Title: 5 months in, she's nearly done....
Post by: paddymoo on May 17, 2006, 09:33:08

okay, so after reading an article entitled "24hr chassis swap", and being assured it would take "a couple of weekends" i am just putting the finishing touches to my completely rebuilt S3. i started in November, with practically no land rover experience. its been a long journey, but the end is in site.

all i need now is to fill up those little bits of engine adb gearbox with some of that lubricatiing stuff. am in bristol, does anyone know a good place to buy?

oh, and need some little bits to fit my overdrive -  basically everything apart from the unit itself - does anyone have any?

cheers already
paddy

hi you two

how did you get your oil for free? sounds like a good plan.

there are loads of tips, but i will try and put some methodical advice together some time and post it up here...
