Ive had my S2 for almost 20 years now, actually had it on the road for about 5 years but never did actually tear it down all the way. I had a house fire 3 years ago, bought a house, and most recently changed jobs after 24 years at the same place....Point is, the old S2 had been sitting there untouched....I was too stressed out to feel like doing anything to it.....Life is finally starting to settle down again, I can see some good things on the horizon...and my Brother was over for the holidays, it was the first time he saw my new "shop"...He totally busted my balls over letting the S2 sit...sometimes you need that! Finally started taking it apart!!
Ive had it looking somewhat presentable over the years, but Ive never had this one stripped all the way down. So Im gonna do it! Take it all the way down and go from there. I dont have the $$ to put into it for things like powder coating and such but I think I will spring for a real professional paint job when it comes time. Just going to go a little at a time, redo the top end, split the cases, go thru every single piece....At this point in my life I actually can keep it indoors...previously, it had to sit out in the weather, and it seemed whatever I did cosmetically sort of went south quick.
Heres a pic from about 7 years ago, this was about the best Id ever had it, but still it wasnt running quite right....but it was my best rattle can paint job!
