Audi-Cabrio-Freunde Forum

Hello,

My Deutsch is not that good so I will introduce myself in English. I'm from a small place next to Groningen, 25 years and I have my own car related shop(climatcontrol, car audio, all kind of accessories and I do a lot of Audi original retrofitting).

I did buy myself a A4 3.0 V6 with manual transmission from 2002 with 237.000 km on it. The car is in a quite bad condition but I'm almost ready with fixing most of it.

This is how I bought the car:





As soon as I got it home I did wash it and put the Audi BBS Speedline underneath it witch I had from my previous car.



In the car I did replace all broken parts and installed an RNS-E from the latest type the one witch high resolution and 32gb sd capacity, and also I retrofitted the GRA.

Cant upload more pix in one post so here more:





Here the RNS-E:



On the outside the car also had some damage:

A few weeks after I got the car I got hit while waiting for the traffic lights and got some additional damage to the car:





Then I decided it was time for a full perfect respray, I did strip the car myself completely and then I got to the painter.

And this is how its right now, I hope the car will be back by the end of the week.







When its back at my shop I will but it back together and also put on some new parts:

S4 Diffuser
S4 Grills (all 4)
Tow bar
New logo's

And al the parts which are damaged while taking apart will be replaced.

Hi carson,
here in the forum.
Nice presentation.
You've invested much time (and also money I believe) in your car, so hopefully you can enjoy it from the weekend.

Regards

Thanks, the respray is quite cheap cause of the women that hit me from the backside here insurance pays more then 2/3 of the total respray cost.

A lot of time I did spend on it, but I want to keep this car for a few years so better do It right the first time than do it 2 times.

Welcome here maybe you can visit us on one of our events Might be interesting for us and you

Regards
