Rhett i was thinking the same thing!

Are there people out there that can refurb wheel trims?

Mine have a few dents / scratches :(

Also you cant find replacements as they are rare as!

Speaking of wheel trims i want to get mine repaired as they are scratched and dented.

Anyone know a place that can repair wheel trims?

I got a quote of $150 per wheel trim is that good or pricey?

Not much of an update at the moment. I would have liked more to be happening but my mechanic went away on holidays and will be coming back next week. but in the mean time here are a few things that i got that are interesting:

NOS uncut Ignition key as you can see with the original Door key:

Image

Original English manual (most are in German) with original folder:

Image

This came in the mail from der fatherland:

Image

Certificate of Production from Audi:

Image

As you can see it says the car was a UK delivered car which I am investigating. Unless all Aussie
F103's were designated as UK cars due to them being RHD? Also it says it was delivered in 1969 which according to my records has been in Australia since 1968. At least the colour codes are correct :)

Image

It also came with a copy of the original Production Card:

Image

I also bought a copy of Australian Motor from 1967 as they were reviewing a LHD Red 4 Door F103 before it was launched in Australia:

Image

Image

Image

Image

Came with a Castrol poster which i thought was funny with the "race" cars they chose:

Image

Image

Quick pic only changes are I got rid of the Mk1 Golf mirrors the owner installed and got some nice shiny chrome ones along with some red fuzzy dice for something differnt

Image

Cant wait to get it fully serviced and the suspension all sorted!

That's a good size garage & if the cars aren't cool enough, there's an arcade game in there too? Carpet the floor with nasty casino carpet, throw in a tv & a mini fridge, & you won't want the rest of the house.

After months of looking i found one of the earliest Stereo Blaupunkt Frankfurts from the late 60's :)

These were fitted as dealer options to the Audi's:cool:

This is even more rare as its a USA version which has FM/AM buttons vs the usual U/L German buttons.

Im so chuffed:
