My Ocianic Blue Ur restoration

[Tractor Dave]

Yes, he spent some time with me fitting my light reflectors and gave me some fittings for free. It's not his hobby, he makes a living from it.

yeah buying stuff from enthusiasts and cleaning it up then sticking it on ebay the next day at a massive profit. I won't deal with him again!

Not the only person to have this happen to them in the past.

I have only ever had good trades with him bud, he even spent 2 hrs of his time helping me install a sunroof I bought from him, but as the saying goes you can't please all the people all the time

You're so correct, he pestered me for my 90 20v cast wishbones pleading poverty about 4 years ago as his cousin had bent one of his. I sold them cheap to him only see them back on ebay a week later all nicely painted for a lot more money!!

I sold him an 20v radiator cheap but he bought it back saying it had a hole in it. It may well have done, i'll never know, but i payed him his money back and gave him £5 petrol to cover his 16 mile journey to mine and back.

David you need to be careful of this rogue that everyone seams to think is such a nice chap. I used to think that until i got sucked in and got burnt.

I've already been burned by him in the past, gave him a great deal on something and found it all on ebay afterwards. Won't ever deal with him or talk with him again.

I did hear that but I would have to get them blasted and coated which would add to the expense and the bushes wouldn't like it. For what I want, they will be fine.

The e-coat on those new arms is really piss thin and will rust in seconds when in use, it’s really just a holding cost to stop them corroding on shelf. I’d strip them and do as Newsh suggested. They are a good deal stiffer after stitch welding, you can coat properly in epoxy afterwards

I've hit my monthly limit for photo uploads. There is a pic on the Classic Audi site. The rubber pipe holders that the fuel lines sit in under the car. They were in a very poor condition. The stainless clips are good.

Ah I know what you mean

Supposed to strengthen them

[Rikki Kitto]

I wasn't planning on doing that. These are the heavy duty ones and they are much more substantial than the rusty ones that were on the car.

Koni settings
Assuming they’re the ones you have to set before you put them on the car, and you adjust by pushing the rod all the way downwind turning it.. ( very annoying, it used to be possible to buy “top adjustable“ versions)

On the S2 this works quite well.
Front - 1 turn clockwise from full soft
Rear - half a turn clockwise from full soft

Ok, cheers. They haven't arrived yet.
