This is now up for sale. Im waiting for the V5 etc to come back from the DVLA after putting the private plate onto retention so itll be on a G-plate within the next week. Its going on Ebay starting price £3500 but hope it to reach £5000 due to rarity, condition and very low milage. So if anyone is i...

"Then he might be up for sale. " how could you sell that? there is nothing you could buy to replace it. do you know why it was taken off the road yet? I bought it as a project to get it on the road and was always thinking of selling when done. Ive got other projects that need cash. It's a...

The Syncro is taxed and insured and on the roads :D Well pleased and it's great to drive, bit thirsty compared to my TDi tho :shock: I took "Len" for some light offroading today and got some pics while we were out :D [IMG:640:480]http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e26/spectrum1/IMG_1507.jpg...

:) ... but Stan wouldn't dream of putting a V12 in it, I'm sure ! Ha, it might be a squeeze :D Im keeping it as standard as possible, i even wanted to keep the original 14" steels and wheel trims, but they were beyond hope and tyres are expensive for that size :( stan, where abouts in the uk a...

I sourced some 15" Audi steels and some 235/70 Desert Hawk tyres. Fairly cheap, but at least look the part

Little update. The Tristar passed its MOT today :D :D No real problems, just a couple of advisories (headlight loose etc). It's had new fuel lines and filter, new brake lines, exhaust, battery, wheels & tyres and many other bits. Needed a little welding on 1 sill, but other than that its solid. ...

Update... Engine running :D :D Only briefly tho... its got a "slight" fuel leak, but new lines and filter on order, it ran fine tho! Few other bits on order including new window seals, and i need to get hold of some tyres (and maybe wheels). Current wheels are 6x14 and getting hold of tyre...

Hi, wot is the offset and pcd of syncro wheels? Are they Audi/Merc fitment of 5/112? Thanx, Rob It is 5/112 should have an et of 30-40. Most audi wheels have an et 40+ but this can be fixed with a spacer. Merc wheels are more et friendly and the centre bore does not need enlarging. Sounds good... t...
