Default Just bought the worlds shittiest S2000

Hey gents,

Joining the forum because I think I along with my buddy just bought the shittiest S2000 ever and will be looking for a lot of parts and to gain some knowledge what works on these cars and what doesn't.

I've actually built a lot of different platforms before but super excited about this one since I've always wanted an S2K.

You can actually watch the video and decide whether it really is the crappiest S2k out there hahah.

LOL! Nice video! Sadly, I'm sure there are S2000s out there in much worse shape. Welcome!

As said in the video, it's rough around the edges. But I don't think it's anywhere near the worst S2 out there.

Hell, mine has a footprint in the driver door, an Expedition hit the 1/4 & door, an ex-employee of mine backed into the same 1/4 & door just below the Expeditions damage, lip is cracked, and dings here & there on fender and other 1/4. But all that's getting fixed here in about a month or two.

Save the Suzuka.

All things considered, it's not that bad. Looks like a junkyard F22 (AP2) motor in an AP1, but it can definitely be restored.
