Thought I'd better update this. Hate threads that go nowhere! Unfortunately the A3 was too badly damaged body wise to be worth repairing :( On a happier note the running gear was in very good shape & has found a new home here..... Audi's AGU fitted with Motronic 7.5 conversion :happy:

Before anyone says anything the cable tied reg plate & headlamp were temporary measures so I could drive the car the 10 miles from where I had it stored to my house..... :whistle2:

Also this week, this arrived :) So this evening I decided to trial fit it......

Finally got some work done to the car. First up a small but extremely annoying thing. When I got the car the key that came with it was smashed in bits After a bit of hunting on flea bay I came across a brand new key casing for the princely sum of £4 plus postage Rather than find someone...

Top work. Nice to see her back in one piece. Tasty spray job too.

******! All those cars are like hen's teeth in Irish scrapyards. Cost of insurance over here is that extortionate that few people could afford to run them! Might have to broaden my search to your side of the Irish sea.

It's taken me nearly a week to get through this epic build, what a story. My hat is off to you sir :) This thread has given me so much inspiration for my own car it's hard to know where to start....so many questions!! You might be able to help me with this one.....Are all the TT front suspension...

It is a pity about the front bumper, skirts & rear are nice & subtle but the front looks like it belongs on a ricer! Wouldn't mind a s3 bumper & mold those side grills into it. I have the broken piece from the front with the side grills intact.

Thanks for taking the time to look though. Ok folks, I'm looking for opinions, should I source another Zender bumper & keep the kit complete or bring it back to standard or S3 front? Here's the bumper not mangled.....

Would be nice if it was an ex member car. was looking through the pic thread but gave up after 6 or 7 pages!

I'm using Prawn's track monster as inspiration for this. Have a complete TT subframe, hubs, brakes, wishbones, ARB & steering rack sorted although i'll be waiting a few weeks for it as it's a friend doing me a favour bringing it from the other end of the country. Engine wise I want to base it...

This car was imported from the UK at some stage. Was wondering does anyone on here recognize it or know any of the history of it. The bodykit & exhaust look to have been done to a high standard. Won't have the original uk reg until next week when I get the logbook back for it.

Got the car on a ramp at work this morning. Nothing nasty to report. This is starting to look like a proper steal :) Engine dry as a bone..... Exhaust is a custom Remus item & not some backyard bodge job Wanted to take a test run in the car but no intercooler... So found a piece...

Whole car cost me around £250. Was going to be scrapped but I got there first. Add to that the £80 or so it cost me to get it transported from the west of Ireland to Dublin & I think I've bagged something of a bargain :D

Not a fan of kits myself but I do like the rear with the twin pipes. Some trawling of the web later & I've identified the kit. it's a fiberglass copy of a Zender concept kit. I'm thinking a S3 front bumper might match pretty well with the rear. know very little about the car as it only arrived...

My bad <tuffty/>....... have figured out where I went wrong with the pics :thumbsup:

Hi all. My new project arrived today. Joined this forum so I could get some ideas for it & after getting halfway through Prawn's track car thread I think I know the direction it's going. It's a 1998 A3 1.8t with the AGU engine. Was bought cheap over the phone so the first time I saw it in the...

Love this thread. Hoping to put together something similar myself. One thing though, I can't seem to view any photos of the car either on my phone or laptop :(

Hi all. Loving this site. Already got some wallet bursting ideas for my salvaged A3 8L 1.8T. Originally bought it as a donor car for a 1.8T Polo conversion but I've decided to save the old girl & see how muich get up & go I can extract from the little AGU :)
