Hi all,
Mid last year, I brought myself a project in the form of a CAT S 3dr 2006 Golf GTI from a well known auction site. I brought it blind for a little over 1k with a theory if it was a lemon, I could sell the good bits.
Fast forward 12 months and its pretty much complete. I have decided to keep it standard even though i've been under pressure from the kids to do stuff that would not be fitting for my age bracket
"I cannot take the credit for the spraying, a friend did that for me"
Part of the project, I convinced the wife that I needed some lifting equipment, something I have always wanted ever since working on a E61 BMW, trying to fix the exhaust with a mixture of axle stands and multiple jacks
I've not got a massive garage, but it has been very handy.
Anyway, to the point. I had thought after this, I would move onto something more complex. I've been looking for a RS3 or RS4 (RS5 is too big for my garage), but after browsing various forums, I saw that some people had done a AWD conversion and thought, hmm, that would be an interesting project.
I've done my research, created browser favorites to quite a lot of posts include on this forum and have a fairly good idea what needs to be done. Hardest bit for me is the welding of the boot floor and the prop mounts as I haven't done any welding since my teenage years on my mk2 golf's exhaust, but hey, I can learn that as I don't have any time constraints.
My question is really what donor car could I look for? I have in my head I could get a salvage Audi S3 and take all what I need, including the K04 and injectors.
What about a TT, mk6 golf r even a A3 Quattro ?
Many many thanks.
