Thank you all for the kind words. Just like you all, I am an S2000 Enthusiast too. This is actually my 4th restoration of an S2000. I had build threads for all of them too. I hate seeing them go to waste. And this one is my personal track car so she will be pampered with love. Once the paint work and stuff is done, she will be going through a full interior carpet wash, seat leather rejuvenation and full paint correction. Sometimes I love being a detailer

Update!!! The body work as far as the fender, door, and quarter panel all got done today. They are straightened out to need the last amount of Bondo. I was present most of the time to make sure the job was done right. Here is how she looks now. The panels line up perfectly, and a very thin film of Bondo should be needed. Also took care of the rear quarter panels that hadn't been rolled yet.



The blown air bags were annoying so I cut them out. I am middle eastern aka TurbanHead so I made a good use of it.


Took the car to painter and agreed on a using PPG paint. He told me the exact model/type of base and clear he will use but I forgot the exact numbers haha. That was the whole update for today's work. The car should be ready mid next week according to what the painter said. And yeah no...im going to be checking on him everyday


After a week full of nothing but taking care of 2 s2000 projects, I made some time and ended up hitting the local Go Kart track with some friends after dinner.



And now right before I posted this, I thought I'd share a few of the mods that will be going on the badboy.

Skunk2 Dual . First time every having this exhaust so idk how I feel about it. I heard that they are very loud and drony but make power. Only one way to find out. Plus it was free of my other S2000 so..... .... It was kinda dirty so used some 00-000 wool and metal polish for a quick clean up. Nothing crazy.
BEFORE





AFTER





OEM Lip came in. It was some $$$ to find the oem lip after its discontinued :/



I am not going to buy airbags right now and 2-3 months later ditch them for aftermarket wheel and harnesses so I purchased this Momo too. Sorry couldnt save any of the large pics off eBay :/
