myself. Not a fan of the Focus Rs, sorry to say but i think its chav.

Thats just his opinion, he did say ' i think its...'

I'm not a major fan of the FRS but I think its a bit of marmite car...

However words cannot describe the awesomeness of that rs2k, coming from a vaux man

Ive seen more 2 door loon shuvits than 4 doors, the guys a tard!

Loving the pics mate, not a fan of new fords at all but there is something about the new FRS...

Escort i stunning! Need there be more said

MK999
26-07-09, 09:08 PM
Guessing because a Chevette 2 door would have a longer door, whereas the saloon has a shorter door in order to fit 2 down the side. Would just look odd though imo

Are they the X-pack wheels?? The standard car had 5.5j's IIRC??

The Focus and the RS2000 are both stunning motaz as been said already I saw one of those Focus' drive past mine the other day and it didn't really apeal to me that much although i did think it looked cool, but tonight I saw one drive past mine in the green like yours and I changed my mind totally about them they are awsome :thumb:

26-07-09, 10:42 PM
the rs2k has the right wheels but the tyres are way too small. hence why its a bit odd. makes me moist tho, id wanna fit the focus rs lump into it.....

27-07-09, 03:12 AM

they do but not the same shape as a 4 door so as the rear doors are welded up its a 1 off shape 3 door saloon lol

12-08-09, 11:47 PM
Both stunning cars

Very envious!

Equally as cool at the minute IMO until the mk2Focus becomes the norm

The RS brand is superb only a hand full of them that flopped TBH

I used to have a series1 and loved it to bits
