Talking Greeting from Chile

Hi folks,
Raul from Chile here. 38 years old and I was "hunting" for an S2000 since my twenties. Sadly the S2000 never officially came to Chile (and Latin-america i guess) and that made this hunting very hard. The only way to get one is by having somebody who lived outside of Chile (Ideally USA) for a long time and then -when returning to Chile- entering his own car to the country.

I finally have an AP1 MY2000 in Silverstone Metallic. Good serviced on engine and basic mechanical things but very bad serviced on others (bushings, engine mounts, chassis, suspension, wheels, soft-top, paint, etc.). Currently working in replacing the old rubbers and worn parts to then start working on chassis and paint. It will be a long and nice journey (imagine how hard is when there are no local stores to get OEM jeje... a nice challenge for sure)



Thanks!

Good luck. Yes, I think it could be challenging sourcing parts for the car. Imagine how much more difficult it would be if the Internet wasn't available? I remember the old days of having to look through catalogs and calling.

The car certainly looks nice and will be even better when you get any issues worked out.
