S3 Winter rebuild plans

Hi Everyone,

I'm after some advice on what to do with my S3 over its winter layup, the car has a 1600 pinto which I'm reliably informed is from a mk2 Mexico, it's quite smokey on start up and after being at idle.....my original thoughts were to rebuild and tune this engine but should I look to put a 2000 pinto in instead.

I would like to strip and rebuild the front suspension and brakes as I think it needs it, any thoughts?

The shocks I have on there are adjustable (not sure what they are) but they are wound right up and its as stiff as anything to the point of shaking the wee wee in my bladder I don't expect luxury far from it but it does seem a bit too stiff. as for the rear what shocks should I fit, the car has leaf springs at present....5 link in the future.

Any advice would be appreciated

Cheers

Nev
