131 Sport on Done Deal

[glenn131]

I paid ?1000 for mine last september, including all the spare panels and interiors etc, which I was concerned about, as it was all advertised for ?250 some time before.
I hope to have mine finished for ?5000, have been lucky that I have a friend and fellow enthusiast who welded strada's last 2 s3's doing the welding as a hospital job, and same painter, who is also a very good friend eventually going to do the paint.
Had some very aprreciated help from kev131 getting hold of 2 rear qtrs, main decision I have to make is whether to keep the webasto roof, or go down the yagmar roof panel route?

If you like the Webasto then keep it although it may make the car worth more if it had an original tin roof.

Cant see me selling this ever after all the heartache! Its being built how I would like it, dare I say it, going down the power steering route too, which I understand also kills its value! Might even have central locking from the s3 donor car!
Does anyone know of anyone who refurbishes webasto roofs?
Or alternatively, do you happen to have a good 2 door headlining Dave?
Also, meant to ask, do you have any mk2 dials, as mine seems to have s3 ones at present.

[mirafioriman]

I think the 2 and four door headlinings are at least very similar could you use and recover the one from the donor car? Sorry I don't have any series 2 dials left, all sold now.

[glenn131]

The donor cars one isnt great, but is recoverable if I can get a better one if I cant save the webasto.
Thanks for checking on the dials.
I can manage with s3 dials if I can't find any, they worked fine when we fired her up.
Thanks again.

FROM ONE END OF THE COUNTRY TO THE OTHER AND A QUICK CHANGE OF MIND, LEVEL OF WORK MAY HAVE BEEN GREATER THAN ANTICIPATED.
