Just saw this thread. I owned this car about 3 or 4 years ago and rebuilt everything. I lent it to my parents and my Mum said is was the nicest straightest little car she had ever driven. Then I sold it to Alex G and now look at it.
Keep up the good work, it looks sick.

thanks mate, its definitely a small world, seems like half of australia has owned this car before me!

decided to move back in to town so i'm closer to the action on my time off. good thing i had the roof bars on the little a3...



turned it in to a real work horse, i didn't fancy trying full boost with that on the top though...



got myself moved in and tried the car in its new home. really don't like leaving it outside and now thinking of selling it, boo...

i've been messing around with photo edit again...

decided to try and do a bit on the car while i'm away, i know it looks shizzle but it should be ok when finished i hope...

a quick paint remove, now to fill and finish before i remove the rear boot lock on the car...

my new bedroom looks like an audi spare parts store room...



the bumper was taking up too much space so it suddenly became wall art...

[guile]

some minor updates, been a bit tied up moving house at the mo. excuse the poop iphone pics, finally installed my red lit air vents...



probably a bit ott but at least it all matches and hopefully looks oem...



just need to get the sunroof switch fitted now...



all that is left to fit is my dead pedal cover from a tt, my piano black door inserts from an s3 and thats the interior finished...

[guile]

bam bam bammmmm....

me trying to break the land speed record and getting busted for a massive 53kph... throw away the keys your honour, send him down...



at least i recon it looks good on the move, didn't realise how much poke there was...

now up for sale, 10g if anyone wants it...

looks pretty low against a hilux...



then all on its own after rush hour...

thanks mate, its a light from a passat w8, i should be able to get you a part number when i'm back.

it's not a straight swap and bit tricky to fit right, i still need to finish it off. the red down lights are wired to come on with the side lights but the plug for the sunroof is different so need to rewire that.

i'll post more info up as i finish it, cheers

with recent hot weather i started to notice my air con was a bit intermitant and with the help of google i tracked it down to a dodgy thermostat. a new one was promptly purchased...



once the old one was FINALLY removed it was clear to see it wasn't in that good shape...



and i am never doing one of these again. if it didn't take long enough to remove it certainly took long enough to install the new one. i also left the majority of the skin from my knuckles on the engine block and ancillaries. next up is a complete coolant flush and refill with genuine oem audi g13 coolant...
