Becoming an S2000-owner definitely was not on my list of 2024 projections when I started the year but things must happen for a reason because here I am with an AP1 that I acquired for a mere $50. Life is random and interesting that way but you know what? I’ve fully embraced my role now as a caretaker to this former track car. It has some wear and tear but for the most part, it’s still in very great condition and with the S2000 came a ton of parts. The suspension work is quite thorough and the engine is healthy. Nothing much had been done to the exterior other which is perfect for me because I had every intention of changing it up. Mainly because I just can’t leave anything alone but I also wanted to make this AP1 feel more like ‘mine’. About a week after taking ownership of the car, I already began looking for stuff to do to it. It just started to snowball from there. I already had a pretty good idea of how I envisioned it to look in my brain, I just had to have the patience to wait for stuff to show up. As it turns out, I actually have come to really like having this S2000. It’s been so much fun to work on so I decided to dedicate an episode to us changing this $50 S2000 from former track car to a sleek SoCal street-cruiser….
