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...

Bunson, when you say you’ve got a problem with your compressor, what exactly do you mean?

Hi XPtuning! Thanks for your comments. Any plans to modify your Exeo ST? As for my headlamps and tails, they’re part of my build, so they won’t be for sale!

Hi Sandspeed, I have 2 body shops in mind. One in Charlton, South East London, and the other in Hartlepool. Leaning more towards the one in Charlton, as the shop in Hartlepool is pretty slow to respond to phone calls, which is not good. With the 4.0 V8 BiTurbo engines, all I’ve done is...

3 months, and £1200 / $1568 later, I have these: I wasn’t aware they were double-skinned, believe it or not, between building the jig, getting stainless steel tubing with the correct angles, and getting the lot welded up, there’s 25 hours invested in these. I’m deciding whether to get them...

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...

First question: Are your tyres all the same size? I would also be looking at your rear differential. Make sure the ratio matches the front one. I had a 2003 1.8T Avant Quattro SE that had a similar problem. It turned out the gearbox had been replaced by the previous owner. Checking, I...

Very old post, though I’ll post this: “The 11.3mm spacer is NOT required to fit the gearbox to the 2.7T motor. It’s not an adapter plate. It’s merely required to provide clearance between the clutch pressure plate and transmission / clutch housing, if the flywheel and clutch stack height...

Thanks buddy.

Rob, I totally understand. But I do want to get the bodywork side completed first. I also have to put paying clients first. I have 3 V8 conversions going at the moment, and none of them are mine.

I was looking into a 2-tone dash, using B6/7 Convertible parts. I had some work done back in 2015 on a B4 Convertible. Replacement rear screen, and the trimmer came up trumps. He works on high-end cars like Bentleys, Rollers, Aston Martin etc. He actually trims for dealerships. Besides...
