Might not do you much good. As far as I remember the rear drain is inside the rear wheel arch. Which at this moment in time is covered by the liner.

Thanks Eric. ("Eric the Mad")

It looks like a hose just behind the rear tyre. No?

[irishs2]

Thats the filler cap drain.

The sunroof drain is on the right , if we had bladerunner technology we could rotate the point of view inside the arch

Thanks for the follow-up Eric. I am cross posting your answer in my Sunroof drain post.

I bet you'd forgotten about the rust you've resolved by now Eric? Or are those scars slow to heal?

[irishs2]

You know, I was looking through those old photos trying to find one that might do the trick for Dave , and just had that bad 'rust' feeling come back . So the scars are healed but I am still a bit tender

So am I, 5 years later

So am I, 5 years later

That was probably from grinder injuries

No that was The Mad Mutt aka Mr Dremel

Just readed thrue all 30 pages, and all this stuff you have done, its amazing! Really love the attention to detail, and all the small parts. Youre doing it exactly the way i wanna do it, but im a bit more laid back, hard to get started! And btw, all these rust pictures inn the begining, makes me feel happy about my s2 avant, hehe.

When you put the battery in again, remebere to put the hose frome the battery vent to outside the car (Along with the roof vent hose). On mine it have been taked off, and sometime the battery have toped off... And heres how it gonna look like then!


Anyways, i have subscribed. Cant wait for next update!

Edit:

What did you do to the handle to fit the 3B light panel? Ive mounting this panel on my audi 80 tdi avant to, and tryed to get it thighted up, but still its a bit to much play. How did you fix this?

[irishs2]

Thanks very much. and good point about the battery, That looks quite the shocker. .

What is interesting is that your roof drain is over that vent where mine was inside the wheel arch under the arch liner.
Discussed here http://www.s2forum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=70931

What year is your avant? I am curious when Audi made the change.

[Gimmi]

My car is a 1993. Not sure about wich month, but can find it out if its interesting. But i dont got a sunroof either.
I got a mid 1994 audi 80 avant to, with sunroof. Im gonna check where it is there.

Just replyed this last ninja edit from last post, if you missed it hehe

I should put a thread up here on my car to, the knowledge in here its pretty high! Gonna take me time to do it very soon

[irishs2]

I replaced the "cushion" spring on the handle with a small nut (acting as a washer) and tightened the screw . That is all I did.

hope that helps.

[Gimmi]

Aah now i see! Ill fix that bloody thing tomorow, so anoying. Thanks!!

Ok, trying again to get back into the swing of things.
Just a few little jobs to get started. I decided to reattach the sill covers and trim.











The black clips are the usual RS4 ones to replace the NLA S2 ones.


Sorry about the poor pics, will have my usual camera back next time.


I also had occasion to see the rear of the car in sunshine. Getting quite excited



I also decided to fit the flywheel and clutch. New bolts for the flywheel and refurbished bolts for the pressure plate. Next up is reattach the gearbox and offer it up to the car.

Looksing good mate. Make sure you load up on carbs for a few days before you fit the box
