It is rare, you dont get them in RHD without roof rail, I've yet to see one yet.

RHD?

I see a lot of German RS2 without roof rail
I searching for they and I put they here.

It has been a long time since I wrote here

Anyhow... the car has been in a garage for the last 6 months.
As its almost summer I have to get it running again. It´s itching alot in my right foot
A couple weeks ago me and a friend took out the engine for some minor overhaul and to fix a a nasty oil leak from the oilpan. Broken gasket I think...
Whilst the engine is out I orderd some new stuff for the car.

Engine mounts, gearbox mounts, diff mounts and strut mounts from 034 motorsport
New cambelt, waterpump, and a couple of new gaskets etc etc.

Not going fast over here, but some new stuff arrived yesterday

A rather large box from Dahlback


KW v3 and some other sweet stuff



Also painted some bits a while ago



And a bonus pic. I played around a little bit with Andreas camera

[lind4hl]

Niice work, K&W´s V3 aint cheap!

some questions for you,

where did you get hold of the wrinkle paint and the roof spoiler

(change the front diff mount when you´re having it done btw )

[maniac]

Thanks lindahl

Got the v3´s from dahlback for the same price as for the KW v2. So I went for the V3´s, a bit overkill but I couldn't resist

The paint I got from mekonomen and the roof spoiler I don´t know since it was on the car when I bought it.

Yeah I forgot the front mount for the rear diff, if it´s what you mean. I´m gonna check with cp-s, hope they have it.

Right now prosty is rebuilding my bottom end. Cheers man!
The old block was in a really bad shape.
Also I´m currently waiting for my new cylinder head. The old one had cracks all over the place

Hopefully I can take the car for a spin i a couple of weeks

If you continue on as you have now you surely will! perhaps it's time to move this thread to the projects section? <:

[lind4hl]

have mekonomen wrinkle paint? :O great thanks for the reply

cp-s can take it home from 034 i think.. or just buy straight from 034?

i had only 1 minor crack in my head that doesent need to be repaired

[maniac]

Lucky you boo hoo

Yeah sorta, you have to make them order the wrinkle paint to you @ mekonomen

[Jamo]

We want new pics!

[maniac]

Not so much to show really, and no car shots yet. I´ve been a lazy *** latley
I bet Andreas is starting his sedan before me


Here is the most recent pics of the engine rebuild anyhow
Engine almost done. Bottom end built by prosty - thanks mate



AAN cylinderhead. Waay better then the old one.



Btw Jamo, if you want you could move this thread to the projects section

[trevithick]

Cheers

I started working with the car again. Havent done anything since last summer


This is how she looks like now. 1,5 years of dust and filth. Rear suspention down for some overhaulin.



Going to grind of some rust and dirt and paint with Por15



New and shiny bushings




Motor ready to go in to the car again Eriksson´s coupe in the background

[Jamo]

Looking good! can I make this a sticky yet? I know you were shy about it last time

One thing the cambelt looks a little slack?

[maniac]

Yup I haven´t tightened the bolts to the tensioner yet
