  • Longest time span from buying a part to fitting it

    Can't remember of hand how long but it's an awful lot longer than that.



    Edit still have a brand new 32/36 DGAV Webber carberetor that i fitted to my Mk5 2.0 ghia Cortina for 1 week and 300 miles to see if it made the car better on fuel. That was 1987.

              Crate CGR trans I bought in March 2011. Haven't installed because I was waiting to build an engine and turbo set up. Which has been waiting since May of last year for me to get installed lol. Always seems to be something getting in the way. Time. Money. Space. Motivation. Slowly but surely, I'll get this done.

                  Bought a wrecked 1992 S4 in 2005. The engine & trans for the Ersatz S2 project are still setting in the corner. But the rest of the conversion is done.

                      Does fluids count as parts?

                        We bought a pair of Audi AG new Ur wings in 1996, theyre still here, and as purchased... It's all about investing in the long term...
