Default mercury grey s2 rebuild

got myself a 2nd s2 this week. it's a mercury grey one and very mint.
its been sitting in a shed for about 10 years waiting for someone to take a little bit care for it. and it has found me

it's not most most beautiful s2 anymore but i think i can fix that.

here some pic's of how i got it.
look what my view was when i woke up the next morning







i emediatly got the vibe and start making it a little bit better. first was the air/fuel thing, the exhaust gasses where to high ( don't kill me for my english) and it was a very slow starter. i had to start the engine with full throttle and it take's a minute. so had to swapp it. now it starts nice again without useing throttle. it runs nice to.

then the dodgy spec88 front bumper had to go becouse it was a mess.
replaced it with an nice spec90.

and after:



then the exhoust had to go wish was a complete original one and in very good nick tbh. only the rearbox was totaly rotten away.

and after:


replaced it for an complete ss scorpion system wich i had still liying around.
looks and most of al it sounds WAY better

then it became time to clean the inside a little bit. becouse it was very dirty. after taking out tons of garbadge, i decided to take the interior compleetly out and look what i have found:


a very mint floor. me is very pleased whit it. i think it's the mintest one if have ever seen.


only a few bit and bobs to fix like one inner sill and one seat point thing.
so i am very happy with it so far.
i hope next update will see some wleding in progress

thnx for watching.
