Shah, I also have an s2 in the USA. I have ordered from every single vendor. Tim is out most knowledgeable man here for sure. But when you go to order stuff, feel free to email me your list of parts and I can tell you who would be the best to order through and the best updates to do. Uprated s3 style motor mounts, updated engine stays etc. I've had really hit or miss build quality with sjs. Jae is fabulous, no one has mentioned r dent out of PA who also has been a godsend for me for some local specific oem stuff, and if they don't have it they know the people who will. Regardless of you need some to review ya list and say yeh don't order this item from this vendor, this one's a better deal or better quality, lemme know. I've legit completely tore my entire car and rebuilt it at this point. There alot of info available for us on this forum, but not many videos. So if suggest watching George's channel who's overseas restoring a series 2. He uses a specific editing style that really helps you see how the parts come apart. Of you are going to be taking the car or parts apart check out his channel. You will be so thankful to see a video of how it's done and it will really help you visualize the job ahead of you. They sure helped me. If you go to playlist you can see all of his lotus videos.??. My email is zenhorizon@... if ya need help. I sometimes gotta ask a question or stuff on here and luckily most the times I get answers lol. Best of luck!? ?- Blake

It sounds like I have a healthy bit of work ahead of me. Fortunately, the car was stored in a rather dry climate and covered and garaged, so I hope the issues around rusted parts during the storage will be less likely. Either way, I will be sure to check all the things listed here. Going to pull together a shopping list of stuff based on this feedback. I live about 1.5 hours from JAE (and just down the street from Lotus by Claudius) but already have an order opened with SJ Sportscars so maybe I can sneak in a few extras into that shipment. |
