Ok chaps finally got my camera back unbelievable amount of photos taken by my garage!! A real step by step approach! Right front and rear subframes now on with new bushes all round standard Audi bushes so pleased I didn't go with polybush or supaflex as the ride is a million percent more solid car also got a new rear differential mounting new rear tie rod and all new bushes a few more photos attached:

Its good you have a garage that are actually interested.

[anthonys2]

Defo ready!!! The whole car feels so different and so much better on the road just a shame the roads are in such **** condition but looking forward to the Scotland run

Well After another lengthly spell in the garage after it having annoying starting issue its been finally resolved. The ignition switch behind the barrel needed replacing going like a dream also the lambar sensor replaced to noticed before it went in I have a bulge on the front passenger tyre sidewall so treat her to a new pair of dunlops superb tyres got a hell of a deal from National Tyres they were £145 a tyre got them for £92 each as they offered huge discounts if you are a member of the AA so touch wood my S2 is going fine again! Has to stay fit now for the year then if it does it will be rewarded with some nice new Porsche breaks next year lol!!!!

Been a while since I put anything on this thread but I am starting to get a few quotes for the paint job and got a very good one from specialist at Bebside near Blyth Ive known the guy for a while and hes absolutely mad but he loves what he does had a Jag E Type there should have taken a photo of my S2 sitting next to the E Type, Am looking to get all 4 corners done sills re painted but theres a huge waiting time as he only looks after high end and rare cars and he looked at the S2 and said theres **** all wrong with your lovely Coupe just the usual areas which he will gladly sort. Looking to get the wheels refurbed when the car is in. So a little update and of course before and after photos will be sorted
