Well after a warm welcome to the forum,mark invited me up to look at his orange 2b and see if i could fit inside it

He has also answered calls and texts from me regarding all sorts of random questions.

Anyway he spotted a 2b on ebay and gave me a heads up.

Today after a 6 hour round trip i dropped a deposit on it

Really doesnt need anything spending on it, except a roof. it has some home made 'bikini roof' the guy called it.

Think of it as a small shower cap keep rain off ya head but nowt else.

2 litre pinto on a dgas carb.5 speed. stainless exhaust and manifold and tank, 4 new tyres.

only done 40 miles since may mot.

loads of build pics and videos.

well happy, got it being transported while im at work should have by the weekend

Ive had a few types of carbon wrap for bits and bobs. 3m is the best to work with.

Had some cheap stuff from ebay of late. max autos seems better stuff than others.

If ya need any help give us a shout.

You have PM.

Hi guys. im looking at a 2b hood.

It has brand new never fitted wet weather gear, but guy has lost the frame in a house move

whats the expected cost of a new frame work, so i can knock this off the cost of the car

Not good news. the car was really nice, but being a lanky sod i couldnt fit in.

I sat in marks 2b this week and was ok ,but this was a mark 2 from 1998 monocoque chassis.

was just no room for me. so im on the lookout again

Well wish me luck guys . off to view a hood later.

with a pinto and twin webers. got loads of bits with it too.

New wet weather gear,full cover and lsd axle etc .

The owner now seems a little anal over it,so im tipping its a nice one

Any ideas what to look out for.???

Car looks well now dude. better than other day when it wasnt finished.

Id say its just from short runs dude. dont worry too much yet .

the e46s are well known to create condensation on short runs.

If you worried give it an oil change see how it goes.

Ive currently got a e46 330 and have had bmws and been on forums for 8 years

i saw it for sale and wanted it.. but funds (see wife) wouldnt allow.

didnt realise you were so close to me ,im in barnsley

so plenty of differnt ones about. never heard of an exmo or anythiung til earlier today.

basically go for a nice one ,doesnt matter what model it is then ?????????

Ill try to head over about quart to 8. for a look and a chin wag dude.

ill text ya to say im leaving mine. should take 15 mins to get there.

thanks marcus

I'm hopefully going for blast tonight now its nearly finished, I will drop by if you want and you can at least see a 2b

typical had to go out. only got back at 9 pm, had a bmw z3 up for sale for a week ,which sold today,me and my mate bought to do up and sell on,which will help me fund a 7.wished id was about to view yours..if your free one evening this week,not weds though,ill pop over to you dude.

cheers

Which is the best to go for then a s7 on a 2b in your opinions.Is one newer than the other.

Is it the build date that matter

my mate just bought an astra estate on a p reg for 150. needs tax and a test ,but is proper tidy and reliable.

somet cheap and basic is what ya need.

After some info regarding s7 and 2b.

ive seen a few for sale but am looking for more info before i proceed further.

thanks guys

I was hoping for a bit more info on the questions i asked than just plugs

To be honest guys, not looking to purchase this year maybe beginning of next,gotta sell this years toy first.

When im ready to buy ill be sticking up a wanted and a budget.cheers
