LOL - yeah I haven't been around much the past few years, and this project will be a slow one but I managed to get myself sufficiently inspired to breathe some life into the old girl again - hopefully I don't find it rotten anywhere significant which ruins the whole idea.Paul Nugent

BTW - someone joked earlier about original tires on another thread... that front right wheel is the original Kleber spare - it has pure Ingolstadt air in there - so its extra special !Paul Nugent

Hey Paul, great to see this car getting some love again. Its sad how quickly they deteriorate when sitting idle. I took the easy way out with my CQ20v and gave it to my nephew so its tearing up the country side not far from you.
Cheers,
Mark.

BTW - does your S2 have manual air conditioning ? I have all the bits to convert a B3/B4 to climate control from parts from a donor B5 - won't be doing it on mine and they will be silly money to post - so looking for someone on this island who might be interested... I will happily help with installation / conversion etc.Paul Nugent

Thats so weird, I've passed it a bunch of times, northern reg plates, same colour, and always waves at me. Could have sworn it was you, good job i didn't give him the finger lol.
Mine has the "open a window" conditioning, though David might be interested for his avant.91CQ20v - Gone to a new home

Pass a message onto David (and my regards)... I cannot remember his forum name... we should meet up some time before winter sets in - maybe try and rustle a few other local lads up.Paul Nugent

A bit of TLC can bring back any car from the brink
PS: Dont pop rivet a sheet to replace the sunroof You could be kicking yourself later on when the S2 coupe is worth £12k.
The sunroof itself could be taken apart and repaired.

It's going to cost me 9-12k to get it where I want it. I think I must be slightly mad as that kind of money gets a serious plaything with a Maserati 3200GT badge on it. But the fun for me is going to be building something - famous last words. Sure how much "fun" would it be to have a teenage Maserati in the garage. Lol. It's a cashflow thing anyway - reckoning to spend a few k per year over 3-4 years and try to make the finished article as unique and high quality as I can.
As for the sunroof - I kind of hate sunroofs anyway - I will be taking at out and blanking the hole with a plate made of alloy metal, fiber glass or carbon.
I set a target completion date for July 2018 as it will be exactly 25yrs since the S2 rolled out of Ingolstadt. Figured that is a good enough milestone that is far enough away to give me a fighting chance.Paul Nugent

I believe that cost for rebuild as its cost me around that to rebuild the avant. It's crazy but you are right its more about the journey / process than the car. I was saving up for a Hopefully I'll have the avant on the road for its 20th next year.
I hate sunroofs too, but after rebuilding mine and seeing where the trouble was, its not that bad.
