Hi all, i've been a member on this site for a while now and think its about time i introduced myself and showed you all a few pics of my s1, so here we go: my name is Mark and i live in the south west, i,ve owned my s1 for just over 5 years, although it was fairly tidy when i bought it i wanted more so, it has under gone a full bare shell respray and had just about every bit replaced with new parts. over the last 4-5 months it has had the ofab efi conversion which has made a big difference to the driveability and reliability of the car. anyway thats enough rabbiting on so here are a few pics:



the way it was



the way it is now

thats amazing hats off to you mate

 

 

It's very nice. One to keep.

I know that over on the RSOC there is a list of all running S1's - there's about 200 on the list.

There should be a list of absolute minters - your's would be on it mate!

Take care of it!

 

Minty Mint!

top of the class well done

 

May have to pick your brains for the part numbers of the new bits you sourced
Who did the restoration on the car? As it looks like it would be worth the travel to whoever they are

 

Thanks again for all the great comments everyone . the car is going for its first rolling road set up since the efi conversion next week so il let you all know how i get on . cliff the resto/respray was done by a chap called Wayne at woodlands autos in winsham nr chard somerset. but there wasn't really alot of restoration work to be done as the car was already very tidy & just needed paintwork. pm me for his number mate.
now im having a bit of a dilemma:
this (modern look)

or this? (standard original look)

cant decide so any oppinions
Cheers Mark

 

Standard all the way

 

Im really suprised by saying this but keep it standard mate, I usually can't leave anything alone and I mean that in every sense, I've modded everything , but yours just looks so right with the orange indicator lenses!

Spot on Series 1 mate, whereabouts do you live then dude, I work on the somerset border, about 15 mins from wincanton

 

Oranges mate..but I'm biased. I faced the same decision & let the public decide:

 

Car looks very tidy indeed mate. Well done. keep it that way.

 

love it
