    My silver S3 from South Africa

    Hi Everyone, I only remembered about this Rides thread now. Sadly the S3 was sold on to a tuner as stated by JOSE, all parts were transferred to a 9N polo including rear diff and propshaft, suspension, motor, brakes etc. I have moved on to greener pastures, for some would not think so lol...

    Paul came through yesterday and we did some wrenching. All the small things took quite some time and the gearbox was a bitch to mount but we got it done. Motor will go in after Christmas.
