Thank you all for having me,nice to be a part if this comunity!
My name is Gabriel and im from Bucharest Romania, ive recently bought a S2 Europa witch i umported from Switzerland
The car has been bought new in 1970 and the owner drive it for 6 years
In 1976 he parked it in storage and never seen the light again untill i bought it in January of this year
Excpet a few modifications that the PO made the car was pretty much original ,a dash console was added some gauges, seatbelts ...all aded during the 6 years of use ..
The engine however is seisez,this being the 1470 cc Renault engine it turned out is not a very easy job traking parts expacialy pistons!
I'm no mechanic I just have a passion for old cars ,so my knowledge is very limited!as Switzerland is not in the UE I ended up paying import taxes with brought the cars price pretty high with transport and everything on top.. so I hope in the end it will be worth it and I've made a good purchase!
Tomorow I'm taking the car to a friends garage and he will take out the engine and il find out what's inside!
I'm hoping to be able to save the pistons and get as much information on this forum
Thanks again for having me

 :Welcome: Luciano!!!

That's a pretty S2! JB is certainly not the only one here who wants to see more pictures of your new baby!

There are several ways of resizing your pictures. Some people prefer this method: http://www.lotuseuropa.org/LotusForum/index.php?topic=1379.0

I seem to be the only one using this method (assuming you're using a recent Windows OS) but you might like it!:
1. display the picture on the screen
2. run a program called the "snipping tool." It allows you to save an area of your screen image to a file.
3. in the snipping tool menu, choose "New." The screen will lighten and a cross hair cursor will come up.
4. with the cross hair cursor choose the portion of the picture (or all if you prefer) you want to post.
5. click disk icon to save the chosen part of the screen to a file.
6. post the new file

It's very easy if my description wasn't helpful, here's a video explaining it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SCjI0f1yeVY&feature=youtu.be

Great to have you here and don't be shy with your pictures and plans for your car!
