well with the driver project having come to an end i thought it be a good idea to start on the G60. The idea is to have a 16VG60 Edition One by the end of march next year. I am really worried i will get things wrong so i have labeled every single electrical connection, and bagged and tagged every single nut, bolt and washer. All the nuts and bolts will be replaced with stainless steel ones or zinc plated were i cant get replacments. engine has been pulled (my mate thought it would look good with a audi employee in the pic) :roll: most of the interior is out along with the dash and the front suspension is in bits. Currently colllecting all the bits that need cleaning, blasting and powdercoating to get the rolling front chassis put together so i can turn the car around and do the back end, when all thats done it will go off to be repaired and paint. will keep you all updated

Say , is that a genuine OEM audi employee in that pic ? :lol:

lmao! good goin dude! looks like u got ur head screwed on with the lable things goin on.... i always put them in a pot.. and end up with either few left over, or need more! :lol: :lol: good luck with it all.. and i know u will.. but ill say it again... keep us posted fella! :D

Cheers dude Good news though, the car is booked into the body shop for thursday the 1st of october 2009 I have parts going to the powdercoaters next tuesday so i can rebuild the front end. The engine bay is fully stripped of wax and most seam sealer, and has a fresh coat of acid8 etch primer. Picked up more bits from VW too, word of warning, if anyone is thinking of changing the gearbox end crank seal you will be shocked. over £85 from the stealers. so i bought one Completely stripped the starter motor down and prepped the metal work for paint, renewed the brushes, painted the metal work, left to dry, re assembled. and it looks amazing. pics soon. Need help too any idea where i can get a mk2 bonded windscreen from cheers y'all

pass on the screen dude! :( sorry! but nice work as it sounds ! ! ! pics for the win!

Not a good evening found this but managed to finish the engine bay also picked these up from the blasters and my home recon'd starter motor Also had the guy thats painting the car round to have a proper look at the motor, pretty sure he can blow my socks off with the end result, sounds reassuring. off to VW agian tomorrow to pick up VR6 sachs clutch, brand new door seals, HT lead guide tube, and all manner of parts to rebuild the gear selector tower. think i need therepy. thanks for looking

haha! sweet dude! sweet! bad news on the rust! but it will be gon soon enough! :) them parts look good! nice one ! ! keep the updates coming! intreeeeeeged to fuk! :D

Well i had a good day yesterday. Before my car came off the road to be stripped down a problem developed with the ABS system, like it wern't working. I stripped it down to find the cable feeding the motor on the pump had become broken from the terminal of the motor. Some solder and a test across the terminals from a battery and it worked. yeehaa next i saved myself a few quid by rebuilding the clutch master cylinder, found nothing wrong at all, so painted, lubed and rebuilt. all ok. I managed to deliver all the parts i had sandblasted to the powdercoaters about 11am. Then to my surprise the guy called me at 5pm to say all my stuff was ready to pick up, said its because he new i only had one day off, sweet. Front chassis rebuild on the cards soon.

OOOOOOFFFFFFFF!!!!! :safesex:
