If I can read between your typos  :) (said the guy who NEVR haz a tipo!) I don't think there was a front spoiler on the S2 but if there was, it was almost surely fiberglass.

Ahhh! I see what you were after! Clever! In case you're interested, there is a cow catcher front spoiler out there. I got mine from Dave Bean (www.davebean.com) but I presume they are widely available. I also heard many years ago that a 240Z front spoiler fits on the Europa.

Good luck with the Elan diff casing!

Hi Del,

Reading between the lines (not always a sensible idea)  I'm guessing your stay wasn't inspiring. All I would say is that regardless of how gloomy things look, you're usually better off if you have an interest to drive you along - toys, projects, decorating the house or even work ! It doesn't matter what you pick as long as you have something to take your mind away from real life for a while. Swearing at stubborn car bits works for me !   ;)

Catch ya later

Brian

Del, I'm really sorry to hear of your health problems! Good luck with your liver transplant! I think Brian's right, get something to take your mind off that but please keep us informed.

Get well soon!

That bundle of fur looks unimpressed, you've obviously not brought food ! I find animals of any shape or form are great for taking your mind off yourself and onto them. With us it's either a ball being dropped on your foot (several times if you're slow on the uptake)  or a surprisingly heavy lump landing on you to announce meal time.....
