Default Newbie introducing myself

Hi my name is simon and i live down in cornwall , i have been meaning to buy a s2 rs turbo for quite a while when i stumbled upon this 90 spec one at a great price .
the car had had a mini restoration , new arches , sills , all rubber seals , new paint all with pics of the work being done .
i agreed a price and bought the car i am very happy with it there is a few things to do but overall its a nice car .
i will be picking peoples brains on some issues i have if i can lol .

Doesn 't sound to bad mate, at least it's got a good body on it. Could the window just be a bad connection???
