    Sheep in Wolves clothing

    Hellow there everyone...

    well she is not an S2, but a 1990 2.0 8 vavle 80 coupe, manual, front wheel drive. I got it 7 years ago, one previous lady owner. I lived in Franfurt then and we had some great trips to teh ring, Austria, France, UK, Holland...and as you will se she picked up some bumps ere n there...so i t was time for a little TLC with my dad to brighten her up...and thought why not make her look a little bit like an S2.

    So heer are the pics on the thread at vwaudiforum....i will add them here when ive got more time.

    She is German, and was give the name "silver bullet" as even for a 2.0 8 vavle she is great, especially on the autobahn (A5 between frankfurt and Heidelburg).

    here she is:


    enjoy.

                      Yes those are 16" competition wheels. Need to restore them next, fit new ball joints, powerflex bushes front n rear, engine need the vavles doing.... starting to tick a bit plus the emissions are over the limit for the TUV. Also goto to fix the interior as the seats are worn so will replace with something from another coupe.

                      Although im tempted tpo leave it and just save up for a real S2... but will probably keep this one as its a great daily run around and soo soo reliable.
