Burton's RS2000 restoration

[2quick4u]

I have started work on a light restoration project for Andy Burton, of www.burtonpower.com. (http://www.burtonpower.com.)
A nice car this one, and an ex modified concours winner RS National Day I believe).
The car is fitted with many of the x-pack accessories, but not the bodykit.
For those of you familiar with the Burton catalogue, the engine from this car is the one photographed in the SOHC (Pinto) section, wearing a pair of 44-IDF's.

Haven't got time to upload the pics here yet, will do later, but here is a link to a web album of the work so far.
