Had my second garage day yesterday and everything went according to plan I guess, front sub frame was assembled, torqued up and installed to the car, and rear sub frame was taken down and striped, now I just wait for the front struts and rear hubs to get back from the paint shop, only have reeeeally bad pictures from the garage as my real camera always are left behind, I'm going to remember that next time, but everything that´s been painted have the same quality as picture above, just doesn't show up good with my crapy iPhone 3gs (lol-phone). It has a nice dust sealent to it as we speak Will be getting my wheelbearings next week and hopefully my rear caliper will get some paint, have bought new pistons, bleed nipples and new handbrake springs to them aswell. The seals will be reused as they only been in the caliper for 1 year.

Next time the rear suspension will get into place and hopefully the front and rear shocks as well. Also have to order new bolts/wascher and nuts to the rear subframe as it dosent looks so neat to reuse them. The prop shaft was taken down thue to damaged bolts in the joint, some stupid bafoon has damage all of them so new ones has to be installed. After that I can finally get going with the Porsche calipers

I think the chassie itself was in good condition, and not so rusty as I first thought.

Nice to hear that you find some spareparts Have had a change of plan regarding my chassie,
My plan was to have a install this week and just reuse front and rear struts with wheelbearing. (planned to paint them in place with some suited paint )
But that plan I put in the bin. Wheelbearings was pressed out today and tomorrow the struts will go to the painter.

Ordered new Abs collar sleeves or what they are called and new wheelbearing.
Rear caliper was in need of new pistons as well thu to the lack of chrome.
But the shows go on even better

If my front stabilizer look like this:



I don´t think I can paint the struts with a brush and some poo paint

Was reffering to changing a front subframe only and assuming using new antiroll bar bushes.But you could change both struts if you had a pair already built up with new parts. I thought that was why you wanted spare subframes to prep and build up ready for when you do the swap.

Where did you find that? Its the sensible way to go, get it cleaned and painted and bushed up and just do the job all in one day.

Spink on here had one available.

All in one day seems optimistic! Is there a 'how to' guide on replacing an S6 chassis somewhere?

Have found an S6 chassis so will be getting that blasted and painted.

Cant you just buy the whole chassie from a S6 then?

That'd be ideal, but I don't know of one for sale. If I could just reuse the front and rear subframes from the A6 I already have then that'd be great... assuming I can remove them ok!

I need one of these! I've got a 1995 A6 Avant 2.6 V6 to strip - will the chassis parts be the same as the S6?

Cheers,
