And now the engine bay and boot is painted it was time to put a guide coat on the car .









Well that's all for now but progress is moving fast and ill update soon .

Right the after Ish and the boys at quattrocoachwork got the body work where it needs to be it was in to the wings and after taking them back to bare metal we discovered quite abit of perished metal .

So we had a chat about the best course of action to repair the original wings or by a pair of wings from Audi tradition so we opted to buy the wings at 500 euros each and I had read that they are not a perfect fit but Ish advised they will be ok and he could make them fit ok .





And a week late they turned up



And as soon as they did I picked them up and took them down to Ish and the boys so they could get cracking .

And after a couple of days I popped down on the weekend to drop some bits and bobs off and to have a look at the car as Ish had to along gate every hole on the wings as none of them lined up with the original bolt holes so he could get it some where like .

And as I was down he put me to good use as his lackey as he wanted to drop the doors on and start to play around with the wings and the doors to het the gaps right .

And after a day playing around we decided these wings from Audi tradition are nothing like the original ones in turms of fitment so we started to measure the wings like for like and they were out buy 6mm in some places .

So I asked what could be done with my original wings and he said I can cut the corroded bits out your original ones and use the new ones to make good the original ones buy wielding the pieces on to your old wings so you retain your perfect panel gaps so I said do what ever needs doing .















So after a day of wielding Ish trial fitted the wings and all the gaps were perfect .












So after Ish was happy with it it was time for a quick skim and to get it in acid etch primer and high build primer .

A small update my car is now relocated to quattrocoachwork due to poor quality of work carred out on my car .


Out sode quattrocoachwork


Ill update more when photo bucket stops pissing about .

Right then after several months of lack of progress and shoddy work man ship I decided to contact Ish at quattrocoachwork to see if he could fit me in to his heavy work load a Finnish my car to a show standard like Jp's urs6 (what a epic car in the flesh).
After 3 weeks or so he phone me to say he could have the car but its will not get started for some time .
And that was good enof for me to get what was left of my car picked up and taken down to Ish .
So I collected all my bits up that I had been buying over 9 months or so and get them in safe hands .
After about 20 minits of looking throw all my parts and my engine I had bought that had been rebuilt ready to fit from a forum member turned out to be a dog .
3 of the 5 pistons had chunks missing out the top.
Bores not honed properly.
Unbalanced bottom end.
And on internal inspection one broken piston ring .
So Jp was drafted in to build me a engine that will stand up to some abuse and good for 500+ bhp .

So on to the car now a small list of defects .
Engine bay
Paint was full of **** as it was painted in a dusty inviroment .
Passagers side inner wing had a huge sag in the paint .
Under the front panel was untouched with paint .
Behind the front panel was missed allso .

Rear panel
It had a rear panel fitted but it was not fitted square so when fitting the boot the gaps was awfull so it was cut out and fitted square .
Under side of the panel was not ground back after wielding and sealed and was full of rust

Wheels arches
The wheel arches were shutz but not cleaned properly and after some mild rubbing buy hand it was falling off with the dry mud behind it .

Now on to some good it's Cretaceous of Ish and his work force and Jp.

Some of the engine so far .













And on to the car


Tunnel done for 6 speed s2 box





















That's it for now hope you enjoy as much as I am now seeing it progress .

Going to be a stunning Ur when finished John Some nice bits in your parts collection. Will be interesting to see power & torque outputs / differences from our engines. Mind I'm gutted about those 034 coils you beat me to..

Also going to send you a PM with some info

[jsws3]

There will be some fabrication work ie intercoolers and all the plumbing work water oil lines but I'm hoping it will make it to edition38 .

But it's not being painted panther black its going phantom black so it's going to look stunning .

Then comes the worrying bit, trying to put it back together without damaging fresh paint. btdt, how long do you reckon it will take you to do it and are you doing it yourself or someone else?

be good to see it on the road, will you be going to any shows

[jsws3]

If all goes well the car will be painted week after next the underside is being painted and in the boot as well .

[djh]

So whens the car getting put back together?
