The part Number is F0112 there an optional wheel off a E34 BMW I think.

I had a look at the hubs today don't think I can weld and drill them the back of them is tapered so if they where to go to
5 x 120 I'll runout of meat.

Wonder if I could weld studs on the front in stead like a falcon or commodore hub????

Any one done that.. or Have the wheels re-drilled???

Holy toledo batman. This car is awesome. In a manual too, thats just brilliant.

Those bbs are just perfect but with the 'big audi' suspension travel, I reckon you might have rubbing issues. Ahh well

heres some inspiration:

Love that video, its such a shame for us that they never bought the 20v quattro 200's to Australia. Mine will probarly never go like that one but hopefully it looks awesome!!!

I will be addressing the suspension once the interior is finished so hopefully there wont be too much rubbing. I agree I have to some how get those rims on there!!!

I spoke with Mark from Eastern Wheel Works today he seem to think they can make it happen so fingers crossed will report back after I take the wheels up there and they access them

Work on the dash board has been started, where the cracks where each edge was rising so a bit of grinding with a dremel to get everything flat again then a healthy dose of filler to make smooth. Now wait to it dries then sand back and off to the trimmer to covered in exotic micro suede ooooooooo!!!

very nice! I don't see why the wheels couldn't be made to fit with a lot of welding, machining and re-boring, haha. easier probably than trying to convert the hubs to 5x120... although, arent the new audi Q5's and Q7's 5x120?....forget I said anything....

Hmmm I see 5 x 120 you say.......My mechanic will love me.....

Anyways....

Headed over to Baytech Automotive this evening to reinstall the interior, First of all a massive thank you to Andy and Wayne for helping so far to date with out your patience my lack knowledge would truly be exposed and answering a million questions along the lines of how does this come apart???

Righto as talked about before the seats and carpet cleaned up a treat 27 years of filth has been removed there were any number of stains and oil spots all over the carpets

Also had the windscreen removed, need a new one for RWC and to reinstall the head lining

FYI if you ever have asked a mechanic do something that seems small and been charged the earth for it............... Chances are it was so (&^()(* Fiddly they most likely took 10 years of knowledge and industry experience to lets say replace that sunroof for you. Pay the money people just pay the money!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If anyone would like to chat further about sunroofs installation feel free to pm me eat way to much to write here

There is a quick shot of part of the head lining will take some better photos in the sun shine soon

Late night run googles and all, check out the patina!!!!!

Cheers

Cheers pretty happy with how clean it has come up.

Here are a few more pic of the interior, I managed to fine a set of black hand grabs too they look much nice then the beige

Im also of thinking about not trying to get these wheels too fit any more, after trying to test fit them to the rear. It seems they will be too wide unless I pull the guards. The list to make them fit so far

1) Re drill PCD
2) Pull Guards
3) Run massive stretch
4) Probably will still Rub Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
