It’s certainly been a while since last posted here - 2 years+ Quite a few changes to the original project. The base car’s been in the body shop since 08th April, 2023! I’ve mostly posted on my FB page though.

It is. Though I tend to use social media platforms like Facebook more, so progress is posted in my groups there.

What model and year is your car: - Diesel or petrol? - Auto or manual? - FWD or quattro?

I’m currently looking for a workshop to rent. COVID-19 slowed lots of things down, including viewings.

Perfect sir! My number’s 07517074917. Feel free to text me address details.

Hi there! Thanks for responding. I won’t be back in Essex until my shift starts at 21:30 hrs. Those times from Tuesday to Friday will be fine, if it fits in with your schedule?

‘Morning guys! I’ve recently purchased a 2005 C5 Allroad, with the 2.5 V6 TDI (BAU) engine. It drives okay, but it’s got a lumpy idle. It’s like a regular misfire, and it increases with rpm. At idle, it’s enough to shake the car. I’m not sure if it’s a mechanical vibration, like a bad dual...

Cable shifting. I’ve built a cable shift setup for a FWD 01E, destined for a Fiat X19.

Another pick up today. My storage unit is gasping at the seams, I can’t wait to transport all the parts to the shop

Too slow. It’ll take ages to complete the trip, even if my car had a tow bar.

So... The time has finally arrived for my SEAT Exeo ST to leave home. I’m just trying to work out the logistics of getting all the B7 RS4 Avant parts down to the shop - all panels, front and rear bumpers, 4 genuine B7 RS4 19” wheels fitted with tyres, B7 A4 hood. I guess the logical solution...
