well its nearly finished now but thought i'd put it up any way

started out last august when i bought it with just a scorpion exhaust and a crusty k & n. full efi transplant.




had enough of the clear rear lights after a few months, so got hold of the smoked rear lenses

when i was fittin em, i decided the bay was dirty, so take the engine out over winter, clean the bay and refit the engine.








then as usual, i started seein bits that i wanted and the car then realised it was destined for the garage for a while

finished result of welding after the floor pan decided to open up


my front poly windows held in by bits of dead twig

 

Few new pics, no news on progress except the brake lines are going to be renewed, the ones for the rear discs are going to be run through the car and passing through a brake bias valve to even it out so the arse doesn't end up chasing the front when i hit the anchors!!

A few pics of the newly sprayed cage





excuse my garage, its a bit of a shite hole while the cars on holiday.

 

right, unfortunately, after much headache and thinking (i think they are connected), i am calling it a day to save myself some money and skin and am going to break the S2. Once i have me gold membership i will be putting me bits in there
