Well, due to the arrival of my son the .:R32 has gone. Not enough doors and to much of a ballache to put a baby seat in.
So back in December i picked a new 'Dad' project with enough doors. I'd been looking at B7 S4s but struggled to find a decent manual one and i had a Turbo itch that needed scratching.![Big Grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
I came across a B7 A4 DTM in Imola Yellow, it was a non runner and perfect for a few upgrades. A deal was done and i borrowed a recovery trailer from work and made the journey to Chorley (Preston) to pick it up. The car is very straight and in great condition, it just needs some TLC and a full detail to sort out the paint.
Anyways, i though it was about ****** time i started a build thread so here's a boat load of pics of the DTM looking sorry for itself.
