sidrick Posted March 30, 2010 Author Share Posted March 30, 2010 (edited) These arrived today: http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p89/adolftitler/SDC10170.jpg The dreaded rear trailing arm bushes! I don't think I'll DIY these though as they're a bit of a ball-ache. Very pleased with these as I thought I was buying ebay cheapo ones, but Febi Bilstein OE ones arrived. Win!

Craig855S Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 A full day of pain and broken tools or circa £100...I'd probably opt for the pro job as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidrick Posted April 6, 2010 Author Share Posted April 6, 2010 so i take it your keeping it now seeing as your STILL spending money on it? Have to say i do enjoi this thread for some reason, don't really read the show us your motor threads Keeping it for just now, by the looks of it. I think about selling it daily, but what's a rusty slow E36 worth to anyone that hasn't spent the time and effort on it that I have? Not a lot. I also only like a select amount of cars, with my preference being another Audi Coupe, which would be as old, as slow and just as much for insurance, lol. I've priced up a 2.8 M52 engine, which might (at an amazing push) be purchased at the end of the month, and I'm waiting for quotes on a homer (from a professional bodyshop worker) for spraying the front wings and nose cone, and..... a complete respray in matt black.
