Typ43

Hi there again :) At long last hope to be ready soon to start restoring my two tone Typ 43, so as spare parts are easily available in Germany I'll probably be needing quite a few from your three specialist spare parts suppliers. However would it be possible to get my restorers to keep in regular tou...

Thank you Joe very useful to know indeed. Lots of work ahead !

I hope the attached pics come out ok as I can't speak German....

Hi Andy, good to hear you are willing to keep the wheels rolling! I am sure there are not many classic Audis still preserved in the UK. Rust has always been an issue, and even if you have got NOS spare parts proper rust proofing is an absolute must. Today's cavity waxes are good materials to achiev...

Hi again, I shall be restoring both cars all being well this summer with many new parts from Germany.

However are the new spares such as doors, wings, bonnets and boot going to start rusting again the same as before, or will they be new and properly rustproofed ?

Thanks...

Hi again :) I still have both Type 43 cars still unrestored in storage but need to get an insurance valuation for them. The GL5E needs a complete rebuild but is all intact, the 100CS blue/silver is also in good condition but will also need a rebuild as well. Any ideas ? http://www.typ43.eu/Forum/vie...

Hi again, haven't been around for ages but I still have my 100CS two tone/colour and GL5E in storage and still unrestored as unfortunately much too busy. Firstly I'm trying to discover the history of the two tone/colour cars, how many were built and how many were right hand drive ? Secondly I can't ...

A few last pictures of CS 100 for the photo album taken in August 2005 in the Exmoor National Park, the week before she came off the road for good after 23 years motoring....not bad !! :cool: In the last picture you can faintly see Dartmoor National Park across the skyline. http://i1246.photobucket....

Hi everyone, It's been a long time since I've posted as I've unfortunately been very busy and often away these past few years so time for an update.... I'd been hoping at long, long last to make a start sometime next year on completely restoring my apparently very rare RH drive 100 CS, but unfortuna...

Hi everyone :) Just to say many, many thanks to new member quattro777 from Ireland who out of the blue has just given me a decent German/ English translation service at long last - Firefox with Google toolbar ! Although it's still a bit of a struggle to understand in places I can recommend it as the...

Well I've had a go at several software translations and this is the best I can find ! Is there anything just a little easier, though I'm not complaining - I love it !! <img src="happy.gif" border="0"> <a target="_blank" href="http://www.tranexp.com/">http://ww...

Hi Maic <img src="smile.gif" border="0"> That's good to know about the spare parts availability as I never knew this before. Every source I've tried down the years including those in the Classic world kept saying there was nothing, yet I just knew there had to be others out there...
