Update

Today started to put interior back together, still need to put on the last trim piece on the end of the roof and to re-trim plastic on the boot.

Slingshot handles needs to be colored dark aswell. Do it, otherwise it looks bad. Great job.

It has been a while, but there is some new stuff done

Got these out from B4 avant


Wires were tricky to get but it went well


Last picture with old heater controls


Day passed fast


Then was time to make hole in firewall for conditioners radiator pipes


With this tool it is not hard at all


And everything was put back together again but with new parts

Hi there!

Some time has passed and some things have changed on the car too

Finished making place for number plate, and repainted the bumper


Painted sideskirts, before they were black


Installed new shock absorbers in the back


Changed the brake lines


5 years ago when I got the car I did that once, and now time had come to change water pump and timing belt again.


Re trimmed my poor looking doorcards



Modernised central locking with installing pump from B5 and now I have one key instead of two (before I had one for doors and another one for the ignition)


One day neighbour who has S4 B5 thought I should upgrade the wheels on my car on something bigger than my white R15's, so he took his winter wheels to see how something bigger would look like


After that decision was made that I need bigger wheels, but there was not much nice wheels available with 4x108 hole pattern at the time, so I went to some car graveyards to get some parts for 5x112 conversion...


Got some wheels that I liked


I Changed the front wishbones because old ones were in bad condition and the bushings in the old ones didn't hold well and mowed about a little bit


Polished lips on my new wheels because they were little bit damaged


Then I put all the things needed for 5x112 wheels and test fitted neighbour's wheels


Finally got my boleros on the car


And visited local tourist attraction spot

Nice progress. Wheels look good too
