This car is lush, and so much work has gone into it. Well done.

Do you use it as an everyday car?

Big respect goes out to you for everything that you've done to that car. I didn't realise how far you actually went with spraying the underneath. It looks absolutely immaculate

I must say that it is by far the best looking S2 i've ever seen.

The front end is a scorpion with a flexy welded in and the rear box was made by a company just down the road to me,called Hayward and Scott. They actually made the RS200 exhaust systems when the car was in production.

Lookin good mate, like the idea on the towing eye cover, explain more on how that was done then, I guess it is something u had made or made urself?

Also, for your fuel pump, I am doing my underside now also and my pump cradle is pretty shot, did u buy a bnew unit from Ford? I was lookin at the AS stainless jobbie they sell and may well go along with that, but I have to use my existing rubber flexi mounts, so not too sure yet.

What rear brake setup do you have?

Thanks. the tow cover was made up by a friend,not to sure how he done it but it is made of fibreglass,i will try to find out for you,my fuel pump bracket was from fords it comes with the new big rubbers already fitted i got the little rubbers aswell and used stainless nuts and bolts,the other parts of the bracket i had powder coated,i could not get the rubbers out thats why i went for a new one its about £30 ,my rear brakes are from a Focus with rs 2000 hand brake cables ,down the scrappy
