My 3B Coupé Project.

Might have a loom from a 200 you could have for parts?

Thanks Newsh. PM on it's way.

Here's the paint I used David.



It was pretty awkward to get the paint in and around everywhere neatly, so it’s not the best paint job I’ve ever done. I had to remind myself it is only the engine bay and you won’t see much of it when everything goes back in.

Missed that Stu, cheers - I'll be on to Paints4U soon as I have a few areas to treat on mine.

[volcano rs]

why don't you use aby loom ?now that everything is out of the way you won't get a better chance .

[4WheelDrifter]

It's fitted to all sorts of things between '89 and '97. Check the EL catalogue on the FA Page 972-95.

so which cars does the 55 pin appear on?i may have one tucked away

[4WheelDrifter]

Stu,are you leaving the 3b loom in then and doing the pin swap on the ecu connector so you can use that s6 ecu,like you were talking about at coombe?

Yep. That's the plan.
I considered it from the start, then decided I would go that route after Tom had the nightmare with the ABY loom swap, and I know Tommy Arnberg has had success doing the conversion this way. I just need another 55-pin ECU plug, if anyone has an old engine loom that's no use. Sal?

At least I have a spare ECU if it all goes wrong.

A Servotronic steering rack seal kit.
Now all I have to do is work out where all these parts go.

Wow!
That's impressive work Stu, makes the removal of all those hundreds of components completely worthwhile.

The past few months have been pretty good for the revival of S2's in the UK.

[Jamo]

So whats making you change from koni's to billsteins?

Just put koni's on the front of mine so not too bad at present, gotta get the rear soon.

Because the cars handling is totally different with bilsteins in comparison

There are multiple specific threads if you wish to continue this discussion, Hpmuirt has 2 such threads.

Nice! Keep it up, you may have the car back on the road before 2010

[s2_bo]

When are you planning on putting bits back in then??

Before Christmas i hope..




P.s. i hope your not dripping paint on my rims..
