Rob's Ur Quattro

[Wardy]

Ah well Rob - onwards and upwards!

[RobClubley]

Indeed! There is a red quattro for sale locally with no engine. He's asking three times what I paid for my whole car though.

 

Might have been easier to buy that and swap! Though at least I am saving a classic car which would (should??) have gone for scrap.

 

The probability is getting higher that the Skoda will have to be sold to pay for the Audi's bodywork.

Oh no, not the Octy! That's a legacy car for your family

[RobClubley]

Oh no, not the Octy! That's a legacy car for your family

 

Then I'd have to daily drive the ur

We'll see how it goes, I'd like to keep both but the way it's going the bill is likely to be a bit steep. I need a third job as my second job doesn't pay

[Lady Elanore]

Oh Rob, you've put so much into your Octy, it would be super sad to see it go. You need a paying lodger who could look after your baby Kiwi sanctuary for you

More photos of that Swiss cheese rear end.

Aaaand this is the moment I've been waiting for for months. Front passenger side guard is off.

 

Oh sh...

You deserve a medal

[RobClubley]

You deserve a medal

 

I think at this point a stiff drink is in order.

[Lady Elanore]

I'm having one in your honour already :cocktail:

[blueR36]

Maybe contact evo mag and see if they are willing to pay you a fee to feature your car from start to finish , one of the staffers has a feature on his 911 and a few others have cars in that a slowly being improved . I think it's something the readers would love , even if it only pays for one corner to repair ?

Just went for a look, and to drop off the metal bumper inners so they can re-check the fit.

 

Hmm...

[RobClubley]

Spoke to Just Rust and they're happy that the body is done. We're talking about paint now. O_o

 

[RobClubley]

Apparently the rear is all undersealed and nice now, and we've been talking paint codes and when it's likely to be done. Maybe I'll have it back for my birthday next month

Just waiting for my boyracer rally car spoiler to arrive, it's in transit from Germany via DHL.

 

Oh and I have bought some awesome but possibly inappropriately large wheels

[RobClubley]

I am of course an expert at using paint.net.

Strange, works for me.

Enjoying very much rereading, after having just watched Car SOS again.
