I've covered the RS2000 previously, restoring one of the 'Seagull Gliding Club' versions. In that video, I covered all of the history of the model and the real Escort, so I decided to take this opportunity to describe my methods and break down the process piece by piece. Hopefully this will help to inspire you to get stuck in and try a diecast restoration or custom for yourself. This Escort had been modified by a former owner who had given it some taillights, white wheels, and a sun strip. These didn't look too bad in fairness! However, having obtained some more truly brilliant reproduction stickers from Screen Print Digital on eBay, I just had to put it back to factory spec.
