I can see this car becoming the definition of how to take an S2000 and make just about everything perfect - well, for a lot of people anyway.

I'll be interested to see what you fit and why.

Thanks CJ. The plan is to only have the car for 9 months ish so it will be minimal spend but I will be making sure everything is sorted on it and put back to full health. It's Immaculate in the engine bay, just a bit of a clean.

The main jobs are to fix the gearbox bearings and correct the suspension height which is all over the place! Fortunately Mr Veysport knows these cars inside out and will sort it all for a small fee

My 05 headlights will go on too.

Yep.

Engine bay cleaned, all interior cleaned and dusted, used nearly a whole thing of shin-etsu on all the seals. It's looking good. It's had both wings respray end at some point, but all seems to be in order. There's been some leakage in the boot so I'm guessing the rain channels need doing. This will keep me busy.

If the bonnet latch is currently unseized, a good time to clean out any old shitty grease and put some nice new clean stuff in there. Don't forget to lube the release cable up. If you must remove the catch from the car, tippex marks tell you where to refit it
