Hey guys, was hoping you might be able to help me ID these wheels and which model car they would have come off http://i756.photobucket.com/albums/xx208/sjhiscocks/20121228_115813.jpg http://i756.photobucket.com/albums/xx208/sjhiscocks/20121228_115819.jpg http://i756.photobucket.com/albums/xx208/sjhi...

used a s3 rear axle in a s2

Hi i need a complete rear axle for a s2 2+2 and i have a few questions.

how much would i expect to pay for a complete s2 unit?

i understand a s3 unit is 4" wider, if i narrows the shafts and lower arms will the rest of the unit fit? or is it totally different?

thanks,

Steve

On closer look, given the missing bits and pieces, seems to me obvious that the original title of this shell (surely a LHD, US import delivered in a 20' container) is now accompanying a running restored car. Pete, the ebay item you indicate is stated to belong to a RHD. the shell is rhd though.. at...

I am assuming that there is no V35. Do you have the engine frames? Otherwise can you see any crayon markings on the inside bulkhead or rear door? The factory often did this to keep body panels of each car together. Hi, I have the engine frames but there are no markings on them not even on the pictu...
