Sandips (strange) build thread

Not updated for a while so I thought I'd post up some pictures of what's happening to the S32. Bonnet had faded badly and has needed a respray for a while and the front arches have started to show sign of rust Just not had the time this last few years to do anything!

Had enough of it looking so rough, got into the bodyshop last Friday, picking it up later but here are some pictures of the last few days of work.

I've been in two minds whether to sell and maybe get a B5 S4 but the 3.2 has been so good to me, next on the list is the haldex service, 170k and it's NEVER had a service!
 
Thanks @S3 Hilife , yes mate, had to get the front end done. I couldn't turn up at a show with my car the way it was :sadlike:

BTW if anybody wants to join the 8L S3 stand at this years Dub Fiction show on the 9th July in Buxton, please let me know

Picked the car up, very happy with the work! Work was done by GeeMotor BodyShop in Bolton

Always nice to see this car still about Sandip, it's been a while since I've had an 8L S3 get together with the forum members... oh how I miss them days!
 
Nice to see you’ve still got it mate and running! I remember reading your thread 3-4 years ago. Beautiful build, very envious!

I thought I recognised the background from your body shop. Awesome, glad to see there’s a s3 in Bolton. Will give you a shout next time I’m up. Lol.

I've always preferred the look of the pre facelift lights and even though I don't really use the headlight washers the jets seem to be more suited for the pre facelifts, plus I've put up with them light brows for long enough

Yeah mate, give me a shout next time you're up, I don't live in Bolton anymore but I work there :thumbs up:

Sounds great ;)

I'd have to go through the thread to see what you've done! Still in the middle of moving/unpacking blah blah lol

Love some good Noggie porn
