got this little project yesterday ,86 with 44k on the clock .as you can see it will require some major rssto work but in general it has a solid floor etc .im in two minds wether to go all out and cossie it or just get it back to a nice useable s1.

what do you think ?

 

Good man!

 

cheers karlos

what panels are available new from ford mate?

 

She's in need of some love!

 

it sure does daz ,and will get all the love needed to get her back to her former glory.

its a long term project,but will be bare metalled and all panels needed will be fitted .

 

has anyone got expierience with hadrian panels for a s1 ,ive only heard good things and was wondering has anyone had any bad experiences with them.

all info greatly appreciated folks

 

looks a good project mate ill be following it hope all goes well, by the way do you still have the wheels you offered me a while ago?

 

lol ***EDIT*** brave man, have you looked under the carpets yet?

Best of luck what ever direction you go mate, got to love an s1

Rob,

 

cheers scott ,its a long term one mate ,i cant see me starting it till next summer to be honest .

im suppossed to be a guy looking at them this week ,i will let you know if they dont go scott

 

hi rob ,the floor is already painted and was no rot atall ,as was the boot floor .
im going to bare metal it anyway and make sure theirs no rust lurking under the paint

inner wings are solid ,boot floor good ,battery tray good .the car is pretty sound all round .
the reason the front looks so tatty is the guy who owned it was driving it up and down a 4 inch kerb and it kept banging the road

but i love s1,sso will be worth the effort lol

 

nice one for keeping it alive

all the best with it

 

Lol, sounds like you have bagged a decent project mate, you should definitely get a project page up!

Rob,

 

will do rob

 

il give you 200 euros for it james if the fllors are good james i wouldnt cossie it,
dont tell me your selling the rev's?

 

thats what i was thinking with floors being good ,i think a nice sensible 150/175 bhp will do .i have a set of 16 inch rl7s sourced but they need a refurb andy.
no the revs are satying put ,scott was looking at my sharktooths .

 

they will look stunning james, this is a start to a breaking thread on the sapphire now james will you be putting EFI on it mate?

 

Pussy

 

no saffs will be broke or harmed whilst the s1 is restored andy lol

im not too up on the efi on the turbos andy,does it make a big difference?

what do you think of hadrian panels ?

 

restore it to original. the value of these is just going up and up.

 

huge difference james, karlos g will agree, one of the best mods you can do to a MFI car
iv bought a few of there panels james but never fitted them but i did seach on here about them, must said best fitting panel you can get, even one said the hadrian fitted better than ford panel.

 

whats the story behind it?why so low miles,wheres it been hiding?

 

thats my thinking,but to be honest it wont be sold [famous last words lol]

cool andy ,you will be busy answering pms in the future no doubt

cars out of nottingham ,and was vandalised in the guys garage

lights broke ,widows broke ,paint threw over the car outside and inside ,seats all slashed ,
the guy i bought it off replaced most of the damage including bonnett ,door etc

 

nice one, keep it standard prices are on the up, for that power id leave it k jet

 

love an S1....i'd be building it back up as standard myself, a good low miles S1 will be an investment!

 

i would say 85% of the budget will be getting it looking right ,this one aint going to be about power jonny

yeah mate i think standard is the future of this project

nice project mate keep it as an s1 turbo though in my opinion but very nice project

 

cheers craig ,i think its going to stay as standard mate ,just an extra 30/40 bhp would be nice

 

i cant believe i missed this rob

i just want it reliable and useable ,i want to have something to use when the saffs are broke down lol

just had another look around it today and the parcel shelf is like new ,no holes for speakers and the dash has no cracks atall

 

it will be nice mate and you will hold your value keeping it as a turbo s1 good choice m8

 

Nice looking car mate, ive always fancied a s1! good luck with it

 

cheers craig


cheers mate


im surprised at the number of people who think keeping it standard is the way to go,minds made up now .
i will find one with a rotten floor for a cossie conversion at a later stage lol
