Default Update on my S2

howdy all, got her out and gave a good wash and polish! picked up a tip from the concours boys... mix the autoglym super resin polish with extra gloss in 50/50 ratio. VERY pleased with the results! also put standard hoses back on. all comments welcome



this is off to mike rainbird to be re-leathered


you cansee i had the catches for the opening rear quarters chromed here



she's up to 44'000 miles now so time to go away for the winter and i can get started on that underside
