Looking bloody good! alot of time and effort put in there.
How was round the sunroof for rust? Ive always wondered how you would tackle the dreaded sunroof rot? Not an easy job i would think.

ok folks time for a well deserved update on the thread ,
after a discussion with jacko it seemed he wasnt going to finish it anytime soon , ric got to the point where he started looking elswhere to have the rebuild of the s2 finished ,
as me and special k no longer want or have any affilliation with blueoval garages rick had asked us about completing the car , but with a busy schedule this didnt look to possible in the time frame rick needed it doing by ,
however when reiving quotes up to 10 k without vat , neither me or special could have the poor bloke fork out that much on a project thats about two years overdue already ,
so i offerd to put my own booked in fabrication time back a couple of weeks to allow ricks car to be completed , and with an unfortunate problem found in an s2 we had in for fab thats had to go bk to its owner , ricks cars been fast tracked by two weeks
so with that said the car was dropped off at specials yesterday ,were a to do list was made up ,
ill get some pictures if the position shes in later on today , and get the thread updated , plan is to have the interior boxxed up by the weekend , with ric visiting sat , then it will be onto running gear , kit and finallly engine
so keep watching folks , going to be plenty of updates
