  • My 96 ABY S2

    Afternoon folks.. Just thought I'd begin a thread on the forum to record the progress of my S2. Some will recognise the car as it's previously been owned by three forum members. I bought the S2 from Alex in July 2020 after stumbling across his for sale post while away working. A few messages and phone calls later and the deal was struck. 5hrs travel time and I picked up the S2.

    Usual S2 spec including the additional items during build time.
    • Full late spec heated leather
    • AC and opening rear 1/4 windows
    • Glass sunroof

    With the country in lockdown I think I've done approximately 170ish miles in total. Took it to one local car show where it brought lots of attention, for one being the only Pre 2000 Audi there, and two, being and Coupe S2.

    During lockdown I've been able to source lots of restoration parts from our good old mate Pete Reeve, and Audi Tradition. So the following list of items are ready to be fitted.

    Body Structure
    1. Wing, door and rear quarter lower side mouldings
    2. Amber indicator lenses (love them with dark coloured paint)
    3. Audi Emblem (wings)
    4. Front and rear door seals
    5. Genuine front wings
    Mechanical
    1. 4x wheel bearings
    2. MFTS - already fitted (eliminated temp warning light)
    3. 4x top mounts
    4. 2x front bottom ball joints (cast wishbones)
    5. 2x rear bottom ball joints
    6. Drop links
    7. Whiteline RARB
    The plan is to use the car over summer and probably winter time take it off the road for an underside and mechanical refresh fitting the above parts. Also waiting in the wings is a good second hand glass sunroof. Supplied by Andy P (cheers mate) usual issue with the glass roof rusted framework.

    Wheels wise it currently wears A8 Sports, not really a fan. So I've also bought a of S8's and some Avantguardes. It needs the suspension refresh completing before I fit these and decide which to keep.

    Thats its for now.. I'll try and keep the forum up to speed with the S2's progress..

    Cheers Stuart

      Looking good Stu!

      I actually like the wheels.

      Hopefully there may be some more events this coming summer, fingers crossed.

      Do you still have your B2?

          Cheers Jason. Sometimes I look and think the wheels suit it, then I change my mind..

          Yes The B2 is almost ready for paint. The dry build is complete.

                You certainly like a project Stuart.
                Glad to hear the 90 is getting there. What are your plans for it - as before?
                Any pics of progress ?

                  I can’t resist a proper Audi or two Jogi.. I can't seem to add a picture of the 90. Keeps knocking the attachment back.

                    Resize it and save it, then upload again, normally fixes it for me.
