SHE'S A GOER 2
The old grey tub runs again!!
We've had set back after set back with parts being delayed and the weather against us for the past 2 weeks
As said in my resto thread - It's all down to Dingo's dogged determination and immense patience
THANK YOU DINGY 
You deserve a medal for putting up with this grey heap and me giving you shit for the last 6 months. Haven't got enough words to say how grateful and pleased i am with it - and it's only moved off the drive so far!
The car feels really tight with the suspension and front brace in - can feel and hear (or not as the case is) the difference, as it used to flex and creak coming off the drive
Brakes with ABS taken off feel tonnes better
Throttle response is different = AWESOME
Thanks as well to the NMS boys KARL/ MARK/OLI and BUTCH, LEE R21, JONNO, DAVE COS 4X4, STICKER PAUL, MANCHESTER MIKE & NIGHTDAVVA for countless phone calls, advice and bits and bobs. You lot are the best!
From one very happy girl

No time to relax, car needs a few fine road tweeks so it can be mapped flat out by Mr Norris and Mr Meredith LOL....
Hopefully that will happen very soon and the car will be good for some 25 psi of hammer

Cheers Paul, very much looking forward to and ready for Germany now
Thanks Lou Lou
Ding - you are a man on a mission lol All credit to you for cracking on when i've lost the will to live!
Turned it round on my road twice on sunday, but it's a bit too low on the coilovers (the exhaust caught on a manhole cover ) and the petrol cap has welded itself on - otherwise we're pretty much ready to go

Don't know about you Dingo, but i'll be glad to be 900 miles away from the shiney shitter for 3 days lol
Cheers for sorting oil breather
Can't see the car getting hammered much round my way - set the neighbours car alarm off creeping past
She has a voice now!!

How ironic that Dingy the Mr hater of all S2's should spend so much time on yours Linsay
Good to hear its up and running now
Reckon it will be fast enough to take the krispy kremes out of Tony's mouth now?

AndyRST it used to be - if it's not MkII and 450+ bhp Dingo wasn't interested
Think this is the 4th ERST i know of that he's done all different and all time consuming
Not sure if it's quick enough, but would give it a go lol
Am gonna think up a new challenge for this year - You hear me Tony!!
