My 95 S2 Avant Project. LZ5T Coolness

[quattrostyle]

Didn't the earlier cars have the difflocks on the dash?

If you mean type 85 quattro's then yes. There have been 3 evolutions IIRC:
1. Two pull buttons to engage center and rear diff in the first urq and 80 quattro
2. One turn button to engage center diff on stage 1 and both diffs at stage 2 in later urq and coupe and 90 quattro
3. Push button to engage rear diff like in the S2 on special edition and 20V urq.

Ok, enough playing around with LEDs, back to the nuts and bolts.

Got some time to work on the engine over the last few nights.




Did a bit of playing with the zinc plating






tommisbillet lower pully with diamond washer and key.











Replaced the flametrap.




New seals on the water Manifold



Recon turbo thanks to mcandmar.


New MFTS among other new sensors

Coming together nicely.




Almost there now.


And a little teaser of whats to come

Awesome, the engine looks fantastic Eric
Did you buy a zinc plating kit or get them done? Your blaster is certainly paying for itself

and the paint......what colour?

1. Early URs had 2 levers on the floor, with mechanical operation.

2. First year or 2 of WR had a pull swich on the centre console, pulled half way for centre diff and all the way for both diffs. (I have this on my ur)

The other 2 as per your 2 and 3

Thanks, Yea, I was inspired by your yellow cad
I am not very organised, so I am plating as I assemble. After the scare last year with the blaster outfit loosing parts for months I decided to do them myself.
Its copy cad, or zinc chromate. The kit I got was from classic-plating.co.uk.

The colour you see above is just primer. I am keeping original colour. LZ5T

Should have final colour pics in the coming days

The car is due back next weekend.

Won't be long, given your current progress.

You probably wont remember but i asked a few months back if you were going to nickel plate your own nuts and bolts.Glad to see you decided too as your car is looking so like new now!! Thanks for the headsup on the kit you used.
