Starting this thread for madwolf
Well alot of you know about madwolf's purchasing of dest/johnnyboy's avant
And his desire to turn it into a redneck pickup s2 truck
Well that idea has died a death for the time being after alot of complaining by people and alot of telling him it ain't worth the hassle even tho I went as far as getting quotes for the work from a fellow forum member.
Well thanks to Sal for helping to bring the car down to my lockup in Swindon from Ely in Cambridge and helping to offload the car from a pallet before taking my ur quattro up for spraying. We managed to do that in around half hour/fourty five minutes.
Well I started having a look around the car this week because Gary wasn't able to get down to do it himself, there was quite a lot included in the deal for the shell but a few things that he's chasing up about currently. After moving it around in my lockup ready for him to turn up this weekend we had a proper look at what we had.
Well after getting everything out the car we had a quick look and its obvious there's still quite a lot missing from the car that we need but most things I either have or can source quite easily.
I managed to get gary to get all the water out the inside of the car and its cleaned up quite nicely inside but i'm waiting for him to upload the rest of the pictures
some before
I also got him to source the following bits:
Rear subframe
sideskirts
battery tray (we've since found another one in the car)
Pearl blue s2 front bumper - i've told him someone who has one
Rear hubs from a 2.8 q saloon - i've told him where to source these
Dash - couple in my lockup but not mine
fusebox - same as above
parts I already have for him:
Rear bumper
Sunroof cartridge and panel
aero wipers from my ex s2
complete interior loom from an avant I had lying around in a couple of bags
probably more i've forgotton
Bits we have:
full front/rear suspension
all door trims
front/rear seats (waiting to hear about door cards)
crossmember (wrong colour)
Donor car for the engine and anything else we need
diff
gearbox
strut brace
full interior loom
abs unit
plus loads of other bits
oil cooler - this will be used on the new lump
aero wiper for the boot lid.
90 rear panel
The most annoying bits that will hold the project up as far as I can see will be funds (Gary's not mine) and trying to find nuts/bolts etc to fit the whole car where we don't have these supplied.
We've started on it today and just had a big clearout of the car to see whats in it and what we still require, so far we've got the car emptied out and dried out, managed to fit some panels to the car, used my loom and seperated it into the five small looms, 3 of which are fine 2 of which need some tidying due to alarms etc. We've already fitted all the abs loom since that was the first sepearated and it all fitted in and is done now ready to be connected to the diff lock plug and the abs sensors so its nearly there, one loom down.
We also fitted a lot of the smaller bits just so they are actually on the car and not laying around getting damaged.
When Gary gets on and sorts out and uploads some more pictures I will upload them. Hopefully the car should not be too much problems, we've got most items as mentioned and the donor car for the engine and a few other little small bits.
