After reading through various project threads im just wondering how bad a S2 needs to be before you would scrap it?

It seems the only rust you cant just cut out is on the roof. All other areas seem treatable if you have the patience.

Your oppinions please!

 

it all depends on your budget and how much you love your car i think

 

if its a snotty old shitter then scrap it

 

if you scrap it,you wana sell the arches lol before you scrap let me no,i may no some one intrestid if that is what you decide to do
pete

 

im not on about scrapping one.

 

aghhh shit sory lol.i missread lol

 

depends on the amount of rust, if its just small patches here and there then most people will repair if its all over and practically all panels need repaired or replaced then financially better off reshelling.

as for the roof.. it can always be reskined with a new/replacment/carbon one.

 

i've seen cars on here with nothing much more than a bulkhead and roof! crazy amounts of work.

 

well said...


i agree

 

Well I've got rust in my roof that I'm gonna be cutting out, it aint a big job, is it?

I've had to replace floor panels, arches, cills etc which in my opinion is not a great deal of work/expense and the car is gonna be worth more after it. You'll probably find alot of S2s out there advertised Ł2k plus in need of this kinda work too! If the tin rot was to be hiding in places structural and everywhere else then it'd be of to the scrappies.

 

nothings unrepairable
