Default My S1 Restoration project

Hi People

In the middle of restoring my s1. Basically she has been completly stripped down and re-sprayed including the engine bay. The underside has also been stripped and sprayed and all of the suspension bits and pieces have been blasted and powder coated. All is being put back together using new nuts, bolts. clips etc etc.

I have to say that I cannot take all of the credit for all of the work that has been done so far, my brother (Mungus) has been an excellent help and she would be looking the way she does without his help. For those of you who know Mungus, only the best will do so im over the moon with the way things are progressing.

Few pics below...let me know what you think so far

Matthew

A few pics of the underside








All new nuts, bolts etc etc





Powdercoated wishbones etc



Majority of the rear suspension back on







And now the engine bay










Finally weve just fitted new GRS intercooler and Rad



Engine and box to go in next. Will post more pics as things progress
