Audi 100 2,3E: on the way home I was reminded of just how bad this car handles. My plan today was originally to change the brakes on the T4 but I’m still waiting for parts, so I decided to change the right control arm on the Audi instead. This car has never seen salt so everything came apart just fine. Putting it back together was trickier. The anti-roll bar put up a fight! The car is now better but not perfect. I need to do the same thing on the left side. There’s considerable play on that side as well.

Audi 100 2,3E came out of hibernation today. Started right up, brakes working fine and the tyres were still round. Everything covered in bird shit though… And I give you guys a bonus picture from my commute to work. This picture was taken yesterday morning.

Check this out! Vaz 1500 DL 1979. I talked to the owners son and he told me a little about its history. Last MOT in 1994. Been a rally car since the eighties.

Lovely! After some research: Jelcz, based on a Skoda.

Update: VW T4 Multivan. Fiddled with the electrics for the auxiliary battery, just simplified things a bit. Also removed the subwoofer. The sound system in this car sounds bloody good but the subwoofer ate up all the space between the seats and we are mostly listening to podcast’s anyway. Brakes made strange sounds when pushing the brake pedal. So I had a look at that. The squeaky rear right side looked good. I decided to check on the rear left side as well and I’m glad I did. When I changed the left wheel cylinder in 2021 I bought the cheapest one I could find. It said made in Russia and looked bloody awful. Now 2,5 years later it had developed a leak… fortunately I had a new Bosch laying around. Upcoming projects on the T4 includes front brakes, roof rack, an old and free Volvo roof box and fixing yet another coolant leak.

Update: Audi 100 Diesel. Interior change complete, orange indicators instead of white and the stereo build done and the car is out and about. Waiting to get my new tyres put on. Not because the ones on the Fondmetal rims are bad but because I want to go for original steel rims instead. The car runs fine, and eats miles in a way I wasn’t expecting. Keeping a steady 120 km/h is no problem.

Really happy with this lot. Moskvitch 2141 and a couple of absolutely mint Lotus Elites. The 2141 was also available with Fords Endura-D engine according to Wikipedia.

Nice! A w124 200 Diesel is quite high up on my want list.
