It helped with drawings on the electric stuff .. but one more qoestion .. can you measure the the postive 12v cable that goes to the fan .. what size it is ? If you can measure o the wire .. not on inusulation .. im installing a pwm on mine ,, so i can controll the fan better .. i dont have the original 12v cable.

According to the wiring schematics the wire cross section for the radiator fan is 6mm2

The parts are back from from the sandblasting so it was time to give them a coat of paint. The primer was applied by the sand blasting company and I gave them a top coat of industrial polyurethane paint. I had to improvise a painting rack from an engine crane, folding ladder and a piece of wood

It's getting a little crowded inside now

It's again been a long time since the last post. I have been scraping off the underseal with a multitool, then using a wirewheel to remove anything that got left from the scraping. Then I sandblasted all the spots that had rust. The oe coating was also sanded to help the adhesion of the epoxy primer. It has been a major job to get the chassis to this stage


The route I will be taking next:
Epoxy primer
Cavity wax for all cavities
3M 08800
Stone chip coating for wheel arches
Underseal



Sorry for the bad quality picture. The camera on my phone has seen better days Propably have to buy a new one to get decent pics for this thread.

Dedication!

[Antsa]

Thank you sir! Sometimes it feels that a little less dedication would finish this project someday

[Antsa]

Bit of a milestone today, underside has epoxy primer on. Looks much better now

Nice. Well done

[Antsa]

Bought myself all the things needed for the underside. New chassis bungs weren't exactly cheap from Audi

All the cavities were waxed

After that all the bungs were put back in. Hopefully tomorrow I can spray the 3M 08800

Man i'd love to give my my car this treatment some day.
Can you confirm that is Sikagard 6470 and not 6440 you're using there? It's difficult to see clearly in the above pic.

[Antsa]

Sikagard 6470 is what I have

[Antsa]

08800 sprayed and seam sealer applied. I didn't make much effort to make the sealer look nice. I just laid down a bead and leveled with finger. I've seen guys at the Bad Obsession Motorsport (Project Binky) to wipe all the excess sealer off with a wet rag and it makes super smooth looking seams.

Next the wheel arches will receive stone chip coating and the rest underbody protection.

Stonechip and underbody protection sprayed, that's the chassis underside pretty much completed

I have order one shield from tradition and paint the main support before I can start fitting the fuel tank. After that I will be making some fuel lines and brake lines. The engine also needs to be taken apart and measured.
