          Yep, they're the 4 X 108, ET 45, 7" X 15" type, their custom refurbed with stainless bolts and four very decent 205/50/15 tyres, drop me a PM if your interested mate. They can come with or without the rubber as I fit tyres. Also have a very tidy stock set of the other size, which I seem to recall are ET 37 and 7" X 15" they are in decent condition but not as flash as those. Both sets are straight and come with four decent centre caps. They were due to go on eBay soon as they're in the way.

          Well done on the not drinking! It takes some sticking with, though I'm hoping it'll get less of a draw with time.

            Yep, it a five door 1992 8V converted to full G60 spec using a German donner car, not cobbled together with UK Corrado parts. Only thing it doesn't have that proper one does is ABS.

            The Corrado G60 has a lot of potential, it's an LHD Dutch spec car, rust free, full black leather, 110K Kilometres. However I stuck it through a hedge so the front end is rough but only cosmetic, not recorded!

            I have a pair of complete good doors the same colour along with a pair of bumpers also the right colour, and an undamaged 90 mm splitter. And a lot of other spares.

            Drop me a PM if you want a chat about it mate as I'm at my folks.

                    Drink just made me worse, it increase my misery & depression, and to be honest If I had not stopped I don't think I wold be here right now.

                    That workshop is excellent, I would love something like that. Are you able to fit a lift of some sort in there, think that would just top it off.

                        That's what drink does to me mate, makes me even more depressed, but I simply wouldn't stop for days, sometimes weeks, then have to spend a week in bed in a ball. How my liver is as functional as it still is remarkable, though I was warned on my last excursion into A&E that I must stop now. Somewhat bizarrely despite my hedonistic tendency's I've always been heavily into strength exercise, healthy eating and hydration which must have at least helped, certainly can't have made matters worse!

                        The workshop is awesome, it was a lot of work but well worth it. It's tight but there is just enough room for a lift and that's the last job to be done before I start on my RS2 in earnest.

                          Will keep them by for you mate, those aren't actually in my way ATM, they're kind of advertised over on classicaudi but the site seems to be down, you have first shout anyway.

                          I'm going to whack the bling ones on eBay tomorrow, it's too late now, I have a couple of PM's to answer and I'm in a good mood which after using eBay will not be the case, that site winds me up every time I try and list something. I love buying things on there though.

                            My conservatory is now all but empty at bloody last, it's only taken my three years, however to be fair to myself I was totally useless for well over 24 months, then totally incapacitated while recoving from major surgery until very recently.

                            Goon news is my left arm has finally stopping constantly nagging me so I can now tackle heavy jobs with care. My right wrist, which was a disaster is healing perfectly even though the X-rays make me look like a cyborg, there's some serious metal work in there!

                            Now got a Mountain of boxes to sort through down in my workshop and my workbench looks like a war zone. Getting all this sorted is my job for the weekend. Also going to build up the custom coilovers in the pics as I've found four old but perfectly serviceable Sashs dampers.

                            As I still can't list parts for sale on here I've started a thread over on Classic Audi and will be adding pics as the day goes on. However if there's a part you require drop me PM and I'll forward photos if I can help.

                            However I now have a policy of only selling six items at the most a week that require postage, big stuff is going to be collection only!

                            Most B4 parts are going to be retained for my RS2 but I have tons of B3 and Coupe stuff I want shot of, also got quite a lot of C4 components.

                            May end up breaking my 1997 C4 30V quattro as it will provide a lifetime's supply of spares for my 2.8 100 Avant quattro, which I plan on keeping forever along with my RS2. Again feel free to drop me a PM if you can think of anything you require from it. The car, engine and drive train are excellent as is the interior. I'd love to fix it but simply don't have the time.

                            If someone what's to rescue the old girl I'd consider selling the whole car along with all the parts to fix it.

                            First mechanical job is sort out the front suspension on my 100 and get it from over the pit! Why are the front ends a complete batch to service on this platform? Nothing like a B3/4, still, I have all the parts to hand, just got to remember where I left off.

                              Hi Kit, hope all is well and I want to say your place looks like Audi heaven to me!

                              Have you got any R134a air-con compressors to suit AAN motor, RS2/S2 RHD headlights or a S2 front bumper?
                              If you do, it's probably all the things you won't Ship to NZ right?

                                Hi there, thanks for the good wishes, always much appreciated, I have to say everyone on here has been nothing but supportive and that means the world to me.

                                As for parts, your quite right in saying I'm not too keen on sending heavy/large stuff anywhere, especially abroad.

                                That said if your prepared to work with me and help arrange a courier I will send stuff to members anywhere in the world, this not a service I would offer to eBay buyers and Forum members automatically get stuff at discounted prices.

                                Though this will always be at the buyers risk. However I don't skimp on packaging as other members will attest to.

                                I don't have any Ellipsoid headlamps for sale, the ones I have are spares for my RS2 which I'm planning on keeping forever.

                                I do have an S2 front bumper which was cracked on one corner and repaired by me to a very high standard with fibre glass on the rear of the skin, this is almost certainly stronger than it was before and can't be seen once installed. All mounting points are good and I know it fits properly still as I drove around with it fitted for quite a while. How much this is going to cost to send to NZ is however another matter, once packaged it'll be huge!

                                Don't think I can help with air-con pump as I only have one spare one left and it's damaged, both ports are snapped off the back and it's missing it's clutch.

                                There is a good one on my C4 30V quattro which I know works properly still as when I got the car the system worked fine. Not sure if I want to break it yet however, though I suspect that'll happen as it makes the most sense financially and will give me a whole load of spares for my C4 100 Avant quattro.

                                If you drop me a PM I'll forward you photos of the bumper, it doesn't have any grills or lights however.

                                Cheers,

                                Kit.
