Audi A4 BAT - Quattro Project by Tom's Garage

[Zic]

Great work man.

[mgpdoc]

Some more progress from today .

It was mostly about final prepping of the body for paint, and painting the doors. in between I found the time to tackle some other little things, that needed my attention.

Like this. The IC. Which was tired looking

Here is a kind of 50:50 I did while cleaning it



I also cleaned the Mocal Oil Cooler



Good to go



Now, like I said, doors were painted



Here they are





Now where did that mark of their widening go . . .



Nope



Cant see it



Doors outside the paint booth - Yummy . . .



Now another thing I wanted to do was the following. Let me guide you through the photos

Removed the wheels - the Audi and the VW one



Leaving the car like this for a while





Before







During









And finally, afterwards, wrinkled/textured black







I know it is someone, no one will even know, or notice, however I am very glad it came out that way

I also started bolting parts on the car parts, getting ready for things to come







Sneaky pic of bumper with grille



Cheers, more to come tomorrow, hopefully, more paint.

Love this build! Cant wait to see it painted!

So where were we . Oh yes. More bodyshop work done.

Let me put things in order. These days have mostly been about sanding and checking, sanding and then checking again, to achieve the perfect finish.
Both for the eye, but mostly for the hand.











Getting there







minimum amount of filler used, due to great bodywork, and I am very happy about that



Car prepped for primer







Now where did that fuel cap go . . . seriously . . .





I know it was here somewhere . . .



Nope, nowhere



Doors were also prepped



And primered



Ready for paint tomorrow



Given the chance, I decided to clean all the locking systems of the car

Rear ones



50:50





Happy with how they turned out like new

More to come tomorrow





Cheers

Cheers, and thanks for the feedback.
I couldnt agree more on most of the things you said. Glad you enjoy it, most of all.

I'd seen progress shots here and there on Audizine and was thrilled to find this build thread! Some things are a little over the top for my taste, but I can appreciate the work going into this car.

With the B7 RS4 being my favorite Audi body style you've got me hooked! I really admire the quality of work going into the conversion. You can tell these guys take a lot of pride in what they're doing!

That wide body packed with a 2JZGTE is a great recipe for a uniquely awesome car! I wouldn't mind that combination over a showroom stock RS4 at all!

I accept your being honest, really do. But I would do them again without a second thought

Cheers

@ Spartanium: Chill out dude LoL

you should cut the bumper entirely and do a massive diffuser!

Really like this build, but i really think you fucked up that rear bumper with those crazy holes. That being said, cant wait to see everything mounted back in place
