Ah, my madness!
Last year I decided, having had a damned good look at the structure of the car, that she was worth investing some effort in.

Like a lot of V8s, it was neglected at some point, or at least forgotten for a while, before passing through some questionable hands, then one other audi nut a while back, before I finally bought it.
The car is solid underneath. Undoing nuts and bolts on 20+ year old cars usually results in pain; but it was fairly straightforward. The transmission works nicely now, after a complete flush. The engine got replaced cheaply, but there are plans afoot for later.

Electrically, there's a couple of minor gremlins to chase down, but the essentials work.

I installed ur-S6 HP2 Struts and brakes, and S6 rims. Courtesy of Gas-Axe-Simmo. (much better than the UFOs)
The cats are a little more free flow than standard. ahem....sounds nice
The interior needs a little work, still. Namely, getting the carpets out, and a damned good clean. The leather will get some nourishment sometime.

But, she's looking respectable now.
coming together




Nearly complete. Some minor snagging to resolve








Many thanks to the fella on here whose car was an inspiration for mine.

Wow, that's a nice car! Looks really good, will you provide some interior pics also (maybe after work is done)?

Ever thought of installing some 17" Bolero rims?

I wanted to go onto the BBS rims. I have a couple of sets, with one set refurbished. There has been a long delay getting to this stage, and I was a little concerned that it may fall further behind. Anyway, this has meant a delay with several other things, too, and some unexpected extra cost.

Next plan, then is getting the interior up to scratch. Again, because of the overrun at the paintshop, I have lost a lot of my free time.

Boleros would be nice, but I would have to decide what to do with the other wheels that I have.
2 sets BBS 16 inch
1 set A8 5 spoke 17inch
1 set of something else-

Finally, on refurbed BBSs, and aligned. Still an ongoing project, but clean and tidy now.





Need to refit the boot rings, which are still in the box of bits that were returned. Any suggestions on what tape to use?

Another couple of irritations with the finished car.

Front door check straps. The 7mm knurled rivets (both sides) have been replaced with 6mm bolts, and obviously do not do the job so well.

Headlight trims for the front wings. These were almost completely rotted away. But the clips holding them on have not been saved, and are NLA at the dealership, with no alternative offered.

So, I need both of these items
