thanks for all replies on this thread.
Can you do a rebuild thread for us, with lots of pictures please?

Like the one PeterS2000 did that I can't seem to find & he's vanished.

Yup that's me

The crx is gone, sold that to make space for this one

Do miss it sometimes as it was so much fun to trash around but the s2k does make up for a lot

Fair enough.

But no sign of him on here (member list) or the thread?

Was it fixed?

Was the change in personal circumstances, either -

1. This project is going to cost more than I thought so I'm getting rid of it?

2. My perfect S2000 for sale because of other reason?

Just wondered if the fact the original thread doesn't seem to be around means it was deleted in case anyone tried to trace the history of the car on here.

It was on Ebay - completed but without an MOT or, I'm guessing, a VIC certificate. It was listed twice - the first time it bid upto £4800. I didn't follow it when it was relisted.

If the OP can get all the work done inclduding purchase for £5k that will be about par value.

Mine is cat d which I picked up for less that the one you're looking at - it has 60k on the clock and came with a lot of goodies including an expensive sound system, CAI and an s2k plate. The cars are not worth much when they've been pranged, but £5k is about right.

Good luck
