So i figured i'd best make a project for me car. It will be slow going as its a budget project but someone may get a read out of it.
Pictures from ebay that i bought it from.
As i like to do silly things i bought it on impulse, in the dark on a garage fore court, breaking every rule imaginable, but THATS THE WAY I ROLL!
It a 1.8T (AGU) sport and i paid £1050 with 12mths and 4mths tax.
Whats right with it compared to other ones i saw?
imo the colour!
has DIS
has new cambelt and waterpump
s/s exhaust
factory bodykit
its an audi! not a very long list!!
So i guess i have two lists, stuff i have to do and stuff i want to do.
Jobs i have to do:- full service, all filters, plugs, oil, coolant etc
heater blower not working and guess the aircon will need re-gas at best
no reverse light
rear washer not working
new thermostat as not getting up to temp
pressure test boost pipes as suspect many leaks
steering rack mounts need replacing
airbag warning light(found damaged plug now so just need to fix)
Fit headunit!
Jobs i'd like to do:-
debaged rear (done)
black out grill
boost gauge in drivers side air vent
smooth front bumper top and bottom and fit cupra splitter, rear bumper resprayed (will do myself when weather is better)
repair both wing mirrors and paint gloss black (just bought one, so in post)
gloss black roof
Just bought mint sport interior (seats and doorcards) and all bits of trim i am missing (ashtrays, glovebox, vents etc etc), off ebay so full new interior soon. I think a dog lived in it as doorcards have been chewed!
New floor mats in the post too
long term plan
coilovers as low as i can! - but probably last on list due to cost.
