Trust me I know of at least one green one that may put paid to that theory. You've just got to wait for him to put all the lumpy bits back under the plenum first .

Cheers Chris, lovely S2 btw. Good to see you up at Daves place. Look forward to seeing the V8.

I agree Harry, shame to hide it under waxoyl, but needs must, and at least I took some pics.

And....I didn't miss a bit.

Cheers

Thought I might weld the axle stands on there ready for next time, they simply had to match.

My chassis was that colour underneath so as I am a bit of a stickler thought I would do it as it was so to speak.

Now for lashings of snotty waxoyl to spoil it.

Mike, I personally use an electronic immobiliser on my car, was just wondering if you find those four mechanical ones more effetive at ensuring the car stays at the roadside where you let it? And where do you put the wheels once immobilised?

You don't want one of those new fangled electronic doodahs...Re the wheels, its easy, 2 broom sticks, use roof sections, apply wheels to broomsticks and roof, sit on and away you go.

oh, they are indeed.

top work Mike. How on earth do you find the time to do such an A1 job so quickly?! You must have a lot of time off, oh hold on.... Its taken me 3 weeks to replace a couple of headlight brackets that had rusted away on the Lotus, albeit having to fully remove all the front end to do so
