At present my S2 is in bits and I do mean bits So if ever you wondered how your electric windows work or your ignition this possibly has some thing to do with it

I've had my dash out 4 seperate occasions, the dash harness, the engine harness, just about everything.

I could almost say I have it all memorized by now.

My coupe is left hand side drive, but if you have any questions I probably can help.

Cheers
Josh

F**k me!!!

Me thinks that there are some folk in here who need to seek some top class psychiatric help

Why oh why would anyone willingly wanna put them selves through this kinda stuff

Oh well, just one more thing to say... good luck dude; Looks like you defo gona need it

PS Why are you doing this???

[B16 UGG]

The reason is simple. When I bought my dream car I did what I thought was all the right things reputable looking garage HPI check and a fairly long test drive with a good looking at afterwards .All was well the only thing that was wrong was a hissing from the fuel cap locking solonoid so one fateful day i decided to strip out the boot lining to repair the hiss only to find an abortion of a repair job on the drivers rear quarter with welding that looked like birds s...t and a 5mm gap at the top where the two panels meet to form the wheel arch .After I landed back on earth I thought ok I did an HPI check all will be well ,Ha f.....G Ha, what a waste of time that was ,They said that because they did not know about the damage it wasnt their problem so go away little man .So there I was with a squint back end ,and it was squint ,I had it checked,So what I decided to do is fix it and that is what I am doing with the help of another shell and a lot of photos and cable tags.And yes I am Insane and have a certificate to prove it.

B16, I kind of fell into the same trap as you. Except I only had myself to blame. I bought a car that on first inspection seemed to be fine. But once I took it to a mechanic (after I'd actually bought it!) I, along with my car were laughed at. But thats a very long story!

But, unlike you, I just sat around crying at my stupidity (not having it inspected before purchase etc)

Well done mate for pulling up your sleeves and going for it

If I had the slightest bit of mechanical/technical knowledge I too would role up my sleeves... unfortunately Im one of those arty-farty n*bs who, in his late 20's still struggles to wire a 3 pin plug ops:
