Default S2 freshen up

Exhaust removed , clean up begins

Body kit of all looking good
Even the brake lines are rust free
Wing liners out happy days no rust
Hard to believe it's nearly 30 years old

Time to get scrubbing and remove the wax oil

Clean under floor , remove and paint mechanical components and hopefully end up with a concourse car.
