S1 Restoration LOL
Hello Ladies & Gent's..
Took possession of my S1 a year and a half ago, off my brother who had every intention of restoring her (honest)..
He only had her 5 years..
She's taken half a year to get to the stages here, just saving up the cash for the paintwork.. Can't wait..!!!!
Long way to go yet.. Good job i'm patient.. - Phil

Don't.. i have contemplated changing the colour..
Saw a review of a dark green one somewhere & it looked the business..
I don't think i'd ever live it down, not painting her white..

Hello, still a newbie lol. not had a chance to advance any more on the car due to financial reasons as ever..
But thought i'd stick in some pic's showing the resto in progress as i know you all like (me too lol)
Dont know how long it'll go on for as i took loads of pic's
OK.. during strip.
Next taken on old camera phone so apologies for the size..
Thats some of the front end pic's, will get the rear ones up tomorrow.
Quick story of the car, she was involved in 2 frontal accidents which were repaired.. sorry bodged.. and the rest is good old rust
Cheers - Phil
