Cheers jv

Well where do I begin?

Iv owned loads of vw's, audi's in the past including a lot of classics, seein as my dad owns The Dead Dubs Workshop, a classic vw restoration company. Iv finally got around to doing a build thread on my latest project so here goes :smiley:

Bought the car about 2months ago and it was completely standard other than the r32 rims(not sure if they are genuine or reps?).

It's a 1.8t with around a 100k on the clock and generally tidy but got big plans for it  :smiley:

When I bought it.

Carbon wrapped the badges and the nasty wood effect trims inside  :smiley:

Fitted spax shocks and 85mm springs

Next up I fitted adjustable drop links due to the usual driveshaft/ arb issues :undecided:

New n75 valve as boost seemed a bit lumpy and a forge 007p recirc valve
(http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j247/woofa59/D631BC46-6814-41A3-9780-7AA649C8C264-4412-0000059B3415CA00.jpg)

Due to the drive shaft still rubbing the arb I ordered the white line arb with the larger hoops for clearance and I had this on my last A3 and really rated it and it arrived today   :laugh: so I will get this fitted ASAP.

Also invested in the remains of dazveedub's bolf the break for parts and keep the smoothed bora front end, g60/vr6 flywheel and clutch, poly bushed wishbones seeing as mine are nackered  :laugh:
