Twins i think we will all agree that the attension to detail is awesome & that your s2 is prob if not the best one out there im not sure how much you can improve this car now.How about you doing a escort cossie or 3 door & doing the same before anyone says money doesnt grow on tree's i know i just think the escos or 3 door they will make would be awesome
