Not much going on as the blue seatbelts have all locked up so can't unreal them at the minute so just losing interest haha.

Also realised I forgot to mention that the drivers side was chassis notched when the wheels were fitted, big thanks to Matty for doing it for me

They are indeed

Fitted the TT pedals today and modified my door pins so that they sit flush (or as close as I could get) when the doors are locked

To be honest I'm getting bored of this now and have lost my love/enthusiasm for it. Think I'll be saving for a Mk5 golf now, so probably only small updates putting he final bits in but doubt if they'll be any major ones

  • Author

Awesome build buddy, really good to see it through the build thread! Those wheels 8>)

cracking build.

did you get the issue sorted with the belts? I had the same problem with one In my A4. when I plugged the pretensioner in it freed up and let me un wind it. could be worth a bash.

also how did you go about the wiring for the headlight washers? I'm hoping to fit a set to my A4 soon once I've got the S4 bumper painted so would be interested in some info. I know it wont be the same for the A4 but I would imagine it will point me the right direction.

cheers

Cheers buddy. I haven't really even bothered with it too be honest, lost all interest/love for it and just keeping it going until I got the money for the next project. I'll PM you about the headlight washers :thumbsup:

As for updates, isn't really any just keeping it clean

Gave the car a full service and new top mount yesterday, first time I've changed the fuel + air filter in my ownership and by the looks of it in a while

Also gave it a good clean/polish/wax etc and came out nice
