I've been asking a few questions on this forum the past few weeks to get some advice on a restoration job im doing on my S2 reg No F*** TOY, A few people have been saying I should start a thread so here goes.

I've owned the car 12 years and was a right old dog that I bought for £400, anyway several engines, some poor prep work (paid for), and a full respray later and the poor old girl is getting a bit rough under the tidy bodykit and interior. The plan was to replace the battery tray, remove some minor rot and blow in some panels, BUT, when i started removing bits I found more and more rust.

My plan for the car is to replace lots of panels, sand blast/zinc the shell add lots of waxoil and a nice lick of paint. I've got everything needed for Cos management, some GAZ coilovers and a lovely set of big Brembo F3 calipers etc etc.

The car





Front panel





Rear panel





other Rot










etc etc etc etc etc

I'll try and keep this one going, Gonna take time cos i work crazy hours and don't get much time to spend on it

Any advive or help will be great.

Cheers Sam
