Just wondered, apart from my S2, who else is restoring / developing or improving their 'S' at the moment?
It would be interesting to hear what plans people have for their cars.

it's the best S2 interior I've ever seen, the V8S bonnet looks fab, and it sounds ace!

I take it you've got big plans for it then

Cheers,

Dave.



What are the plans then? Any piccies of the interior?

Jas.

P.S. Plans for mine include.......
Seats re-covered in fresh hide.
New carpets. (Wilton or waterproof equivalent).
Full respray in the same shade of red as Kat Slater's lipstick.
New differential internals. (LSD)
New gearbox internals to my own closer ratios.
V8S style exhaust.
New Wilwood / Brembo / Hi-Spec 4 pot front brakes.
Rear Cosworth disk conversion.
Engine rebuild. (Bored to around 3.2 litres, 3 angle valves, ported, flowed, fully balanced, lightened, fast road cam, new fully rolling roaded ECU mapping, uprated big end bolts, etc....)
New mohair hood
Aluminium roof struts
Chromed instrument bezels. (It should look quite good as I have the full early 'S' series wood dashboard).
Wheels re-finished.
Chassis shotblasted and re-painted. (probably zinc painted first, then may use that por15 stuff).

LeeBee,
That dashboard is exactly what I want for my 'S', except I have a wood dash and wooden TVR steering wheel.
Are those instrument bezels the Speedy Cables, (Islington) ones or are they home made?
The same question goes for the fan / fog / instrument panel knobs. Are they Leven Technology?
