[Drummer87]

Well I thought its been six months since I owned my S2, thought I post up some pictures from when I got it. Then start a project thread to where I'm at now.

So her she is

I did have better pictures for the before and after transition but I lost them

Picked her up from a forum member local to me brm180

thanks to my cousin madpugger he's got me hooked to these cars, when moving up north didn't know what an s2 was, now got the bug!! Dam you mike.

Colour is Ming blue pearl which I just love under different lights really makes the car pop. Came loaded with nice features, Full leather interior, black headlining, pop out rear windows, air con, beautiful wood trim inside the car felt brand new.

The body work on the other hand has needed a lot of love. Both front wings were rusted, rear quarter also rusted around the arch. The rear had a shunt under the number plate reflector and also the rear bumper had taken a knock.

Not to be dishearten I set out to gather all the parts needed to bring her back to the glory days.

The whole car was totally stock, minus the aux radiator being removed. A nice clean example with the engine and running gear smooth and quiet

So I will start on my project page to have a hub for all the progress as it happens.

Looks a good starting block, my ideal S2 really- loaded with spec, dark in colour and last of the line. Id bite your hand off if you were ever to sell. Whats the mileage?

[Drummer87]

Thanks Ross, mileage is only around 113k. I do like dark colours, had a indigo blue urs4 that was slightly brighter.

But yeah it's a good starting block to work from the ground up

[rynaqui]

You didn't mention what year manufactured

Btw ABY right?

[Drummer87]

Lol it's an ABY the reg gives that one away

[rynaqui]

Rims actually though guessing from my old car REG, all ABYs were N Reg?

We have a basic 3 letter 3 number car license plate registry

[Drummer87]

No no N reg is to show it's a 1995, it has the standard 16" Avus rims. Think tonight will start my project thread

[rynaqui]

Mine was probably manufactured 95 too then, but that was the final year of manufacture though right?

First date of registry on mine was 24 january 96

[Drummer87]

I decoded my vin and it came up as a 96 made car but registered in 95 so yeah near enough end of line

The last run of S2 coupes, code 8B3039, were "T" VIN'd = 1996 model year, built from 05/95 to 12/95.

I am going to send you a Private Message in a moment so check.
