So after 6 months and...
Repaint
Cambelt/water pump
Alternator
Service (inc haldex)
New brakes
Suspensión (monroe + apex)
Tyres (Goodyear E)
How much do you think I should advertise this.. 1 owner main dealer serviced S3. Even has the original plates.
1 new door blade and windscreen trim...
Any idea what a 2001/2 s3 8l 140k full dealer history, 1 owner, new paint job, powder coated wheels, cambelt/water pump, retrimmed door panels, new suspension, tyres and front brakes...is worth?

I was tempted to have a go, then I remembered I’ve done about 300 jobs on the trimmers car...so...they are getting dumped on him. Pretty straightforward apparently.

Questions...
So, suspension, both front and rear are looking/feeling very tired. Rear spring cracked, front and rear shocks rotten.
I’ve been looking at replacement..ideally I would like to go standard/original however they are conning in at £300+. Coil overs (which I hate) are coming in a lot...
Painted, flatted and polished. New window reg, cambelt, water pump. Next trimmer to do the hideous hanging off trim on the door panels, suspension, paint the wheels. Perfect timing seeing as I have looooads off time for once [emoji3].

No the current engine is fine. I work as a painter/panelbeater and the numerous times TT’s Golfs etc have come in as total loss right offs and I can take what I like from them.
Next one, I’ll whip the engine out and rebuild at my leisure as the current has 145 and probably hasn’t been rebuilt...
Home.
Any idea what/which engine is best for replacement? I have access to AGU,BAM,AJQ,AUM and some other I can’t remember.

Ahhhh got ya. Cambelt was replaced at 78 (now at 140k).
Going to change belt, pump etc next week at some point hopefully.
I’m a panel beater/painter, I’ll leave the body until the greasy stuff is done.
Thanks for all your help
(Not closure, I’ll be pestering along the way).
