Star Silver 91 Gsi

The front end got new inner wings back in 2000. Think they were about 60 a side back then , should be pictures earlier in the thread

Now the S3, this was daily car for 14 years I bought it when it was only 3 years old and 30k miles it cost me 18k in 2004!

Now has 141k miles on it, still on the original clutch, original exhaust the engine has never needed any serious work other than a new oil pickup pipe and 1 coil

Sadly it needed new calipers all round it had a couple of snapped springs, the gearbox was getting iffy the rust was setting in so it was time to put it off the road.

It sat for just over three years untill yesterday

Started the strip down today, and god I though novas rusted!

[torquey]

Wow that's some bad rot!

I'm not clued up on 'modern' Audis, but I'm a bit surprised at the rusting.

Is there any demand/value in the trim/body parts that won't be utilised in the Nova?

This model is a year 2000, I already had to patch the sills etc, it wasn’t a help that for 5 years my works car park was full of gritters and salt. It killed my combo van with rust too.

usually the bumpers and trim are easy enough to sell on the rest will pretty much be used or cut up.

Ahhh, so now I see what is going on, I just thought you were scrapping them both from the Facebook posts, nice idea, should be an awesome project mate, no idea how you make the time though

i have the easy bit, stripping them and sending them over to someone else to do the fabrication

In for more on this one! Looking forward to seeing how you go about it.

How do the widths and wheelbases compare?

Thats all beyond me, im ok will simple repairs but this level of fabrication is out of my field, A lad I know up north will be doing the fabrication for me. Wheelbase is simple really just lop a bit out the middle and shorten the prop shaft. Width will be the S3 track width, I’ll be going wide arch, I always liked the wide arch look anyway.
