Sellers pics didn't do it justice

That looks a lot better than It did in the sellers pics.
Finding nice wheels for these is difficult. I've looked into adapters to change from 4x108 to 5x114.3 and they are available on Ebay.
Saying that Tirerack in the US have a some nice wheels (ASA AR1's) and they ship internationally.
I'd be really interested to know how you get on.

no JMAC,they dont illuminate when ignition on..ive tried when low beam/high beam and pressing all the 3 buttons in the center.

I pulled open the drivers side door to see what condition the window reg is in WOW!!! one green plastic runner has cracked and when I opened the motor the cable had flipped and twisted itself. ASV wanted $290 for a window reg with cable, so I think ill try and get the cable re manufactured.been told its about $120 or so... do you guys think maybe the cable off a AUDI cab/ mk3 cab would be able to modified and fitted??

everyone today that saw it freak out how clean it is,,,I must say ,it needs some TLC then it will be smick!

looks like ill try some adaptors...you got a link superfly.nn?????


ps- going on holidays tomorrow for a week guys,so ill get back to your replies when I get back!

Audi Cab is the same Reg mate!!! with lights on pressing the buttons they should light up. Ok try this, does the switch actually illum with the dash and centre console etc with the switches in the off pos?????? if no then they could simply be disconnected at the switch or blown fuse, cant all be faulty.

Hi - congrats on a rare (in Oz) car.
Wheel studs are 4x108 but porsche 924 wheels wont work as the offset is way wrong. If you go on the OzAudi forum for sale section there have been some guys selling wheels that will fit. You might need to search back a little and then pm them or something.
The fog lights only come on with parking lights and go off again if you switch to main beam.

Some volvos use 4x108 and have some nice BBS 16x6.5 as an optional extra on S40s


Not too sure on the offset though.

thanks guys for the wheel suggestions!! will be looking into those thoroughly after I fix this DAMN WINDOW REGULATOR!

while I was on holidays,my mate looked closesly at the wheel inside the window regulator and the gutters that control where the wires sit have been ruined.there are a couple of AUDI CABRIOLETS wrecking so ill see how much they want to rip off for before looking o/s.window is being held up with some blocks of wood ARGGGHGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! any other ideas guys????

tomorrow ill try and give it a good vacuum and polish...ill post up the pics when I do.

the fog lights dont come on at all,even with just the parkers,so I suspect either they have been disconnected when the car was imported in or the globes are gone...check that also tomorrow.

the timing belt was done last year,I have the receipt when the radiator and belt was done... $780!!

car hasnt been started in 8 days and it turned over first go today!

ok,spent 3+ hrs washing and waxing the exterior this arvo..ran out of elbow grease and gave up on the interior.
seems specific places on the body have been washed or rubbed with a scourer pad.,wing,sunroof,part of the bonnet,a pillars and top half of the boot.I tried with Autoglym paint renovator then autoglym super resin polish but the scratches are way too deep.BUT the car looks much better ! take a look!

bonnet marks








did a couple of small mods,removed the audi,2.2 badges and stuck on my spare stubby airiel......
managed to fix the fog lights,it was a bad earth on the globes themselfs.once I removed the globes the lights worked.
also fixed only the passenger seat which was not flipping forward,both cables are broken and 2 half pieces are missing,so I connected and did a shifty to make one,which now works.
anyone know if you can get just the cabel or one of a similar car????
