Help needed

Hey guys and girls,
What am I going to do with Stumpy?
I have no idea where to start.
Anyone says get shot of him and buy something with coils and I'll cry.
I'm going to need alot of help with this.

Why won't my pictures upload onto this??

hi first thing first did you put the link on the pic button 16 in from left on the small buttons just above (try editing it and have a look) , maby someone else will explain it better. (looks like a 8 on its side)

stumpy how is his chassie and bodywork and is he running?

Chassis is bent I hit a clio. Need to wait until after christmas before I can buy a new one. Body work all ok. Engine is out. He is sitting at my work stripped down to his bulkhead. I have a 200tdi for him and the gearbox and overdrive should be ok with that. Its at the idea stage just now. I'm worried about the more power but still rubbish brakes thing. If I put the 200tdi in him will I have to do something to make the brakes better?
He does have a habbit of running into things.

drum or disc on frount?

i take it was a desial that was in?

series is it?

Yes it was diesel and it was running just a wee bit smokey. Drums all round. Still trying to get pics to work.

An 88in S3 he was my first car so can't let him go.

if planning to use the tdi on series box it is recomended that you take the turbo off as it appentley can give problems when the turbo kicks in it is too much for the gear box.

Hi Jenny one of easiest way is to up load to photobucket or other photo hosting site then you can copy & paste photos hope this helps

I'll actually be attempting a 200tdi conversion shortly too, do you already have an engine?

It depends what your long term plans are, it's actually a lot easier just to do away with the intercooler, it has a similar taming effect, but can make a massive difference as an easy later upgrade if you want it.
I know of a guy running a 200tdi in a 1952 series one complete with turbo but no intercooler, and it's working well.

Fair enough i was just going on what i had read up on as i had a 109 at the time that i was planning the conversion but never did it as i was offered stupid amout off money for most of the body and engine, with bulkhead and chassie being shot i took it and bought the new one

Yes I have the engine. Well my friend has the engine at his house until I'm ready for it. He has another 3 I think if your looking for one I think he is selling them.
I was told to get a frontiera intercooler. The other thing I was thinking was Leafs over axles and spacers to make it more stable or is that going to him to rolly polly?
