Engine bay looks shocking, If I finish work in daylight I'll take some pictures but you won't be impressed.
I had a look at it the day Bam picked it up and I thought it was really poor. Looked like a test vehicle, didn't look like a professional job for the money that was spent on it.
Was quick though.
previous- Pug 205 gti, 306 gti, 309 gti Goodwood.
Audi S3, S4 V8 avant.
Porsche Macan Turbo.

Passed MOT last week :bigblink: Just a few more little annoying things to sort out, RNSE is dead, knob missing from menu switch, alarm switch by driver door broken and the biggy the starter motor only works when cold :bash:

I think the term Bam used was "work in progress" :jump: But like you I think it was a test bed for MRC.

This has been an epic journey, and I’m glad this legend didn’t get destroyed.

Got a new starter motor at last, luckily the company that made it are still going and not too far from me. The standard starter motor is no longer available from Audi so these guys might be an option in the future https://brise.co.uk/Starter-Motors/

Rocker covers switched left to right, odd but probably for access to filler cap?
