    cheap as chips track slag

    Right guys,i'm just testing the water here really...
    long story short my works van died...so ive had to put the s2 on the road for the time being,but its proving just too much to run..and this is after only a couple of weeks
    so the options are sell it or break it...and i really don't want to do the latter tbh...

    Right..the car:
    93' aby coupe in dark blue
    151k on the shell...but shes solid
    Its had a replacement engine with around 120k on it...although i cant prove the mileage
    bodywork is tatty...the front bumper and boot are still in primer,theres a scrape on the passenger side door wich runs into the wing,also a dent in the rear quarter.
    The driverside rear arch has started to bubble,theres also a few other scrapes and scratches,tbh it's not bothered me...the intention was always going to be to use the car on track so cosmetics fell low on the priority list.
    12 months mot,6 months road tax
    flew through the mot,the only advisory being the exhaust is quite loud
    Heres a random list of what its got:
    stripped out
    2 corbeau boss bucket seats
    omp replica steering wheel
    plasma dials
    17" o.z alloy wheels powdercoated black,with 2 p zeros,and 2 proxes...all with very little wear
    lowered
    044 fuel pump
    440cc injectors
    k26/27 hybrid turbo
    large intercooler
    forge dual port bov
    roose maf+tb hoses
    3" turbo back exhaust,200 cell cat,single box,side exit.
    Rs2 em (not in the best condition though)
    ecu chipped...this setup should make near enough 400hp
    sm 7a flywheel...freshly skimmed
    southbend clutch
    poly bushed suspention arms and diff mount
    whiteline rarb
    Theres also some service history,receipt and old mot certificates.

    ill add more as i remember..and get some pics up!
    Basically...its not finished although its fully useable,theres a few niggles to sort out,
    the brakes NEED upgrading!...and better suspention won't go a miss,the mfts also needs replacing.
    But its all there...and a very good basis for an easy project.

    Taking all that into account ill happily take £3000 ovno
    Theres that in bolt on parts...i guess the car is a bonus
    Im looking for a decent diesel car,ideally an estate...so theres an option of a p/x
    Ill update again soon...

        Is it fitted with 3b headlights?

        Good luck with the sale, this could make a beast of a track car i think. At the price one can afford to strip it out and throw a few more £ at it and it would be ace!

          I'm not sure tbh...i always thought the early abys had those type of headlights

          Cheers mate
          yeah...its a shame,theres so little left to do to get it on track,literally another £1000 spent on it for brakes and suspension it would be something else...it goes like the bloody clappers as it is!

            linky to my wee project thread...


            Theres one other thing that needs looking at...
            the car smokes on startup,until it gets warm,the turbo was recently rebuilt and is absolutely fine,im going to check the oil return line as ive read this could be the issue,if not it will most likely need stem seals.

              Sorry to see you having to sell. This a mega bargin for someone, if I had the cash knocking about it would be on my drive.

              Just a though but would you be interested in swapping for a LWB T4 2.4D? It's pretty tidy with 10 months MOT, on @ 160K miles and just had both belts done with genuine VAG parts and a full service. Drop me a PM if you want more details.
              1990 B3 2.0 80 quattro.
              1992 C4 2.8 Avant quattro
              1994 MTM RS2.
              1998 B5 TDI quattro Sport.
              2000 B5 TQS.

                    a couple more random pics...



                    And a bit more detail on the body work...as i've mentioned theres quite a few sratches in the paint,the tailgate and bumper are in black primer,theres a scrape/dent in the passenger door which carries through into the wing,and the door edges have chips along them,theres the usual issue with the bottom door strips on both sides...theyve not parted company completely but theyre starting to go.
                    The front and rear bumpers need tweaking to sit as they should,theres a bird crap mark on the passenger side front wing,a scuff on the rear bumper and the driver side rear quarter has been repaired at some point as the paint has flaked slightly under the window rubber...as i said,generally tatty,but in the right hands could be easily sorted.
                    A few pics of the most noticeable bits...
                    Scrape on the door...

                    Scuff on the bumper...

                    Bubbling on rear arch...

                    Flaking paint under window rubber...
