Well.. after a long hard thing, I've come to the conclusion that the best bet is to strip the Audi for parts! So thats exactly what I've done.
I spent the full weekend getting the car down to a bare shell, ready to be weighed in. 
The only things left were the windows, wiring and some daft little things which weren't worth much money.
The shell has now gone and the garage is full of Audi parts. Now its time to try and sell it all. Thats the fun bit!
So far, I've made a fair bit of money back on it, I've managed to sell quite alot of big parts, which has got me enough money back to pay off my overdraft and credit card! Which I'm pretty happy about to be honest. 

So.. Who is going? 
Even with the lack of money, I will definitely be attending! £30 for a full weekend of drinking, camping and laughing... worth every penny!
Overdraft is gone in less then a week. I'm owed nearly £200 still from various people, so hopefully I'll get all that soon. 
If not, theres always the credit car as a temp solution ;) 
I honestly cant wait for this! Travel down on the Friday, get camping sorted, and then its time to start drinking! 

Brings back memories from the previous years that I've been.. 

Well, with less then 4 hours to go now, I'm getting very nervous! I have had more offers yes... but still no one has bidded! 

Well, not long left until the car hopefully goes! 
I currently have 102 watchers on ebay, which may just be a load of mates, waiting for it not to sell! 
I have had some crazy offers, the most recent, is a Vectra!
Someone came around to view the car, and is very interested. But they currently have their car on ebay, and its set to end after mine. Hopefully for them, no one will bid, and they can have the Audi. We'll just have to see. 
I've already been looking around for a replacement car, something small and fun, and I'm desperate for a Clio 172/182. I think they looking really nice standard, and should do me a couple of years.

I managed to get myself a 3 year driving ban many moons ago.. Stupidly managed to get a license and lose it within a year. 
I don't by regrets at all, but i can only imagine that my insurance would be cheaper if I didn't get banned! 
I've always loved the look of the mk3 Ibizas, something nice and subtle about the shape. At the time, they weren't a very common car in the area, and not many people truly knew the capabilities of these, and then 1.8 20vt engine. 
Today though, is a very different story, these cars go so cheap, and a half decent one on high miles can be picked up for around £1000-£1500! Making them a cheap, fast hatchback. With simple mods, these can push around 240bhp, in something that doesnt weight much, makes for a lot of fun!

I just wanted to post up a couple of pics of my mates Leon. Its not to everyones tastes, but personally.. I think its pretty nice! 
I guess others must like it too, as its currently getting shot for FastCar magazine. The photographer is loving the moody shots of the derelict building in the background. That, mixed with a very modern looking car in a standard SEAT Kiwi green, makes for a really good contrast!

Well its been a long time coming, but I made a start on taking parts off the car. It wasn't as hard as I thought.. I tend to get emotionally attached to things very easily, and with me loving my car, I thought taking parts of would get to me. 
I know a lot of people who go through a lot of cars.. They modify them, then sell them, and get a new toy. I 'm the opposite, I buy something, and keep it for as long as I can .. which has always been the wrong thing to do, now that I look back and see my track record. Its not good..
The Ibiza Cupra nearly skinted me, £10 a day to get to work and back.. The Audi A4 was literally falling apart, and could of killed me! And now the A3, which has been broken more times then its been fixed. 
So far I've took off the rear lights, Headunit, steering wheel, gearknob, floor mats and parcel shelf. Those have been sold and made me a bit of money. All being replaced with standard parts. I will then get it put on eBay. Was going to advertise it locally first, but thinking I'll just bite the bullet and get it put on there. Once its gone... then its gone. Oh, and now I'm back at work.. fun!

My mate Liam has the Audi A4 in the picture. His car is cursed like mine, but not to the same extent! It suffers for a strange ABS/Braking problem that we cannot get to the bottom of. Basically is causes his brakes to lock on , and wears them down a lot by overheating them. Anyway,. enough of the boring stuff.
Liam can only really be described as a person who gets an idea in his head, and wants to do it there and then, usually with the help of me and some others.. and usually not to a very good finish.. because we run out of time, or because he picks stupid times to do things. Like painting a car.. when its raining!
Luckily we had a unit to do it in, so that was the first problem solved. a splitter was bought for the car, but already paint in a nice Audi black (from a B7 shape) and he wanted to paint all the lower plastics black to match his car.. so that he could fit the splitter. Now most people would usually pay to get it done, roughly £160-£200 would probably cover it. A nice finish with the correct paint. No.. Liam wanted us to rush it , so that he could put the splitter on that day! So we did. and to be honest.. it turned out quite well! 2 heavy coats of primer, 3 to 4 coats of paint.. and lots and lots of lacquer. We even waited for it to dry ! Which is probably a first for us.. It was your standard Gloss Black from any motor factors. Simonez product. Worked a treat, and now that the car is clean, it really does look nice! 
RX8 seats fitted, and multifunctional steering wheel. the car is finally getting there. Next on the list is to lower the front more, sits slightly too high and needs to come down by at least 30mm! 

Well got a tiny bit more done tonight. Nothing major, but every little helps I guess!
Firstly, I got an envelope in the post.. and it happened to be the remainder of the white vinyl I needed to finish the shark mouth.. so thats finally all done! looks okay, but it should look a lot better once the rest of the bumper is sprayed. To show the contrast between the black car, white teeth, and grey mouth. I was thinking of putting a shark sticker on my coolant bottle..?
I also got the waterpump off, to find to my surprise, that its a metal impellar. Which is good! I suppose its best to change it whilst I do the belt anyway. Doesn't appear to be anything wrong with it, no cracks etc, but it is a bit stiff when turning.
I put more back on the head as well, just a couple of brackets that I cleaned before hand.
The big task is trying to get a load of people together tomorrow, to get my car in the garage! I would love to get that done, it means I could do a lot more! but I just cant see it happening anytime soon :(
