    S2 Quattro coupe sat for 11-12 years, running when parked but has deteriorated badly

    Hello everyone,

    Thankyou, Tom

    Some parts are a bit of a pain to find new but if your on here then you can normally find what you want second hand.

    That actually doesn't seem too bad cosmetically for something that's sat for so long, it actually looks very straight and orginal appart from the wheels not being correct but not recondition correctly.

    What sort of milage has it covered and what's the interior like, is it dry inside?

    Unless it's really rotten underneath then it looks like a good project so it depends a bit if you want to keep it for yourself or sell on quickly.

      Thankyou for the response,

      i believe the wheels should be alright underneath( previous owner had painted over them ) and yes the interior is pretty dry, a bit of mould but nothing serious and I believe it is around the 60k mile mark. Main issue is going to be wiring due to the rat issue. And from what I can tell underneath is not too bad just some surface rust which is surprising

        Those wee effers, why can’t they just leave the wires alone!

          Looks like a good project. Where are you based? Lots of very helpful people on here.
          Whatever you do, don't try and start it or turn it over. I would recommend 're commission work before. I can help if you are near West Wales

            Hi Dave,
            Thankyou for the response. I’m in Leicestershire and I’ll keep that in mind, (don’t want to do any more damage?)
