Default My S1

Picked this up at weekend, B plate S1 Turbo which previous owner had owned for 11 years. Car is totally standard except full magnex, k&n, boost gauge and strut brace.













Car was restored 5 years ago which included new wings, inner wing repair panels, crossmember, front panel, floorpans, inner sills, rear quarter repair panels etc and with the owner being on nightshift, the car was neglected a bit as you can see!

My plans are to put 2 doors on, tailgate, new bumpers and stripes to get her looking sweet again, then thinking about some more horses

She is generally pretty solid and honest! Goes and drives really well for age and i reckon with a few improvements she'll be a nice, useable RS!

Hope you like

Nice to see these S1 get the attention they deserve. Picked one up myself a couple of weeks ago. Love it.

I'll post a pic when I can.
