That's great news. Looking forward to seeing its progress.
Onwards and upwards.
Hi,
I have now found the replacement wheels for those horrid 18" GTI wheels.
I found a set of Avus wheels on eBay (the same ones as on our Daughter's black A2 in the avatar !!)
They fill the arches nicely and (to me) look VERY nice and they are genuine Audi wheels after all?
Will refurb them and fit new tyres, but I have to be careful I don't make the car too expensive to sell, for a 2001 1.4
But I do want it to be a nice one.
The plan is to have the spec as follows
OSS (Already of course)
Double DIN (Already Symphony II)
DIS (to be fitted)
Cruise (to be fitted)
Leather (refurbed)
New Cambelt kit (complete)
Serviced
Audi AVUS 17" wheels and tyres.
Before anyone points out that there is no point in adding spec such as the Cruise and DIS, if I am about to sell, I realise this and you would be right.
BUT I have been able to source everything for cruise and DIS (including the instrument cluster, Stalks (cruise and DIS) and looms (£70)) for a total of £120,
I want to use this as a test for when I do my other "keeper" A2, so this will be a useful trial.
The aim is to keep the sale price below £2,500 (possibly as low as £2,200 if I can keep the costs down) remember that I am not trying to profit from this (or LOSE money this time)
But only time will tell and it will be fun doing it!
