Hi all,

I have been watching the progress of the S600s' on this forum for sometime and thought I might post some pictures of a couple of S600's I aquired late last year.













I am still in two minds as to what happens from here, I will be selling of the spare shell and chassis but have not decided if I will undertake a conversion or install the 600cc motor. I know this will probably start a flurry of threads from the purists to keep it original but the cost of a full on resto will actually out weigh a conversion.

Wow, nice project!

 

what about a mostly resto, where it's 'driver quality' with the 600cc mill? Unless you're at a parts shortage, I don't think it'd cost too much.

Just a thought, it'd be really slow. but really neat, and wonderful in the turns.

 

nice finds. where are you from? obviously not USA. i'd say resto. but that's me. that one shell looks beautiful.

 

I personally would just modify it. There is one for sale in Australia claiming to have spent over $10,000 rebuilding the 600cc motor, to still come to a crawl at the slightest of hills (Ok, it's not that bad, but for some hills I wish they put synco in first gear). However on flat ground, the sound it makes is incredible. In terms of resale value, it's a tough one. It's only worth what someone is willing to pay (I got some plain silly offers when selling mine). From a personal view, if I was in the market for another S600 Coupe, it would have to be modified! I would probably pay more for a modified one (of course the motor would have to be something that was desirable) then a original.

People will stare at the car no matter what is under the hood! Anyway, keep us posted on what you decide to do with them!

 

Nice projects. I would say stock restore, but its your car. Have fun with it!

 

I want one with an f20 ! Nice car should look gorgeous restored.

 

Nice car, best of luck with it. I like the wheels. If you do decide to go with a custom drivetrain, I might be interested in the original engine if you want to sell it.

 

wow sweet car good luck

 

s2000 engine would be boss

 

I would love to buy your spare shell but it looks like you are not in the USA.

 

did you say selling one shell?
whats your location?
would love to take one one of these restores

 

I am in Sydney Australia, probably a bit far

 

lol found one in here locally (what are the chances?)
g/l with your build and hope to see more pics on it...

 

Gents,

I will be selling the old shell and chassis along with engine block that is believed to be the one that was in the car when it was first registered. I will put some photos up in the next few days. I am located in Sydney Australia. I also have plenty of parts including a complete S600 motor with carb's. New set of pistons, plenty of new gaskets for the motor, gearbox's, diff, wheels etc. If anyone is interested please let me know.

 

Please send me a PM with your asking price on the complete engine and carbs; also you mention wheels, are they the aftermarket ones in the pics, or the the stock steel wheels.

 

can you go ahead and deliver to my house? thanks..

 

You have some good options either way you go. Great find, I wish I could get my hands on a s600 or s800, but they are hard to find out here.

 

Nice!

 

Shell has been listed on ebay as have a set of new pistons.

 

dude that roadster is sick...

 

Very nice find. I wish we had rust free shells like that up here in Canada.
