Rivage: Audi 3A conversion

awsome!

A few more recent pics of the engine bay.



Always nice to see the Le Castellets fitted

Removed the after market crystal lights and gone full circle back to new original stock lights (frontlamps on order). Also got the original 'Rivage' decal to stick on.

Very nice job and standard looking.

Can you tell me what you mean by this please - " oil cooler housing (DX one won't fit), "

cheers

ok, so the original oil cooler mounting bracket (just below and left of the distributer) doesnt fit on the 3A bottomend, so you'll need the 3A bracket.

Looks spot on :wink:

VERY NICE! looks great with the standard lights back on.  8)  

I need to detail my engine bay, how did you clean up the braided injector lines?

Hi, I just used some Autosol on a cloth and worked it in. Took a couple of hours to do all the lines, but got a pretty good result at the end.

looks lovely, plan to do the same conversion at some point in the future.

One lovely mk1 cab.

Absolutely perfect, I also have a cabby and was looking to do pretty much the same as you, my first point of call was the brakes, were the carriers easy to source ?

the audi carriers are out there if you look hard enough,…..audi breakers are a good bet. They do come up on ebay but they go for alot of $$$ because sellers know how badly mk1'ers want 'em.

Latest pics of the finished product. Its now up for sale!!!!!

Wow, how mint is that?

Cool car. Looks ace. Bet your chuffed to bits!  

Car looks awesome dude ! I want your grill sooo bad  :wink:

I just love this cab, if I didn't have mine, I would buy this straight away.

For me this is properly one of the best mk1 cabs.

Cheers you guys.

Si - thanks for all the support throughtout the years!!

looks sweet as hell hope i have one like this one day

Hi G-Ride - I know I'm a couple of years late but read about your Mk1 conversion with great interest and enjoyment as I'm thinking of buying one and it looks like a fabulous car.  I know its a slim chance but do you still have the converted car [ it was up for sale in the post ] and are you interested in selling it - if so please let me know and we can discuss .
thanks
