Effective, but I'd argue against calling it a sleeper. Nice dash transplant.

Quite. The polar opposite of a sleeper in factJonMad wrote: Fri Apr 08, 2022 9:58 am Effective, but I'd argue against calling it a sleeper. Nice dash transplant.

The dash transplant looks pretty nasty to me (you're probably being sarcastic so apologies!) - gaps either side and the Yeti dash is probably more modern than the A3's which has been put in. The particular highlight is the gear lever surround floating about, no chance of that ever fitting properlyJonMad wrote: Fri Apr 08, 2022 9:58 am Effective, but I'd argue against calling it a sleeper.

Methanol injection in the boot? It's putting out 485bhp, which is probably not too hard to achieve with just a remap from that engine. Nice in principle but £26k? Fuck no.

yeah, some sarcasm involved. lol at
- just taking the whole thing - interesting that was the easiest approach and that it worked (I assume, I didn't read the ad)
- the complete lack of fit
£26k seems at least £20k too much.

If only they had dsg from the factory so you could get one that fitsJobbo wrote: Fri Apr 08, 2022 10:48 am The particular highlight is the gear lever surround floating about
Flocked dash makes me wonder if the airbag had gone off, if the base Yeti has a cat against it.
Passenger wheels may have some scuffage, front maybe a wee kink.
Rear reflectors aren't fitted
I've no idea how to value it - much would depend on how straight the shell and running gear are - but iirc there are enough differences between the Skoda and Audi electrics that it's far more of a shell swap than an engine swap.
As long as the exhaust can be quiet I'd say it's a sleeper to the vast majority of people.

If you look at the sellers other items they’re all damaged car auction buys. I bet that they’ve got a crashed yeti and a crashed rs3 and superglued them togethernuttinnew wrote: Fri Apr 08, 2022 3:28 pmIf only they had dsg from the factory so you could get one that fitsJobbo wrote: Fri Apr 08, 2022 10:48 am The particular highlight is the gear lever surround floating about

Apart from KGF going a bit mad dressing the plastic exterior trim (it's supposed to be a bit grey - it became darker grey around 1990) it's just time-warp and lovely. I don't even think that's bad value; there can't be many in this condition.

Not really. Plenty of people at the time reckoned the 1.6 was sweeter. And 35 years on, I’m not convinced anyone will be thrashing it.
