are building a wrecked s of this condition cheaper than just buying one? Id love to do a s2k build from scratch, but i can only afford the one i have lol

 

Holy sh!t it does line up perfectly!!! I didn't think it was possible to bring it back 100%. Is it a computer frame straightener?

Also, why not use some eBay headlights until you find some real ap2 ones?

 

I lived in that area for nearly five years before moving to AL in 2011. Wish I knew you were around, would have loved to have seen the last S in person.

 

Looking good so far man. Will be excited to see where the build goes this time!

 

thanks everyone! waiting on a good deal on some headlights. As far as the frame machine that was used. It is an old dinosaur Kansas Jack unit with laser set up. It does get the job done though.

As far as impact solid. The frame rails on s2000's are very very easily manipulated. Almost every front end accident of an s2000 results in bent frame horns. The Bumper Beam is the most solid structure of that part of the car as there is almost no support of the frame rails beyond the beam under the air box. I think thats why people are so scared of wrecked s2000's. I have fixed 2 now that have had front frame horn damage and I would say that it is perfectly safe in an front impact. The frame horns are the weakest link of the s2000 unibody.

 

The real question is, will the CR fender make it faster?

 

yes or at least handle better. It has too.

 

Lots of hardwork ahead, best of luck to you

 

Hard work is done, check out the updates.
