Ripped hood (at window edge), timing chain slapping the guides and wheels refurb. Possible removal of the bushings to be re-greased. Oh, and if its an earlier s2k, vamp it up with the newer "lights".
If it isn't any one those above, i'll be gob smacked!

What do you reckon - buy for 4k, sell for 7k?
Plus a flaky roocker cover

Could upgrade to 17" rims if it an early model, or replace the plastic rear window with a glass rear window.

Change the TCT.


But the real question is whether they will refer to it as AP1 or AP2

It will be interesting to see where he gets his bits from .

If they don't mention bolts and TCT there will be an outcry!

As above, what's the odds on them calling it an AP2?
