The Project Pad

WAUHP84A6PN046782

Decided I was tired of having to constantly chase my tail with issues from my parts coupe that I've been daily driving, so instead of missing work due to breakdowns I'd be better off with a proper winter beater.

Picked up this gem today for a song from a friend who'd taken great care of her and had been well maintained by the POs. I'm the 3rd registered owner. Car's rolling on OEM Fuchs and a set of Hankook iPikes in good condition.

I've decided to name her Ursula.

Plan is to keep her running with consumables only until the time comes to do some mild upgrades.

Right now things needing repair/attention are:

-- oil change (included)
-- fuel filter (included)
-- wipers (done)
-- A/C(?)
-- license plate captive bolts
-- d/s heated seat
-- p/s seat motor
-- sunroof switch is wonky
-- radio is in safe mode
-- cruise control
-- pass/front & pass/rear windows
-- DIS no worky
-- struts (came with Blau kit)
-- PS leak (EPIC)
-- coolant leak (slight)
-- possibly ignition coils
-- some rust/door trim issues
-- rear calipers need refurb
-- VC gasket (included)

Other than that, for 267k km, she's a beauty!!

Very nice, you will like it!

This teaser will have to suffice for now, but I'm sure you get the gist of my plans

But we did not have heated rears in Canada!

So I read Ed's DIY on quattroworld about swapping the UrS6 wheel into the UrS4, does that apply to a B5S4 wheel ('02)?

Require updates......

All I'm saying online is that Ursula is getting a major facelift.

You're welcome (read: encouraged) to come by this weekend and see for yourself.

But... you're too far away!

Diesel gets good mileage... jusy sayin.

Even with all the hard goes of late you need to up date this....maybe add some new pics dusty!

LOL this car is dead to me, pending an autopsy.

New build thread will commence when I get some results.

Pics now required as she's running.
