Loving your new build looks lik she will be back on the road in no time. I've been back on the hunt fir another S2 Coupe not having much luck at the moment. Can you tell me if you know of any up for sale or who to approach?
thanks G

The Avant has gone in the barn for the winter and the Coupe has moved into the workshop. First look underneath since buying and I have quite a bit to do.










So made a start dropping the oil and removing the front bumper ready to do cambelt. The oil cooler is done for as is the nissens radiator.

The underside is crusty but no serious rust so far.

The exhaust is a strange mix up.


So to begin with I’m deleting the aux rad and doing the mgb oil cooler mod. I have a spare 7a non aux hose here already. Then I will replace the radiator with a Behr one.
Front brakes will be upgraded and everything else tidied up.

When I removed the front bumper I see the original horns are still there. Only one is working though.

Love you´re threads!

[Tractor Dave]

Was going to ask.

Car looks very nice, do you have a long term plan for your fleet Dave?!

No plans to sell anything at the moment. I'm enjoying working on them. If anything goes, it will be the Ur first.

The front wings have been renewed at some time.

Agree, that early steering airbag wheel has to go.I only have a large spline steering wheel and airbag.

The early airbag steering wheel will also have to go.

I recently got the small spline one for the saloon the part number is 4A0419091BB the badge is not S2 but my eyes dont notice that now anyway

s2%20abt.jpg Green ones keep seem to pop up. Must be the most common colour in the s2. I think I broke at least 8 green coupes

Any parts left?

[Tractor Dave]

The seats were very grubby but have cleaned up quite well.

Computer has bled but dials look very good.




Headliner is sagging and door cards need doing.

Looks good, but not too sure about the car horns.

Looks very tidy under bonnet.

You can get (or could get) the lower door seals from AT. They weren't that expensive, so watch you don't get ripped off on eBay, Facebook, etc.

I checked today and there are none left
