To restore or not to restore.......

[audinut]

I have no intentions of parting it out

[Christophski]

Ok we'll even my wife is saying its not that bad , maybe I'm over critical as my last one was very tidy with loadsa history, I told her that there will be many late nights and long weekends!

So now I just have to convince my boss that there is space in the yard for an s2 !

One question with these kinda things .... Where the hell do you start ?

Tax it, MOT it, insure it & then park it up in Arundel

[bluequattro]

Fix it and leave the body scruffy, take any s badges off and stick black steel wheels on
Make it a ratty sleeper, they re more fun
I did similar with my v8 crapi, right down to 1.6 badges, surprised lots of fast cars!

[audinut]

Sounds good , well all i gotta do is convince my boss thats its a good idea so that i can take her apart in the yard at work - build thread coming soon

I would restore it all the way

Hey there-you just haven't had it for some time-you know,to have built up a 'relationship'!
If I hadn't had my 3b for 3 yrs (last week!)and done 27,000mls with her then I might have sold on for someone else to make good-cos it's been a non-runner for 6mths(and yeah,bodywork's actually what's put me off most..)but just started buying lotsa shiny new bits at last...
however..looks like the Team here will pull out the necessary stops to help you along! good luck
mmm now wonder what can I ask for??!

Leave it rough, restore the suspension and brakes, fit some nice wheels then spank a 3076 on there. Rat look+ done

Are we talking about the red Avant from eBay this weekend?

[HORCH]

get some pictures up, I'd fix it up, the worst bit for me would be the rust around the windscreen, is it really bad? still, it can be repaired no problem

yes mate

Everyone feels like that at times. I have felt like quitting many a project. If it were me id get it stripped down then fresh paint. Then start the build. Just had lots of paint done on my coupe and when it was back together and id sworn at it a few times and had to walk a couple of times i was over the moon
