However, it's pleasantly surprising to see this. This is how cars used to have modifications done more commonly back in the day.
For some reason this also reminds me of a car a neighbour had. He wanted my dad's MkIV XR3i, but insurance was the issue. The chap did however have a tired Orion 1.6i Ghia.
He eventually would get a red MkIII which had an XR3i bodykit on it, but a Series 1 RS Turbo interior as well as an RS Turbo engine.
He loved that car, but it eventually got hit as unsurprisingly, it was a bit of a jump in power from an Orion!
I do at times however miss my RS Turbo. That said, at that particular time in life, it wasn't quite the right car for me, so I can't moan too much
. The noise is what I won't forget. Every journey was an event however, sometimes not quite the right event!
Hey!
Your reply really did make me smile. The idea I had when I got this car was to make it look like the cars that used to buzz about in Leyland back when I first passed my test. Ones that spring to mind from back then were a light blue mk2 fiesta popular plus with full XR2 body kit. Countless Nova SR and GSI replicas. I think it is missing from today's modified car world.
Your RST was a thread that I followed and enjoyed reading. It was a brilliant car of course!
Looks really good with the RS wheels and the lowering! And it sure did clean up nice.
