Had a little run of owning an S3 which ended badly but just picked this up on tuesday. 140,ooo mile 20v non-turbo to do me for commuting 70 miles a day.



it got a wash at my friends garage


and the badges fell off




I was more looking for a PD but this one came up and loved the straight rust free kingfisher blue and took the plunge. The top arms are away at the front and there is a rumble from the rear brakes and at a quick look it looks like the rear calliper is partially seized and the left rear disc is beyond salvage so they'll be on the to do list. Loving driving a B5 estate again

 

Yes!! Congrats on the purchase.

One of my favorite stock colors ever. Especially on an Avant. What's the plan for the car?

 

It's non turbo. There can be no plans.

 

Exactly why there should be a lot of plans for it.

Turbo it, lower, and tuck some 19's. Yes!

 

Do you live in Europe? Since you had an S3.

 

@TPAM the plates didn't give that away?
Op nice ride I love the color!

 

thanks all,plan is to put lots of miles on it cheaply hence the non-T purchase Im from Scotland to help narrow down the plate location

these arrived today,in keeping with the cheap daily I went for FK ak's


thanks for the welcomes and comments Im a big fan of the color as well and its going in to the paintshop over the next week hopefully to get the fronts rolled and a few bits touched up,then its lows and wheels.

 

my previous B5s(both 20vTs)

 

no engine plans,just lower and wheels(18s more than likely but im getting a set of 17" pegasus in the next week)

 

Oh man, I didn't realize that red one was yours. You uploaded some pictures before. Looks clean! Anymore pictures of it?

Pegasus is awesome. My buddy used to run a set on his MK4.

I can't wait to see what you have in store for this Avant.
