Great work! Love the exhaust.

Is that a new brake fluid reservoir? Where did you get it… I need a new one!

Cheers, its a used one that I cleaned up but the one thats coming of the car is nearly immaculate so if I do that servo etc proffesionally I will have the better resevoir to go on it.

I never tried to find a new one but I have never seen one, maybe Vw still does them  :dontknow:

Hows your build coming along ??

Mike you wouldnt want me to ruin your motor would you  :redfaced:

Hope yours is coming alongI am sure it is. Just recently met a guy a few miles away with the same car as you in very good condition, he has started a thread on the projects forum, his name is DELBOY1975, check it out as I think he is going to improve his over the next wee while too?

LOL. Yes been busy doing a other little project i had going on which was a vw lupo but now finished going to move it on and buy another audi s3  as a every day car.will update my thread over the weekend.

Got the car its intermediate service today to keep its FSH and got my refurbed servo, master cylinder and brake linkage fitted. Obviously a brake fluid change needed at the same time, took a couple of pics and it looks decent, just need to clean the area around the brake linkage now to finish the bay off.

Just a couple of pics after a 3 hour pampering today














Now got to decide whether to get the sills, mirrors and dents painted and sorted OR get the new gearbox rebuilt and fitted ??

Some very nice detailing that you have done to the car.keep up the good work.!

I have started saving up already, remember to give me first shout when you finish MY car to see if I have saved up enough pennies  :wink:

Mine is the opposite of yours it has been an Essex car from Brentwood, then serviced there til 1994, then Ingatestone  Essex from 1995 to 1997, then Brentwood Essex from 1999 to 2003, then Burnham on Crouch  Essex 2004 to 2008, then Slough 2009 and finally to Scotland from 2010.

Chris - motor is looking pretty good… scrubs up well  

Like the addition of the 'sportline' baseball hat on the dash  :wink:

Its interesting to look back at 20 years of motoring through the service history…

Thought you would like the cap  :mrgreen:

Looking great as usual Chris.

You have done a cracking job on the engine bay.

After coming to a mutual agreement to cancel  the deal on the white BBS ra's a few weeks back, I  changed my mind and have re-bought them and hopefully they arrive by courier today  :mrgreen:

They will not look as good as the originals but they will be good for a change and also for spares  :wink:

I bought a set of mudflaps but on first inspection during the week, dont think they are going to fit properly    but they were only a tenner posted   and I will try them properly when the wheels are off while changing them for the white ones.

If the wheels arrive today I might put them on after my work and take some pics  :dontknow:

Working Saturday and Sunday will pay for the wheels as well - so delighted  :mrgreen:

Hi all, finally got my refurbed white BBS ra's and quickly put them on, unfortunately one has been chipped in transit and 1 of the tyres is leaking around the rim which I need to look into    :dontknow:

Some pics anyway, they certainly are different from the standard black wheels and I got the idea from StuFindlay who has the same car on the forum and when these wheels came up I thought they would be good for a change, hope you like them.










Cheers Chris

Looking good Chris.

I would run them as winter wheels and put the originals back on next summer.

Thats the idea, look after the original ones and scrub them up and polish them inside and out.

The leaking tyre is a strange one though, do you know what I need to do, do I just over inflate it to try and get a better seal ??

Could be leaking if the wheel is buckled.

Im no expert when it comes to that.

Going to a tyre place would be the best option.

Yes, Paul C said the same so I will take it and get it re sealed at the weekend hopefully  

If that doesnt work the wheel looks straight so might have to think about new tyre, hopefully not though  

New bonnet catch and latch fitted
