UrS6 Saloon restoration

[Wrath]

Varsity: hehe looked at your garage and it seem like your S6 saloon is in very nice condition, any thread about that one?

[Varsity]

And I thought my S6....s were treated well!!

When can I drop one of mine off for the same treatment?

[Wrath]

Yeah of course you could as long you acid dip everything at first, but if its rusty it look like poo then you need to sandblast it and it gets a matt finish with no gloss. EBC sells these zinkplated discs, you may have seen them as they are black or yellow, but its very thin, only 8-25 my

[Thuppu]

Ok, thats great. Should coat everythig, struts, brake discs etc...

[Wrath]

Very well , they do a special zinkplating for vehicle and such

[Thuppu]

Very nice! How well should it hold against corrosion?

[Wrath]

Have got all my screws/washers and nuts from the Zink plating Company now... also the wheel hubs and they look amazing Also Thomas called me and told me that the rest of the chassie was done and powder coated.
Left it to my buddy today so he can press the new wheel bearings then I will be making the Porsche adapter plates and then he will be getting them back to install the Bilstein shocks A little sneek peek what the color theme will be in the engine:



The front and rear struts didn't see the camera light as they where wrapped and left at my buddy, also everything else to the suspension where left... but I've got one picture from the painter earlier on:



Here are some picture of the Zink plating, choosed black this time on everything, they also have yellow and silver, the wheel hubs got a matt finish to them as they where media blasted but that I already knew and doesn't matter, just wanted a rust protection on them total it cost me around 40£ for 4pc wheel bearing hubs, 42 pc bolts/washers and nuts and Thuppus brake adapters.









That´s just one out of 3 bags The struts got reaaally nice and looks like the swaybar picture I uploaded earlier...

I hope to start the assembly soon, just got injured in the back on Monday so nothing will happen this week/weekend I guess

It's still gone over my head.

This is a refection on me.

Also in a hurry this morning, but happy that I haven't offended anyone and everything is all good.

We should let Wrath's great thread get back on topic.

I don't understand your post above ?

I asked Wrath to photograph the bags of the new parts he bought if he could. if not, no problem.

He didn't post the photos, but he took the trouble to post the list of part numbers with the corresponding kate diagrams, which is also still helpful to urS6 owners.

So as mentioned, I don't get the significance of your post, as my comments to UrS4Boy in the UrS6 battery under the seat thread was not in any way the same scenario as my posts in this thread.

Mac,Just so you can understand me, as there was no problem,i was just having a laugh.I will try again.

Mac.... my post refered to your request and i quote you " If you can, could you take photos of the new bits with their respective part numbers? Would be great for all of us URS6 owners" I know you like pictures of the bits and parts like we all do.

Wrath replied "Here you go, I haven't all parts at home so I can´t take pictures of them and I don´t want to either " Understand now mac?

You didn't ask could he photograph the (bags) of the new parts you actually said " could you take photos of the new bits with their respective part numbers ?the phrase you used was Bits and that reads parts, it doesn't read bags.

The International diplomacy bit was in reference to wraths reply "I haven't all parts at home so I can´t take pictures of them and I don´t want to either " there is the significance and the funny side of it. You only wrote yesterday in response to mine and others empathy regarding the URS4 interior fire and i quote you when you responded to URS4boy that he needed to be more tolerant of us lesser mortals.

Mac, I guess it's gone straight over your head and you have completely missed it!
There are suttelties in there that i thought you would get/understand.

So when you write "I don't get the significance of your post" Now that i have spelled it out, i hope it's all clear.


And just to be clear this is nothing at all or in any way a slight on wraths superb posts on here

[macspring]

Whoa.....That's a bit strong Mac.Reminds me something about diplomatic international relations....remember?? It looks like blowing smoke actually reduces the chances of a really good post then.Shame really as i like his posts

Here you go, I haven't all parts at home so I can´t take pictures of them and I don´t want to either But I've took some Picture of the etka catalogue and added a picture of the parts that I bought, red = haven't ordered, green = bought parts, blue = n/a but similar part

First one is screws for the prop shaft, didn't know if it was 6 or 8 again the diff so I ordered 8





The valvecover is going to be great with Arons carbon valve plug cover and camcover, hopefully I´ll get hold of the airbox cover and injector cover as well...

[Wrath]

Wow, nice!

Thanks, they also have it in black !

[Thuppu]

Wow, nice!

The electric zink treatment is really good for a better corrosion value or how you explain it, every steel piece is treatable and if it´s aluminium you use a anodizing method, Was thinking of doing the whole chassie but I like powdercoat more

http://www.danod.se/ is the Company and http://www.danod.se/bilder.htm is a picture site of some jobs they made. Used this company for some Öhlins shocks that I had on a previous car that I had. Black, Yellow(gold) and chrome finish is avaible. And the price is awesome... Think i paid 30£

Don´t have the bags for everything that I bought anymore but have made a list in a word document that I can attach later...

The valvecover is finished and the smurf blue will disappear



Powder coat (Desert red wrinkle)
