Hi guys,
Been meaning to do this for a while but just not got round to it until now.
I believe this car has been around the forum a few times and I'm now pleased to say it's mine
After looking for a more family sized car in exchange for my Felicia pickup, me and Craig (craig1010cc) came to a deal. We met up at the infamous Area 52, had a cuppa and a chat and we both headed off. Was strange going from the Felicia to the Audi, especially with it being so low. Made the trip back to Birmingham in torrential with no issues.
First thing I did was sort out some locking wheel nuts for it. It's not the greatest area in the world I live in and a few months ago some theiving git tried to have Mrs MiniDans wheels off her Punto. Only thing that stopped them was the locking wheels bolts. and that's about all I've done so far
Got some jobs to do on it though. The paintwork isn't in the best condition, it's done the usual thing red cars do and fade. A friend of mine does detailing as a side job so when the weather is better the Audi will be going to her to get it sorted.
The electric window were playing up before I got it, I've had a quick look but got no further, so going to start by replacing the switches. While leaving my unit a few weeks ago I caught the exhaust on a raised manhole cover
Resaulted in a horrible blow coming from the front of the car. Drove for about 1/2 a mile like it to get home, came to an island braking and the exhaust when back to normal. It's been fine since. Going to take a look next weekend. The headlining needs regluing, but I'm on the look out for some tartan to match the pilars.
Last thing is the wheels. Going to give the wheels a coat of paint soon in gold. Going to wait till the summer and get some brand new wheels for it. Undecided yet though to what. Any suggestions?
Here's some pictures of it how it stands today.
