Looks like it needs a bit of TLC on the bodywork, the drivers side boulster is a real common one - but looking like a good car!

I'll enjoy watching this thread

looks like an ariel thats been bodged onto the roof at some point, and the rust around the screen looks "nice" that looks like a cut out the bad and weld in a new section!

good luck though with the restoration..

[fish]

who in gods name put´s an aerial on the front part of the roof on an S2? Don´t meen to punch holes through your new found joy as it look´s nice apart from the rough patches mate. Never seen an S2 wit that kind of rust though, especially around the rear side window, that most have had a glass out respray at one time and had some bad prepwork.

[Jamo]

Glass has been out of that car I reckon, going to need a bit of TLC that!

yeah that tape is covering a hole where there was a hands free aerial I will be getting the screen removed to have the rust sorted and the hole repaired. As for the rear quarter I think whoever said it had been painted before was quite right!! It will be done properly this time though. I have sourced a new front bumper thats fairly local. Should be picking that up today

Where abouts are you based mate?

Just been through all the receipts that came with the car.... I'm amazed how much has been spent on this car!!

Full gearbox rebuild, new clutch and flywheel 08-07 (20k ago) at cost of nearly £1000. It has had the cambelt changed 3 times the most recent time was 40k ago when it had a new head gasket and head bolts. Within the last year (2k miles) its had 4 new discs and pads, brake boost accumulator, 2 lower ball joints and CV boots, rear exhaust silencer and 4 new tyres.

Oh and I found an invoice for removing the old alarm and immobiliser system for £70!! All they did was cut the wires to the alarm box

[fish]

I went throug all the invoices for my car aswell... its only had 22400£ thrown at it over the years=) it has also had the cambelt changed 3 times and is also a black 94 coupé. Are they twins do you think??

Nice, I've had mine 8 years now and wouldn't dream of getting rid. These cars deserve to be looked after hope you enjoy it and keep it.

paul looks like ur def geting carried away with it but itl be a real nice car once ur finished with it

[Acidburn]

Got a mint replacement front bumper (second hand but genuine) for £180. Went around some body shops on saturday morning getting quotes done, so all the body work issues should be sorted soon too.

Looking better already mate since I saw it, get the bumper on and that will help, with the engine bay, use some brasso (the s2driveruk mod/cheat) as it brings up the abs pipes etc like new.

Keep us updated mate, be a good one.

One thing to have a think about is what route you want to take, i.e. more power or a nice tidy car with all the options/toys and see what you want and set some goals.
