Long story short, I'm getting married in 6 weeks and emigrating to the US in November. I've thought a lot about storing the car and taking it with me once it reaches 25, but realistically and financially this won't happen. Gutted to be selling.
Emerald green
About 144k miles. Clocks show about 85k as they were swapped for a mint cluster (no peeling)
Bad parts in complete honesty -
As it stands: Car currently sits with no radiator and no PCV system. The day before its MOT I noticed a loose PCV hose in the engine bay and it had just disintegrated at the T-piece at the rear of the motor. The rest was no better and the valves were clogged with sludge so the whole lot was removed and a Roose silicone kit and OE valves bought to fit. These have not been fitted. Radiator was a cheap pattern part so a brand new Hella/Behr unit was purchased. This has not been fitted.
Both the hoses and rad are NOT included in the price but we can work something out (hoses and valves were circa £150, as was radiator). Old rad is water tight and will be included in the sale.
Bodywork is poor. The rear of the car is very good, but -
The drivers door lower rubber trim is curling and will need replaced.
There's rust along the top of the windscreen (which itself is cracked where the tax disc would sit) which is likely resulting in water ingress.
There's a deep gouge to the bonnet which has been touched up. It's bad and will need resprayed.
Both front wings are rusted where they join the bumper.
Headlining is sagging at the rear.
Water ingress into drivers footwell. It's a coupe so it could (and likely is) from numerous places, probably the top of the windscreen and the fusebox seal.
Good points -
A lot of you will have followed my thread and a lot of what has been done can be found here - http://www.s2forum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=58200 - as you can see. It's received everything it's needed, always quality parts, and I've amassed a full folder of receipts since buying it two years ago.
Car runs, idles and drives absolutely spot on
New dealer plates front and back
Chassis fuel lines and new fuel filter last year
2 x new handbrake cables and at least one rear caliper (possible 2, I can't recall tbh)
Bosch S5 battery still in warranty
Roose silicone water hoses
Roose silicone boost hoses
Aux rad and air con removed (could be good or bad, I suppose)
New genuine dizzy cap, N75 valve, blow off valve, MTFS, lambda.
Magnecor lead set 2 years ago and NGK plugs this year
New ISCV
Full genuine timing belt kit and water pump fitted within last 5k miles. Done by Audi mechanic with correct locking tool and torqued to spec (see thread)
Ellipsoid headlights and Osram nighbreaker plus bulbs
Stainless exhaust from cats back. Stainless decats currently fitted and genuine cats will come with car.
Replacement Sony speakers all round in OE positions (I.E. can't be seen). Headunit is a Pioneer USB MVH-150UI which will come with the car
17" Avus alloys with VGC Avon tyres. At least 6mm all round
Powdercoated strut brace
Powdercoated H&R -40mm springs all round
Koni adjustable rear shocks (have done less than 2k)
Brand new genuine front shocks (have done less than 2k)
Front forged wishbones with genuine bushes & Lemforder joints (have done less than 2k)
Brand new rear wishbones with Lemforder ball joints (one has yet to be fitted and will come with the car)
New ARB links all round
New top mounts all round
4-wheel alignment 500 miles ago
ABY air box and new K&N
New front Bambridge inner steering arm bushes and new Lemforder outer ball joints
New damper (currently held by tie wraps at the chassis side due to having hands too big to fit the bolt - should be addressed by buyer before driving. Bolt included with car)
Full leather interior in what I would describe as fantastic condition (passenger door card is still cloth, leather one included with sale).
There's A LOT more I've forgotten and a lot of spares will likely come with the car.
As it stands, trailer away - £2800.
With new rad and silicone PCV hoses supplied but not fitted £3k
As above but fitted £3200
I appreciate that's a lot to take in (and a lot has been missed out), so feel free to PM me to strike a deal
Car is in the **** end of nowhere, Kintore, Aberdeenshire. I'm happy to take photos of anything that serious buyers want to see.
Yours,
A very sad Sidrick.
