Got the white walls fitted today and took some pics.

I want to wash the wheels and give them a detail so the red looks better.
Without the hub caps it gives it a street rod look:







Now im tossing up between keeping hubcap and wheel trims vs just hub cap but looks more povo spec without wheel trims although i like the colour contrast











I cant wait till i lower it!

Finally registered!



Now off to the mechanic for a service and a altitude adjustment.

I would keep the hubcaps and the red wheels to be honest, it is a cruiser isn't it?

Not much of an update at the moment. I would have liked more to be happening but my mechanic went away on holidays and will be coming back next week. but in the mean time here are a few things that i got that are interesting:

NOS uncut Ignition key as you can see with the original Door key:



Original English manual (most are in German) with original folder:



This came in the mail from Germany:



Certificate of Production from Audi:



As you can see it says the car was a UK delivered car which I am investigating. Unless all Aussie
F103's were designated as UK cars due to them being RHD? Also it says it was delivered in 1969 which according to my records has been in Australia since 1968. At least the colour codes are correct



It also came with a copy of the original Production Card:



I also bought a copy of Australian Motor from 1967 as they were reviewing a LHD Red 4 Door F103 before it was launched in Australia:









Came with a Castrol poster which i thought was funny with the "race" cars they chose:





Quick pic only changes are I got rid of the Mk1 Golf mirrors the owner installed and got some nice shiny chrome ones along with some red fuzzy dice for something differnt



Cant wait to get it fully serviced and the suspension all sorted!

[Jarred]

Too cool. love all the old production info and period reading material!

[mikinoz]

Played with this last night and it is very cool. It will turn heads for sure.

Nice car, congratulation and enjoy it. Keep it original.

[robbie]

So clean! Loving the curvy lines of the front of the car the more I see it - It's beautifully presented and IMO it's from great era of classics.

Props for purchasing all those original documents from that period of time. To me, that's what a car enthusiast is about.

After months of looking i found one of the earliest Stereo Blaupunkt Frankfurts from the late 60's
These were fitted as dealer options to the Audi's
This is even more rare as its a USA version which has FM/AM buttons vs the usual U/L German buttons.
Im so chuffed:

[drad81]

Costa you bringing the car to the Sydney German Autofest this Sunday?

[XXX-1.8T]

No still at mechanic so dont see it making it there

Maybe next year

[XXX-1.8T]

Altitude adjustment is done.
I have decided on the wheels for something different but period correct:

Anxiously waiting for more pictures Costa
