I hope so! I'll be concentrating on the bodywork for now and in the mean time start looking into the suspension ect. I'm hoping to renew a few bits like drop links and various bushes and stuff to get a perfect handling setup.

I think she'll be out and about around august? :D

Small update, picked these up earlier for a price I couldn't refuse. Not a mark on them!

Think I may do that Andy, I've got them on now anyway to see how they look and they're not bad... But think I prefer a set of smoked standards!


A bit of progress so far. Seems it was a nice day I thought I'd get her out the garage. She was full of dust and looking unloved so got her out fitted the standard rears and gave her a quick wash.

Stripped the back out the other day too, cleaned it all up and stuck the carpets back in. I plan on putting a false floor down to make it look nice & tidy! Image

And a cheeky pic of how she stands now I've called it a day

Getting there!

How do you get your boot to spring open far enough to clear the latch?

I have a popper connected to the rear wiper stalk, it pops open and sits on the latch. Bit of a pain pulling it open if you have fat fingers getting them between the boot & bumper I suppose but I don't so it's fine lol

I've just found out they're called Ronal R8's and pretty rare off some oldskool audi! I think I'll be keeping them, refurbing and maybe a lower profile tyre after lowering!
