So i've been a bit lazy with the updates!
I had a friend visiting a couple of weeks ago, so we decided to do some work on the engine.
My mate cleaned up the pistons and fitted the rods, while i installed the crank shaft into the block:
We then set about installing the pistons/rods:
We stopped there, as i didnt have any of the gaskets required to do any more.
I've since done nothing else to it, but the gaskets are on order, so more progess with that shortly.
I've also baught a flywheel from a 2.0 Audi Coupe, which i'm going to have redrilled to take a 240mm pressure plate (will detail this more in a bit):
This weekend i've been trying to get the car back onto its wheels, so ordered another pair of eagles and dropped them into the garage on saturday to get them mounted. Will be thursday before i collect.
Today i set about putting the suspension and front brakes back together, as well as some other niggles with the front end.
First off the washer bottle was split and the nearside front wing stabilising brackets were bent, so i dug out a spare bottle i had from a PFL car and compared them:
Bit different, but mounting points were the same so on it went. I discovered one of the stabilising brackets touched the bottle, so reshaped the bracket with the hammer. Streightened out the other bracket and bolted it all back together:
Rebuilt the front suspension, bolted the brake disks and pads back in along with braided flexis:
The car also had been equipped with a very early '96 offside front wing, i happened to have a facelift wing in black already (i'd baught it to upgrade my old FWD A4, but sold the car before i'd got round to installing them) so i fitted that while i was at it:
