    Default Last Update: 84 RS Turbo is-----DONE!!!!!

    So here it is, after a few years of work, alot of work, the car is done.
    Here is a little bit of the story

    My dad bought the car brand new, out of the show room in 84. Kept it for awhile till he got married and sold it to pay for his wedding. Well 20 somethin years later, with me here, we begin to look for another project car. He remembered how much he loved his 84 RS Turbo( which he would show me original pics of all the time)
    Anyone knowing my dad knows he is a fanatic and keeps all the paper work, so we have all the original documentation and bill of sales, and brochures for this car. So we tracked it down and next thing you know its like new again.

    Well here are a little bit of photos, when i get a chance ill scan in some original pics my dad took when he was a kid

    Looks awesome! Just gave me motivation to get working on mine. Now I just need to find the time. I know it's a bit premature, but any plans to attend Ford Carlisle 08?

    Depends. Right now the only "street legal" car in my fleet is the SVO. I'm shooting to have the RS painted before year's end, so technically it should be ready.
