Panther Metallic it is. Although I was tempted to go for a colour change while the engine bay was clear, but I like the original colour too much.
Most people seem to think my car is green.
Not much progress recently I'm afraid, as I've been working abroad on the other side of The Channel for 6 weeks, and weekend time for the S2 was limited. A little annoying with the light nights and recent good weather. But I have to earn money for this project somehow.
After helping Bo put his engine together I couldn't remember putting the crank upper thrust washers in my engine. So I took the engine back out last weekend to check.
They were there of course. But I had to 100% sure. That's the trouble with building the thing with a few spare hours here and there.
At least I'm getting the hang of lifting the engine in and out by hand, and I'm getting used to the weight of it. I think my clutch centering tool must have been pretty good as the engine slots home nicely.
I'm hoping to get some more workshop time next week to get the head assembled, but don't hold your breath.
