Bonjour. New S2 but needs quarter. ouch!

[Nj]

Afternoon all. I've progressed steadily from 80s to coupes and now have a 2.0 16v that I adore. Just bought a 91 S2 coupe that's had a rear bump. I'm having a replacement rear panel and wing taken off another coupe and sent to me so I have a bit of work ahead of me. My partner in all things car related is a VW/Audi buff and has done some panel work before but if anybody has any good pointers/pictures/step by step guides/pictures of ladies in custard i'd be happy to hear from you. I'll get some pics up later when i'm at home. good side and bad side. there are some strange little things happening with it but nothing that a bit of love and attention won't work out. The important thing is the engine and mechanical bits have had a good bit of money spent on them, keeping it running sweet. Just drove it home for a bit over 100 miles yesterday and couldn't keep the grin off my face.
the difficult part will be convincing my wife that I need to keep it. maybe both cars actually. oh dear.

Glad to be aboard
cheers

Good to have to aboard

Is it red by any chance?

[Nj]

yup. do you know it? previous owner could very possibly be a member here. (this is your cue to tell me there's more to it than meets the eye and i should give up and go stick my head in the oven)

[terrybullwon]

Bigger turbo, more power and mahoosive brakes. That's some good advice!!!

mahoosive..... thats my favourite word ever.....!

[Nj]

haha. good thinking. although if i do that i'll have to polyfilla the wing in and duct tape the boot closed so i don't die of carbon monoxide poisoning.
funny thing is the faster I go the more fumes get sucked in. So when I was overtaking a queue of blue rinsers out on their sunday cruise i almost gagged. so if you see a red S2 about scotland with the driver hanging out the window Ace Ventura stylee that'll be me.

Whatever it takes

Noel, am I the VW/Audi buff you were referring to? :-)

You know my feelings on the whole affair, and with a little cutting and welding in of fresh straight metal, we will get it sorted.

Would be a nice thread for the S2 forum......Want one meself now, but I reckon I am going to have to be with happy with what I have at the moment....

[Nj]

hell yeah. that's you mate. with your technical expertise and my.. erm.. my S2 we'll have it cracked. If we can build a garage with no idea what we're doing we can do this.

[Dubbedup]

Aye of course mate, but I am not dangling from my toes from a roof for anyone

You going this weekend to see yer man?
