    Just joined - Audi S2 Avant MY95

    Purchased a 191k Emerald green S2 Avant yesterday, with Green leather.

    I believe it was smudge72 car from back in in 2010.

    Engine still pulls really stong, though needs some TLC which I'll aim to give;






    And for the ugly bits;

    All for wheels need refurbing and new rubber fitting;






    Need to fit new track rod arms and rear tie arms to enable a successful alignment

    Then looks like it needs replacement bonnet and interior carpet, then a good detail and some of the following paint work repaired;






    And finally an new knob for here;



    Any help or guidance for replacement parts and suppliers appreciated, going to be based near to Swindon and plan to restore to her form glory.

            yup there is nice car lurking under the mainly superficial bits there

            Never seen a green leather interior, is that stock or some kind of mid life refit?

              Welcome! Good to see an Avant getting the love it deserves, far too many have been run into the ground and been broken
              Definitely a rare interior colour, never seen that before

                    Thanks guys, looking forward to the challenge, already ordered all the rod arm parts that bambridge fabricates, hopefully this will sort out the current steering and enable the car to be aligned correctly.

                    Everything, bar the head unit, is factory speced, the car was ordered and registered to Harvey Nichols LTD, intended for the MD, so presume he had some liking of the green.
