Another update.
i found this 1997 A3/mk3 TDi sedan, alpine white in color, with only having a single owner for it's 347XXXkm life. Previous owner owned a paint supply company and had it dealer maintained for it's entire tenure.
Having negotiated with the seller, i picked it up for 3000 CDN and couldn't be happier.
As of recent, i've already decided that I wanted to debadge it, so i used trimmer line and pulled off the jetta and the TDI badging
Decided that I wanted to have 2 glove boxes, so i pulled the upper out of the 96 turbo diesel and removed the passenger airbag from the TDi
Mk4 Shift knob
Not pictured yet is the recaro seats, as they've been swapped over to this car as well.
*note* these next photos are all from my iphone, so the quality is poor, however i haven't yet taken pictures with my other camera.
So, not liking how the stock suspension made me feel like i was on boat, i took the coil overs from the TD and put them into the TDi, along with mounting my wheels as well. The front mud flaps essentially wore to a good point due to the lowering of 4+ inches
then, i wanted to upgrade the stock lighting on it, so i pulled out the ecodes from the TD along with the modified rad support, and the fogs from the TD and put them onto the TDi, here you can see the height difference between the two as well
Most recently, i've given the car a healthy healthy bath. Washed up in all wheel wells, and pulled away the gas tank filler neck and hosed out all dirt that was trapped in there. Found some surface rust, but nothing that is truly cancerous. And also added the front hood bra
Next?
Air ride, full level controlled management, and minor cosmetic modifications. Nothing over the top.
Thanks for looking.
