Hi folks, I've just bought a 2001 tdi75 as a pretty full on project, it has done stellar mileage - like 300k plus, and it feels like it. It has Bose,oss,cruise,dis and air con.
The suspension is horrible and everything seems pretty worn out, but i like the spec and want to make it into my long term keeper, running on veg oil eventually.
initially i need to get it roadworthy. i sorted the starting issue by swapping out the tiny 44Ah battery for a proper battery, and i'm sure a fuel filter and air filter change will improve the engine performance alot, the fuel filter is really rusty, and obviously hasn't been touched for a while. it will also go better once the rear drum break stops binding and smoking.... - i'm sure there's a guide on here for that.
anyway, the body and suspension are pretty poor. It is really bouncy and all shocks have had it. I'm wondering if the suspension can be swapped from an FSI colour storm I have into the tdi?
Also, I really like the look of the blue colour storm we have and I'd like to swap the body from it to the tdi. I know how to do the bumpers, are there any guides on replacing wings, doors and boot?
Can the doors just be swapped between a 2004 and 2001 model? I'll have to swap the locks, hopefully there is a guide somewhere for that?
Sorry for so many questions.
I must say i love the BOSE.
Cheers nod
