My Audi S2 coupè Version 2 - full restore - Red rocket from Norway

[kinaputt]

Nice plan with that engine. Looking forward to that.

But how did you hurt your hand?

For about 9 weeks a go i cut my finger at a bar, at the window where the billiard balls are..... the last weekend in the easter.
And for about 3 weeks the tendon snapped in my finger when i grabbed a fence while jumping over it. So i guesse the tendon was damaged and half way broken when i cut my self at the glass/window.

I hope you had heals soon! Your making amazing progress with the project anyway. Its looking ace..

Good luck with your recovery!

[Val]

yeah, underseal is pain in the @#%^@%@
I'm using simple non electrical tools to remove it.

I wish you quick recovery so you could continue your work.

[kinaputt]

You have some work left aswell i see
Takes ages to get it off, and then the rust apears...

Thank you both for the consideration.

Some bad pictures...


Bought some Treser / seima lights, cleaned and polished!


I tryed some 1-hand soda blasting this weekend!




Still some primer left.



I think i have to weld in this nut to get the oil plug out off the rear diff.



I also ordered some parts at the local dealer. 2 new front fenders, the left back fender and 4 door hinges! ++ They cost an arm and a leg!

I bet they did, but on the bright side you wont have any door drop

Be careful if you use sand for blasting, dont get silica based sand, its very bad for your lungs.
Glass / garnet is the way to go if you need more bite.

I use garnet for steel and industrial soda / baking powder for the aluminium parts

Having fun with Iron X




Wheels ready for fixing the edges and paint with powder coat.


Medie blasted parts.


The last wheel housing nearly done!


This is how the "car" looks now

Small update.

I got my hands on a new rear apron from Audi Tradition in Germany:


The lady where i picket up the package laughed at me when i tryed to put this in my
VW Bora...




Plugs for the floor and the floor mats


Done the heavy bit of the manually scraping with a heatgun in the wheel housing.



Now i am waiting for a bodyshop guy to start changing some panels

[kinaputt]

I cut off this flange:


I did this to get better space for 3.5" exhaust and downpipe

And welded ( as best as i could ) and grinded down the weld.


I bought a windows seal for the tail lights
This was a P-shape so i cut off 2mm to make it a D-shape and it fits perfectly!


I think it looks great!


Its foam and glu on the back side of the seal.

[kinaputt]

I have donated this to the trash! I am going to use " grip tape " on the pedals


Dissasembly the steering rack. Does anyone know where i can buy parts so i can get a faster steering ratio?


I have bought this for my RS2 instrument cluster.


And black RS2 replica blinkers, (its protecting plastic on them on the pickture)

[kinaputt]

I've bin trying to disassembly my rear diff and steering rack.


With alot of torx on the umbraco heads i got the side cover off!






What now? How do i take out the rest of the parts from the diff?


And i installed the carbon look alike cover in the instrument housing.




How do i take out this? Do i have to take out the clip in the end first? And take out the steering "axle" first?
