Project '96 Refurb

[Fat Audi 80]

They do light up, but most are broken!

don't think the clock does light up does it? I've never seen one lit up anyway

i swear my old one 80 did at one point! but annoying you can't see it at night

after getting the new rad installed and bled yesterday, i had a fun day of burning £20 worth of Shell's finest and loved every second! the noise just the best bit, even got a few nice bangs on shifts

Then spent the afternoon putting new bulbs in the instrument cluster and can see everything apart from the clock, so i take that as a win as non of my 90's audis ever had a visible clock haha

I've got a ctek, leave my coupe plugged into it all the time it's great

I can recommend this one:-

It's a 3a trickle charger / 20a fast charger as well as an 80a jump start facility. I got mine from Costco for about £40 Not the cheapest, but it's really well made so should alst a lifetime.

My recommendation is one of these, also from Costco

after the disappointment of the rad breaking, i decided to treat Roxy to some new instrument cluster blubs...only to find the battery has drained over the last 48hours...damn alarm! dont think it liked me leaving the bonnet open. Now I've got to go and buy a battery charger too!

Ive got to say, from the outside it doesn't look all that great, paint work is really letting her down. But underneath and inside she's got inner beauty haha

I'll try to clean her up today and get some proper pictures.

Good luck with the rebuild, its worth it!

Nice one Will, really good to see all your hard work has paid off.

Hey Will,

Please post some photos of Roxy... Need to see what I am aiming for...my girl is getting the full rebuild between Nov 2012 - March 2013.
Thanks
Sean

found out what the knock on the front left was...spring retaining nut was about 1/8 of a turn loose! I like it when it's a simple fix

also a small pain that i've lost the locking wheel nut tool haha good job i have the removal tools...5 seconds later they're off! pretty pointless things...

[willg54]

and some new wheels

Haha yes yes yes! As you can imagine, my budget for paint and wheels had vanished along time ago really. With the insurance a little more than I expect, I'm going to have to be patient (and you!)!

A trip to the ring and alps is priority before paint and wheels!

I'm pretty happy that I've met my phase 1 target of rebuilding it into a car that I can rely on...ie nothings leaking, all the bushes brakes etc are new and shouldn't be too much problem in the near future
