Default My New Black S2 Project EFI

Well i thought it was time i did a new post for my project i brought the other week, seeing i finally took a deposit on my cabrio today Its goes tuesday - The end of an era after 7 years!

Have wanted another black one for some time and when this came up i snapped it up. Nice to have a different colour car on the drive as there are 4 white ones at the mo

Pis of the day i picked it up.








This weekend i started doing a few bits and bobs to it, ditched all the the loom in the door ready to wire in an efi one. Changed the tailgate for one with a 90 spec spoiler. Also decided to strip everything out, to check how clean it really was, I was amazed by how clean it is

"good powder coats near to me"

Alex, come see me next week for powder coating I am (Hopefully) having my oven fitted this Sunday (Bloke is booked to do the electrics, but not sure if he will turn up)....

Also, I have my own paint gun if you need any painting done? Have you seen how JB's de-locked doors came out?? not bad for my first attempt
