Loving this project, so jealous you have the time, resources and skill to do this! :cool:

I don't think I've ever actually broken my car, it's broken on it's own accord.  :grin:

Shady you're a liar... :grin:

This was no leak, this was me being an ass and pulling it off, thus breaking it in the process. Fuel went places.  :sad:

And what about this.....

awesome work! that wiring scares the sh!t out of me!!

I'm still having nightmares about it  :shocked: :shocked: :shocked:


You've said what you're going to do and you're doing it, I like the fact that there's no waiting around with this, unlike some... :lipsrsealed:


@Bd - great work so far! This car is going to be awesome when it's done! :smiley:

Thanks


You've never had enough chance shoddy :D
@ bd, how did ya get on when re lining the headlining? Just checked mine and it's all breaking up, bit sure whether it will make it harder?

It will make it harder & it could start to sag after a while as it will keep breaking up behind the new lining.
You will be better off removing the bits that are breaking & then re lining or by another one  :smiley:
f**k off.  :grin:

BD, where's the next set of pictures??!

Next set of pictures will be up later on today  :cool:

Working during the day on customers cars & then the evening is my time for me to work on golf, until very late times  :sick: takes it out me but I will keep it up until this one is completed

A lot has gone on since last up date, the engine is back out again & loom has been re run behind the dash & through the chassis legs. What  MISSION that was
















I had to get my snap on video scope to see in side the chassis leg, hiding the loom has taken up so much time you wont under stand & what makes it worse is that I am running a lot more in the engine bay than the mk3 set up.

I could of made my life easier & not used or got rid of a lot things like washer bottle sensor, heated washer jets & so on but that would of been to easy
























Lamda sensor wires run under the carpet through a conveniently placed grommet under the drivers floor













Spot the fro  OH NO IT's TIED UP












Mk3 wiper assembly & motor





The plug is different from the S3 one so this also had to be changed






I have removed the alternator + wire so that I can put a bigger one in for the I.C.E




We found an old inter cooler in the workshop from a 2009 audi A4 2.0 tdi which we fitted an up graded one to, so I know this one is mint.
Placed it under the mk3 slam pannel & it looks like it could work













All I need to do now is trim the front bumper reinforcer mount it & see if I can get some inter cooler pipes & silicone hoses to it  I some for my subaru which are blue which I will use on here for now & then get something a different colour later, may be white or black ?????

I didn't end up finishing the car for the blitz, I was tired & we had loads of customers that turned up Friday & Saturday.
We still went down to both shows & what a day we had, very tiring but awesome.


 

Oh well at least now I can finish it all before it comes out, next deadline has been set which is DC11
I have about a  month to complete the hole project.

List

Finish smooth engine bay
Inter cooler & piping
Exhaust
Body work ??? may be a repaint or a wrap ??? I dont know yet but I want to stay with arches.
I.C.E
That is it I think.

Next up date coming up later on today.

We have mocked it up & it looks like a very good but tight fit, bumper does look normal once fitted up.
