1 Avant Shell, 2 possible uses.....

[Nuvo]

Gary, I'd recommend you speak to your local GP about the possibility of being sectioned.
Just be aware that you might need to forgo your internet access when they place you in a padded cell. However, they will provide you with as many toffee lollipops as you need to help you pass the time so its not all bad news.

Here you go to complete your hair brained project



I've seen better peoples projects fall by the wayside ( timucin for example ).

I'll be a grandad before this project hits the road. Project Madwolf forever

you don't have any of the parts you need for the avant on the 10v Gary - you do relise that the 90 is a B3 and avant is a B4? :Scratch: why not sell the 10v complete and just buy an engine for the avant?

[K Simmonds]

WOW, this has got to be some sort of wind up. Is there something funny in your water?????????

That's not a bad idea, you could sell the 90 and use the funds to buy a tatty A6/100 2.5tdi to use for the conversion. The Diesel motor would be better suited to the Avants heavy shell than a 2.3 10 V petrol motor, and would be relativity economical to run.

Just remember to brace the doors before you take the dremmel to the roof.

Please dont tell me you paid 450 for that shell?
Set fire to it (one less avant on the road, always a good thing)

Who's shell ?

If you mean mine and your implying its over priced then once again you really should open your eyes a little to what things are worth in the real world.

If I had a tidy avant I'd just wrapped round a lampost I'd rip someones hand off for a shell as good as that for under £500.

I'd rather see a shell re used for what it was originally intended for but in the same way I'd rather see it being used for anything other than scrap value so I'll be pleased its going to see the road again... one day.

SWB gets my vote, we had a measure up and it would be a interesting VERY time consuming job but its possible, I'm not sure I'd personally have the patience but if I could afford to do it as well as everything else I get upto then I'm possibly mad enough to give it a go, bit late for that now though

[Jamo]

I've changed my tune, lets encourage him to do it!!!!!! the carnage will be fun and all cars will end up being used in the uk scrapheap scheme for madwolf to get a new Kia Ceed

HAte to tell you this ..but this shell will never see the road apart from getting uplifted to the scrapyard in the back of a lorry ...

And Peter!...by the looks of it big things are expected of you with all your spare time you seem to have gained ...

On serious note here ..I was wandereding if the MODS could password all project threads that this guy starts as people looking from the outside in would start to think we are all numbtys that own S2's

You seem to be forgetting one vital ingredient. SKILLS! Madwolf has none. He can't even get a slightly poorly S2 back on the road with 12 months to do it in....

I know of a completely bare S2 avant shell in your favourite bright red colour complete with log book you can chop up with a junior hacksaw or dremel (if `they` let you have electric or sharp things) pm me if you want details Mad dog.

I do think your a bit mad but instead of canabalising the 90 for useless parts there is a kv 10v engine on audifans for £25. The guy (who i have delt with before) says its a good engine but just needs rid. Its in york.

Don't be stupid. That would be too easy, besides, it would leave Madwolf with a working car. He would rather have three in bits!

No offence Gary - I do admire your enthusiasm here - but you have no idea what you are getting into here. It needs one of two things - lots of skill or lots of money... or both in most cases.

I genuinely think you should set your sights lower on something much less complex and use that as the basis of moving up the scale on project ideas. If you don't do that then all you are going to do is continually get slagged off / joked about in public and nobody will take you seriously.

a short avant will look like a ford prefect van..
