Hi guys, been lurking on here for a while with the odd post here and there but basically just dreaming and planning
I've already started a project thread over on audifans so gunna copy it over for now and add as I go, its gunna be an on the road project as much as possible so will see how it all pans out
So the story begins a few weeks back when I went with a mate on scrappy run for parts for his chavmobile. Now, as soon as we get there my beady eye spots a B3 coupe, so I make a beeline for instead of what we went for.
At first glance I don't really think much, bit tatty but a shame to scrap it, as I get closer I see a 3 spoke steering wheel and am suddenly a bit more interested and a quick glance at the bootlid reveals a 20v badge, now I'm really interested
A bit more of a nose around shows 111000 on the clock and an auto box
By this time it was time to grab the wheel cylinder we originally went for and off home to fit it, on the way out I ask the yard owner what the deal was with the coupe, tells me its for sale, runs but no test or tax, and that was that until a week later when an eBay search shows an auto 20v coupe for £1200
Bit steep I thought but could see a little money spinner coming on so a few inquires sees me heading up to the scrappers to pick up a 20v Coupe 
A few photos for Y'all below
Right now for the issues.
Power steering pump leaked, now fixed.
Water in the footwells, not yet sure where this is coming from will investigate further at the weekend.
Electrics don't turn off when the ignition turns off, as in turn the key off and its as if the ignition is still on, suspect damp inside the key barrel?
Aux gauges not working quite right, voltmeter not reading (alternator is charging though) not sure what oil pressure and temp are reading as of yet haven't had a proper look.
Bulbs in the dash need replacing, easy fix.
So the original plan was to sort the issues and sell it on, make some money and do my bike test but having driven it, heard it and plonked it on some 17" alloys I have hanging around I now want to keep it
Thats all for now folks, sorry thats all a bit long winded and I hope it all makes sense
Any input as to the issues will be much appreciated
Cheers
Cadan
