matty_s6 Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 I am new to audi ownership, I found this audi s6 for sale pretty cheap. The main issue was the gearbox didn't drive, it had no interior, the wrong wheels and no exhaust. I bought it for the engine mainly. That idea changed once I saw the car, so now I'm putting it back on the road instead of scrapping the shell. The auto box has gone, it now has a manual box, I just need to sort out a clutch pedal and pipes. While I was searching for parts, I found some nicer wheels, I just need to sort out the rear suspension so I can fit the wheels without spacers.

matty_s6 Posted June 4 Author Share Posted June 4 The only progress this month is that the car has gone to the fabricators for some welding, hopefully I can then get rid of the spacers and fit the coilovers, the car sits too high as I have removed a lot of weight, the auto weighed a lot compared to the manual gearbox. I will update when the car comes back probably in july some time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matty_s6 Posted June 24 Author Share Posted June 24 I came back from holiday and the car has come back from the fabricator, my only requirement was that I didn't want it to need spacers and now it doesnt. The wheels fit great, maybe a narrower tyre needed. I need to get it running again next, then fit the front coilovers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
