    Good for you Ian, I'm looking to get mine back on the road for a wee winter road trip towards the year end.

    It's amazing how good yours look even when dirty!

    I've had my car out a few times but only on the dryer days. You don't see these cars on the road these days. I've never seen any Audi 80 on the road for many months. Even the B5's are getting scarce these days

    Life has been manic lately and I’ve had very little or no forum time. The S2’s been brilliant with the new suspension set up, and we’ve been putting some mileage on it. It has got filthy mind, as you can see.

    Bet you can't wait to put some miles on it
    Do the rear shock towers rust on these avants, similar to the b5?

    Pure porn, if you give it a misting with acf50 it will last like that for ages.

    Can you tell us what that refresh cost in parts or is it
    Hi Sal, for you bud, absolutely. But can I do it when a) I’ve got the final invoices and b) when the missus is not looking….

    More coinage, and goodness….

    Subframe, front.


    Lightened flywheel.


    John (Newsh) clutch


    Wishbone


    Coil over

    It’s come together really quickly, probably because it’s all new.
