I saw you picking this up..........i turned up in a white sprinter when the recovery truck was loading it. Good luck with the project and keep the updates coming with pics.

[kingfishers2]

I was going to order the recaros last week and stumbled on these on ebay, as far as i can see from pictures of the MTM rsr these are the same seats which should give the car a nice genuine look. now ive got to find or build some subframes.

[kingfishers2]

I can remmember seeing a white van, that was my mates recovery truck cant believe its still going 275000 on the clock, very handy vehical though.

[kingfishers2]

Made a start today im striping down the car to have various bits welded and coated and removing the suspension legs for a coilover conversion, heres some pics of the break conversion without the wheels the fronts really are huge im hoping they dont bend anything...

[Fat Audi 80]

How are you doing the handbrake on the rear brakes?

Looks like a great project.

Cheers,

Steve.
