Hello to everyone.

I recently acquired an early S3 LWB which ive steadily started restoring.

Its a 2.25 diesel with a turbo conversion. Not had it running yet but hope to soon. Not that it will last long with all that pressure!

Hopefully i wont ask too many stupid questions!

Definitely got something to keep you busy fer a bit

Series 3 should be K reg or later

rockandrollstar · Apr 11, 2012

Only a couple of years out then. I imagine it must be a jumble sale of parts. Most of the panels are different colours under the white but as its registered as green thats the colour ive chosen. The bulkhead was originally green under all the paint.

Lovin the pics, keep them comin, pure landy porn.

rockandrollstar · Apr 15, 2012

Some of my weekend progress!

Even managed to get some welding done to the chassis in between the drizzle!

On the downside, tried to start the engine only to find a broken lift pump

rockandrollstar · Apr 16, 2012

Fitted the new lift pump today, bled the system and it fired up pretty easily. Not bad for 10 years in a
field !!! The turbo spins up nicely too! Time to attach the bulkhead soon.

feck me and i thought i was quick with the bulkhead or is it a newer betterer bulkhead you bought

if not how the frigginell did you do those vents so neat

rockandrollstar · Apr 18, 2012

No your fabrication is far better than mine! Youve got a lathe ffs!!
I cheated and got a bulkhead off a mate. Its a newer s3 one(metric not imperial) but only needed the lowe footwells and one mount replaced. Quite pleased with how it turned out.

hee hee even i didnt think i had it in me to battle it out with my original bulkhead im now at the moment on me brothers list of things to do when he gets a new car

hes a fully trained qualified and time served brake and hydraulic specialist if anyone can get me clutch hydraulics and brakes working to their full potential that lad can

its not that i cant do it i just rather have him check the buggers through while im there incase theres anything i might have missed plus he loves working on old motors just cant be arsed getting his own
