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.
I think it's incredible you managed to obtain a front bumper in the correct colour. Well done!
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 👍
Nice one Dean, channel getting better every week! 👍
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 do love the colour really looking forward to this build dean 1 of my favourite channels on here
Always choosing the coolest and most interesting cars and rebuilds love it xxxx
Can’t wait for this build. Always wanted a Green RS, let me know if and when you’re selling it Dean 👍🏼😁
I have a Mk3 RS but the Mk2 is just iconic. Beautiful car, great colour. Can’t wait to see it fully repaired 👌👍
Really pleased that you’ve chosen a Ford for a change! - I’ll be following this one!
Oh yes! Great choice Dean, looking forward to this one. Love an RS 😊
She looks a beauty, just checked out the MOT history, not a single advisory in its lifetime. Looking forward to seeing the car finished.
Great video Dean, great car in the best colour, hope all goes well and look forward to progress! I agree with your comments about tyres too !
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 👍🏼
That belonged to my neighbour 3 doors down ,and yes he did love it ,the accident was not his fault ,head on with someone on the wrong side of the road
Honestly I'm not sure ,it might be the price of the parts
Love these, What a super colour too. Looking forward to the repairs.
What a machine can't wait to see it finished, you could always raffle it off Dean..
Love it, bit more normal than the super cars you’ve been doing recently
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 💯👍💥
Thanks bud
Bad investment I'd say
@@flippingcarsrepairs agreed it’s CAT S so will not be as much as a straight one. But it will affect the values in the same way as any other car.
The RS dates back to a time when Ford made some interesting cars! Looks like you got a well cared for example looking forward to the rebuild👍
Looking forward to this build. well done Dean.
The fact you had one of these at 19 is actually mega! Smashing it pal 💪🏻
Love that car, can’t wait to see it put back to good health. Colour is awesome
Now thats a proper car, cant wait to see how this goes!
Looking forward to this one Dean... Had my white Mk2 since it was a year old. Fabulous car.
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,,🍺🍺,
Love this!! Can’t wait for this 1
Great video and great choice of car. An appreciating classic. Hopefully there are no hidden surprises mate!
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!
I can't wait to see this finished Dean, love the colour
Fantastic Dean really looking fwd to something other than a VAG car ..... always loved that green in the rs focus...... good luck 👍🏼
I am hoping Spring brings us the TVR please .........
+1
He has said that will be a very long term project because if how expensive it will be to complete.
The TVR is not a simple fix to do it properly, he has to rebuilt all he car starting with the frame
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
To be honest, I think he’s regretting buying it touching it and it’s taking up mass amounts of garage. Space
Dean love the car and that colour. Just a heads up the loud ticking is a stuck heater blend door actuator which luckily in your case is a dash out job
Good to see one of these being repaired.
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.
Great choice for new project 👍
Nice one Dean. Keep hunting for the parts at a good price...they're out there somewhere.
Lets gooo love it when you do cars like these
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
Going to be a great series. 👍
Great video I love the colour can't wait to see this one finish 👍
Looking forward to the build, and love the colour. 👍👍👍👍
This should be fun. Looks a lovely car. Sounds like something funky with a fan for the clicking noise - had similar on a civic.
Wow nice , so far so good can't wait for pt2
Superb cars to drive deserves to be back on the road looking forward to seeing how it turns out
Oh and the slam panel is the same on all but the front bumper bars are different, I love those cars can’t wait to see this one back to its best
I own a white 2009 focus rs I absolutely love it. Looking forward to the build on this one.
Another interesting car to be saved Dean, good luck finding parts at reasonable prices.
MOT history absolutely mint. Not 1 advisory in 13 year 👌👌👌
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
Great car I hope you keep up the good work and get it back on the road👍🇬🇧
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 👌
Lovely colour, can’t wait for the next video.
East Anglian number plate Dean!!! Can't wait to see this done mate..
One of my favourite looking cars in the world. Great choice for content buddy watch those views explode..
Happy days 🥳 a car which isn't VAG 💪🏻 looking forward to this one with the TVR 🤜🏻🤛🏻
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.
Another awesome video Dean
It’s really nice Dean, the way you’re going you’ll have to do your CPC manager to manage your fleet of cars 😉😂😂😂😂
Looking forward to following this. Love a MK2 rs. Usual rs tax on parts prices are shocking 🤦🤦
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.
Going on the prices stated Dean I’d say that was Cheap ! Love the colour/car will make sweet ride look forward to next video 😉👍🏻
Good luck with the parts hunt 🙏
Love the colour, it’s gonna be a great project 👌
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 this one mate, nice one 👍
Dean, you can make an RS arch liner with 2 ST liners, they are about £35 each 👍 Plenty info online mate.
Thanks mate! I’m glad I haven’t bought many parts yet! I’ll have a look!
Think it's cut and shut of 2 liners together to make the extra width
@@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
@@rob612 or simply rivet together as ford did 😎
@@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
I absolutely love the focus RS what a great Car 👍
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
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
Awesome car Dean, would love one of these
The car of my dreams, I had just saved the money for one then got cancer, lost my job and had to use my savings to survive plz mate do you're magic on this one, I love this chanel and am so looking forward to this series, any chance of a passenger ride when it's done 😊😊
Just found the channel buzzing to go back and watch your videos now.
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.
My all time favourite car in terms of exterior looks, the nicest colour on a vehicle. Black alloys I prefer though👌
Wow nice car. Previous owner really looked after it. Up until the last few seconds anyway 😂
Far easier Dean than plastic surgery and much more exciting way to relive being 19 again 😉, love the green colour and not sure those brakes were that good 🤔 looking at the damage 😂, what price dreams 😁 PRICELESS Dean lol 😂 and shockingly so as you have found out 😉.
I absolutely love ❤ the mk2 5 cylinder ford focus
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
brilliant . well looking forward to this.
Can't wait to see it finished
Nice colour looking forward to seeing it done
Probably a good sign that it was once supplied by RS Direct at some point in its life. Noticed the rear number plate.
Wot a gorgeous car and such a great colour good luck with it
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
Excellent. Got to love a fast ford. 👍
The clicking noise is one of the motors for the heater blend flaps. 👍
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!
Orange? Just the ST in Orange mate this is the RS. Only available in white/blue/green and the RS500 in black.
@@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
@@leekemp1180 And the reason it came in the white/blue/green was a subtle nod to the BP Ultimate sponsorship of the rally cars at the time.
@@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
The ST dash fits the RS and yes you can buy a normal one and cut out the centre bit but I’d go for an st that been done at the factory
Great MOT history on that one Dean. Avg 4k a year and no advisories!
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)
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 loved my Green RS Focus. Only kept it 9 months from new as I wasn’t using it. Wish I’d kept it now😢
Something different looking g forward to this one, you better get the overtime In though by looks of it.
Lee the inner wheel arch liners are two ST liners one is cut down to make the liner 60 quid from ford
Pops & Bangs on the overrun.... Fun times coming up! #highfive 🖐🏾
Going to love this one 😮
Can’t go wrong with a Focus RS. I wish I could afford one. Great car. Exhaust looks standard to me.
Soooo cool, love that colour to😊
