Its become a bit of a work in progress, I bought it last June to use in the winter, and haven't stopped driving it since, spent a small fortune on replacing worn bits...

And its a complete accident they are both Silver
Looks nice though pal, I have loads to do on mine yet including swapping the interior but I'll get to it eventually

The body work is pretty poor, tbh, the front near side wing is bent in at the front tried to straighten it while bumper was off, but it still looks bum droppings, its going to need a professional to fix it as soon as I have some money I'll get the body done, spent too much to stop now, one day it'll be a worth something hopefully

Yeah I know what you mean, If I could find a really nice BB4 (i.e not wanting for anything) like I had before, I'd have to have it, but with no more parking and 2 cars already, I think I'll have to ignore my inner voice.

But if I had the choice I'd probably get another S2000, as my last one had to be sold rather prematurely

Well I've had my lude for nearly 12 years now but I think enough is enough. It needs about 3 or 4k spending on it to bring it back to its former glory.

It will be a sad day when I break it as the engine is sound and still pulls like a train. I have my eyes on an accord type s... got to keep it Honda.

I think that maybe a really good one could fetch 2k these days but who knows in say 5 or 10 years what they might be worth

ATM I would rather spend the 3-4 grand on the Lude than buy a newer car, luckily the Lude still ticks all the right boxes for me. New cars are a pain in the ass, expensive, often poorly made, common, full of bonging audio notifications

.

You have to keep on top of the issues on your lude or (if you are not totally committed) it will slip in to a state where you have to choose to spend a load on it or get rid of it. My road car needs currently needs its ~3 yearly visit to the body shop and a few other things sorted on it before it gets to that dreaded stage. Luckily it doesn't need £3-4 grand spent on it though

Couldn't agree more, I had a 1994 BB4 Lude back in 2003 for about 18 months, did the usual "I'm bored need something else" consequently I've been there, over the last 20-30 years always thinking I need something newer and more reliable... and look where it got me, broke and back with a 20 year old car, that does everything I need, which I paid peanuts for admittedly I've spend twice on it that I paid for it, but it goes pretty well which puts a smile on my face when I drive it, it isn't the usual Ford ST or Scooby that every other petrol head seems to drive

and I can still overtake more powerful and newer cars...

Probably should have just keep my BB4, it would have saved a shed load of money over the last 12-13 years
