Twins, as said before mate, i love this car, sell it me please!!!LOL
I really want to sort mine underneath, not quite to the standard youve got there, but looking clean if ya get me. Do i really need to take all the fuel tank/lines/pump etc off, also the rear arms etc cos im really not mechanically minded and havent really got mates who are, i was just thinkin about getting it all waxoiled but would i be better painting it all white with hammerite/smoothrite and then waxoiling it??
Oh yeah, and what exhaust is that youve got mate??
I really have no idea where to start!?!

Started work on the dash today, did not do much just wanted to get the position right etc
This is all going to be flushed in nice and smooth
Lots of filling glass fiber and shaping ahead
This area above the glove box is to be filled over nice and smooth.

lucky enough to see this at essex every month, the effort put in is mindblowing and the pictures dont do this car justice.
well done lads, gotta be one of the most complete S2s in the country
