The Matchbox Ford Escort RS2000 Restoration

I acquired one from a trade, and made a street version out of it...

heres the original state of the car when i got it...



it was in bad shape, but not the worst like some other cars that I acquired which needs fabrication.
Just a nice paintjob and some realistic wheels and rubber tires will do the job!

and here it is...






I luckily found another casting which needs restoration too
if I've got enough time, I'm planning to make a tarmac version with flarings.

  1. This is beautiful! I have two of these no. 9 Escorts, thankfully both in quite good condition still. What you have done with yours is marvellous—it looks far more realistic. The original Lesney wheels were probably too small for the body.
