    Exclamation Update

    Hey guys sorry for the long time since last post. I secured a set of BBS RS031's last week for $500 from Swan Tyre Service! They were on the manager's E30 BMW. As soon as he finds some other wheels i'll be able to put em on my car and lose the semi-lame cheviot 14x5.5's!! I've still got my two BBS RS 001's but i'll keep them and use them when two more pop up somewhere. The RS031's are 15x6.5 whereas the 001's are 15x7.
    The old wreck will soon be towed up to GOLFWAGEN where it will be stripped, so if anyone needs any parts...

    There's some pics of the old car, before and after damage!!
    Check the broken wheel. It was a BMW BBS Euro spec 15x7 E30 M3 rim.




    Luckily the RS001's were unharmed!!!

    And this is the replacement GTI. By the way, these Cheviots are for sale. $100 with good rubber.

    This is the donor S3 arriving, and some shots of the damage to some of the engine ancillaries. Pretty bad eh?!!

    Once i get the wreck to Golfwagen (08 9303 4999) me and Joe will pull it apart and I'll make one sweet car outta two
    Sorry Mischa, but one of the first things will be to retrofit the small bumpers That front big bumpr looks dodge anyway after some 'nice' home repairs by the previous owner!!
    Then I will use the great interior from the grey car and possibly the ol' split window'd front doors. I need a new small bump'd GTI front splitter/spoiler if anyone knows of one???
    Eventually the white car will someday be resprayed in the Atlas Grey or similar as it needs a respray anyway.
    I'm looking for a suitable 02A gearbox and flywheel, and a VR6 clutch. Joe will probably have something there amongst his huge stockpile!
