Front wings can be bought form Audi tradition now. Avus 16" wheels are very easy to find on ebay. Just wondered there was a guy on here called "Josh" i think, from Wales, who said he knew where the Original Nothell wheels were and was asking me about values 3 years ago.

[Tractor Dave]

The car belonged to Josh and he is going to get back to me about the wheels (hopefully).
I will check Audi Tradition. Thanks for the heads up.

Just a quick update on parts hunting.
I've ordered two front wings from my local friendly Audi dealer (Sinclair Neyland). They were much cheaper than Audi Tradition! Why is that?
On the wheels front, I was looking under the special offers section in Audi Tradition and there were 17" S3 Avus wheels on offer at 30 Euro each. I've just ordered four. I think that's a bargain! 168 euro all in delivered.
Newish has also been very helpful and is building a pile of parts for me to collect in a few weeks time.
Thanks everyone for your help and assistance. Hopefully this car will roll again soon!
Still looking for 996 calipers if you hear of any going.

Wow, that’s a great price on the wheels! Well done!

Be aware that S3 8L has PCD of 5x100, but S2 has 5x112. S3 8P is also 5x112, but as far as I know it didn't came with Avus wheels as standard.

[Tractor Dave]

Oh F###!
I will see if I can cancel the order. If not, anyone want some nice new wheels for their 5x100 Audi?
That's the trouble with internet shopping after a glass of wine!

Most can relate this I'm sure! Don't think you'll have any bother moving them on for what you paid for them?

IMHO better option, take the hubs out and get the 5x100 pcd drilled in them, double the wheel choice

I’m the butcher from this car... don’t hate me forum.

PM’d you about the nothelle wheels which are currently on a 3B coupe and me and Mark are just sorting Few other bits for you to bring up

[Tractor Dave]

That's ok Josh. If you hadn't taken it to bits, it wouldn't be having such a deep restoration now!
Started around the back end today. I've removed all of the rusty bits underneath. some of the petrol tank supports can be saved but the one that runs up to the filler neck is dead. I understand that they are no longer available so I will have to fabricate something. Now my tractor restoring skills are going to come in handy!
The rear bumper was a sod to get off. It seemed to have welded itself onto the car. Came off eventually but I was worried I was going to pull the car off the axle stands, I was pulling so hard!
The brackets that hold the leading edge of the bumper on are shot. Will have to check on Audi Tradition to see if there are still available.
I received some sample fabrics from Wollies today. I haven't found a good carpet for the car and may as well make up a new one from scratch. Not too expensive and seems good stuff.

[Tractor Dave]

Met up with NEWSH over the weekend and now I have a good pile of parts sorted.

Has anyone got a shell they are breaking as I need the bonnet gas strut bracket that is welded onto the O/S suspension turret inside the engine bay?

This is the last bit I need to complete the engine bay, then I can re spray it.

Thanks

Available from Audi Tradition if that's any help?

[Tractor Dave]

Fantastic! I didn't see it there when I looked. Thanks very much indeed.
