Then there are horse boxes..... Someone got pulled here leaving an event, and fined for not having a tacho in use.... They argued that it was their horse etc going to shows, but then Vosa pointed out they had won 'a prize' and therefore had been 'rewarded' . This is what we who drive commercially have to put up with. I would definitely challenge that asap, Vosa cant fine fine you for wining a prize.

I like that, had a 1.3gt as my first car. Always though about a rear wheel drive setup with an audi engine...

So the old shell went of to the scrapyard, which gave me some room to work with The e30 was reversed into the shed for the silliness to start, poor little car didn't know what was coming... The front end was striped down, bonnet and bumpers removed The old m20 engine getting ready to come out. And out she comes... That's better Old airbox brackets, and brake servo removed. This is a must as the servo is always in the way when dropping a larger engine into an e30.

I would have been tempted to keep both. That wagon would have been fun, and the red 3 series looked like it was worth keeping the way it was. The wagon was fun to hoon around in, but a combination of rust, abuse, and a slipping clutch sealed it's fate. It was always bought with a veiw to being a donnor car though. Now the red car did have me wondering if we were doing the right thing, it was such a clean original car I did think of just sorting out the stupidly low suspension and rims, and keeping it. ( not that I don't love lowness, but this just drove like sh!t ) But it took alot of searching to find a rust free car, and the little 2 liter engine was never going to cut it in the long run.

Thanks guys. So it was time to gut the 540i of everything usable for the project, and sell off everything we didn't need. First up was the engine and box, it dos'nt look that big when it's still in the 540i But when it's out you see just how big the gearbox is. Left a big hole in here. The rear axle was next to come out, the engine crane made things easy here. Then the inside of the car was completely striped out. Gutted!

The merc 2.7 5 cyl engines are superb engines but the Cdi gubbins that goes with them is not the most robust. Do shift the truck along really well though with the vnt turbo on them. Would it not be sensible just to tune the 300 tdi motor? Use the 2.9, that has a normal injection pump. Can be chipped to 170hp too.

Hello, yes I am using Co2+Argon gas, I will remake the welding tomorrow. As I sad I didn't use mig-mag before....soo I will practice first on other metal... Please add a re-enforcing triangle above the spring mount also, if the welding on that mount breaks at speed it will be game over for you.

Hi all, up for sale is my 1998 audi s8 cruise missile. This is the d2 model with the 340hp v8 engine, quattro 4 wheel drive, and 5 speed triptronic autobox. Needless to say she goes like the clappers! Now my e30 v8 is finished I cant run 2 cars so she has to go. It's been modified slightly with ap racing coilovers on the front and adjustable spring platforms on the rear, dropped by around 40mm. She has 20" lenso "lmr" alloy wheels, and a custom rear exhaust section. Sounds like thunder in a canyon! Current mileage is 95953, but I am still driving it so may go up. She has a brand new 12 month mot, and road tax untill the end of july. All the original handbooks are here, with audi main dealer service stamps uptill last year. I have just had the cambelt, tensioners, and water pump replaced last month. Along with both rocker cover gaskets, and new brake pads front and rear. Tyres were new 6 months ago and have nearly no wear. This car is fully loaded, everything is electric! -Electrically adjustable, heated, memory front leather seats -Electrically adjustable, heated rear seats -Electrically adjustable steering column -Automatic climate control, air conditioning -Rear seat air conditioning -Front and rear air bags -Seatbelt pre-tensioners -Side impact protection bars -Solar sunroof -Electric rear screen sun blind -Rear seat sun blinds -Automatic dipping rear veiw mirror -Parking aids -Bulb failure warning system -Factory upgraded bose sound system -6 disc cd changer -Cassette player -HID headlight upgrade -Trip computer -Sat-nav system -GPS system -Cruise control -5 speed triptronic automatic gearbox -Quattro 4 wheel drive system -Electronic stability control system -Switchable traction control system I'm based in terrick, just outside of Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire.

Doing the same thing to one of mine today, took an epic amount of hammering to break the subframe loose from the mounts.
