S.A.S S2K project - pics

This is the current state of the Marga Hills/Mugen S2K i've been working on. Its just been given a coat of primer to check for areas that still need attention. I little more filling required here and there plus a general tidy up, a rear diffuser needs to be done and then this transkit is complete.

I'm pleased with it and its been an absolute joy to build, LMK what you think???

This is the real thing - http://www.marga-hills.com/s2000.html

This final pic is to show the Veilside tonneau cover i've done. It was a real bitch and i put it off for months, there is still much sanding and shaping to do to get it looking right.

That S2K looks better everytime I see it. The body kit is absolutely perfect for the car. My favorites are the side skirts and the hood. I'm not sure about the wing w/ one post. It'll probably grow on me though... Do you plan on offering the entire body kit on your website? If so, I want one! I can't wait til' it's all done and painted. :bandit:

Chris, that S2k looks perfect even in primer-can't wait to see it in color. Beautiful job, such accurate body lines and attention to detail.

Its certainly my favourate kit for the S2K, the wing is a bit controversial - too ricey some say - but i like it! The transkit will be available, the Marga Hills components will be one set and the Mugen hood and hardtop will be seperate, but will become part of the Mugen set once i complete that bodykit which i will start in the near future.

Most probably yes! I love that colour and it will suit it well.
