building a sportquattro

[Jeffer]

The drysump drive pulley is a gilmer tooth pulley. The pulley on the drysump pump is also a gilmer tooth pulley. So these use a diferent belt type then the timing belt. The Gilmer drive pully will be machined quite substantially to be mounted on the cranckshaft and bolted on the timing belt pulley. This is how the 2 weheels will be connected. The camshaft pully has nothing to do with the drysump system.

Jeff. It looks amazing. I love what you are doing with the drysump. I like the s2forum version of the SQ project. You have been neglecting MG as of late. Good looking IM!

[Jeffer]

Thanks man Hope everyhing works out in the end. I'm often on Motorgeek but i like the S2forum more

When are you hoping to finish it Jeffry?

[Jeffer]

as soon as possible Doug. I'm now at a point that I want to drive it, and no more welding!!

[G60Rallye]

The amount of welding you have to do on these things is crazy! Its also horrible to weld in some places, seems to have some sort of coating on the metal!

Hopefully when both our cars are finished we can have a race!

[Jeffer]

Indeed the welding is a real b*tch on these cars. You really have to clean everything miticulously before you put your welding helmet on. I've pulled my hair on this couple of times. Also make sure there is nu underbody coating nearby. When this is burnt it attracts moist. And the whole lot will rot like hell. I've had to replace a prior good piece of steel. This was rotten through within a year after welding :S
I'm so happy I'm on the home stretch with welding.
We sure need to have a mini meet with all the SQ's that are now on this forum.

I welded in a new panel under the front window. The old one had substantial rust on it. That also gave me the perfect oppertunity to weld in the rolcage struts to the firewall. After that I've put on epoxy primer. Looks nice and clean now

[Acidburn]

Looking like quite a bit of progress with it now, soon your be deciding what colour you'd like it to be in

[DJ-ROY]

Looks clean with that primer on there

[Jeffer]

Its 90% covered in primer. Next stage is to mount to panels and roof permanently.

[Jeffer]

A new update:

Roof and rear panels are riveted and glued. Everything is primered and the underbody is coated with 3M.

Looking good Jeffer

So when do you think you'll have it finished?

[Jeffer]

Thanks Hopefully somewhere this summer. Looking forward to receive it back from the paintshop in a few weeks
