MOT check on the 350,000 mile ‘09 A3 yesterday revealed a lot of soft metal in places especially both sills, rear boot floor area has 4 holes and also soft at the opening where the handbrake cables go into the body

Needless to say we’ve written it off and it won’t see its MOT in a couple of weeks. It needs a gearbox as the diff is about to explode again so this is just adding insult to injury too.

Lot of memories over the last 13 years, lot of miles travelled (322,000) but at the end of the day it’s just metal 😔 will be sad to see it go but hey-ho

Not dead from the common well known fault of conrod failure which is the more annoying thing of the whole lot! I’ll be stripping parts out of it that I can sell on and the rest will be squashed 😬😬

Lifted for metal recycling along with 2 other vehicles this morning … no hanging about with me! Certificate of Destruction also issued, job jobbed.

My son had to buy a few parts for his due to him not having enough talent. Bumper, passenger wing and bonnet all bought from scrap yards all over NI. He does have headlights if you are looking any.

Picked the ST up from the body shop :grinning: all straight again. Also took the opportunity to get the rims refursished at the same time. Just need to find a decent set of wheel nuts that wont be rust coloured in two weeks to finish it off :grinning:

Got to work on one of my own cars today, front suspension, brakes, arch liners all out of the Z4. Shocks/springs cleaned up and painted, calipers stripped and painted and arches washed. Start into the Lanoguard in the morning
