Andy raises the bar again! nice work sir

[S2 EDS]

Good work Andy!

For sure, it looks very tidy

Nice, makes so much more sense for fuel line routing, rather than over the exhaust twice!

And it's a shorter route so less money on pipework

After doing this mod on my S2 I would suggest it to all members for a future upgrade it just makes so much more sense....

Very nice
How come you are fitting the fuel pressure gauge? Do you have an adjustable regulator or just to keep an eye on it?

Just to keep an eye on it really, plus I have a triple gauge pod in the top vents with a spare spot

Very nice! You must have spent a penny or two on an fittings on this project!

Block is now with JP for the final machining to be done so I've got a couple of weeks to get the rest of the car finished.

Started by making a brkt for terminating the new fuel lines in the engine bay and to hold the sensor for the fuel pressure gauge I'm going to add to the dash.



Fitted in place with a lick of paint


Made another brkt to bolt onto what I think is the old Procon 10 moutning points


2nd fuel line added and secured.


Just got to secure the fuel lines under the car and then hook them up to the new fittings on the tank.

Great progress!

Drive round and find a vacant house, they have free wheelie bins

Good plan, it'll fit in the back of the A6! If you don't hear from me for a few days, I'll have been arrested for bin-knapping

The pillar trims were covered in some fake Alcantara I got from Ebay, they were easy to do but the headlining turned out to be a nightmare, I had a couple of goes before giving up and getting it flocked! I'll put some pics on at the weekend.

The paint was just regular Satin black car paint from Halfords, I just scuffed up the plastic first and then de-greased them, primed and top coat.

Thanks for that. Yea I am after spending the last two evenings removing the old material from my headliner. And I am still not done. The foam remnants just turn into super sticky yellow balls As for my plastics I am going in another direction... its a secret

[AndyP]

Got the cut out done to mount the timing sensors



Also drilled and tapped the mounts for the knock sensors



Then called in a favour to get the coolant socket hole drilled and counter bored



The block is almost ready to go back to JP for all the important bit of machining to be done.

Just trying to work out how I can steal next doors wheelie bin to make a soak tank for it, any ideas Alex??

[AndyP]

Just having a look back through this thread, and was wondering what material you used for the pillar trim, and what black paint you used?

Thanks
