Audi A4 BAT - Quattro Project by Tom's Garage

[mgpdoc]

So . . . let's have a proper update, shall we . . .

First of all I managed to source a nice tool for my needs . . . 4700cc can come in handy some times



And with the help of Mopar . . .





This happened





Travelled about 500km (310miles) away from its base





Such a love for petrol this engine . . .



Finally arrived at Dazzle Detailing center, where I would remove everything from the car, for it to go to the bodyshop



Bongo was more than happy to welcome us





Meanwhile, back in my hometown, the trim shop was doing work . . . Here are some pics I took while I was at it



















Cant wait to see the finished product
It is coming awesome so far me thinks

Back to Dazzle, where I lost no time













Car arriving at the bodyshop where I removed the last of the parts to be painted







I also installed emergency spares at the back for easier work



LoL





Cheers, more to come guys

[mgpdoc]

I'll just leave this here





Much more to come

Cheers

Day started playing with this







To end like this





Car climbed on the ramp







LoL so funny looking, I love it

Rear windshield off, and antenna too





So much heavier than the Lexan one

Time to drill some holes







I spy fender separation











Random photo





RS4 Fender arrived in place of the crime



Cutting time









Fun time





Bye bye fender











RS4 fender being cut





Inner arch test fitment



First RS4 fender fitment for fun



Boy . . . so sexy . . .



Cheers . . . more to come

This build went from so so to YOLO in like 3 months. Christ.

Even Jennifer Lawrence is pleased with your build.

[TeckniX]

Didn't think 1 rainbow was enough - bloody hell this is a build! Although not sure if the overnight (2jz) parts from Japan are what should be there.

[MvP]

This is awesome. Loving this build

Holy moly.

Holy wideness

I am glad she is. So glad I am requoting her.

To be fair, this took more than 3 months, but now this thread is up to date with reality

So, I have a lot of pics with progress to show you all.

Inner arch

cut





new one



Cut



test-fitted











And then installed, with all the proper things done first





Primed



As well as the inner side of the fender



And then painted



Checking fitment

Before



And after





Door difference





Another thing I did is this . . .



And voila, no door trim



Rear ones



And then, you guessed correctly, all of them removed





Then we installed more things to check for correct alignment
















RS4 fender meeting the RS4 bumper



RS4 Seibon trunk meeting RS4 fender (almost. . . lol)



Time for some holes for the Vi's engineering quick bumper releases





Time to weld





More to come

This project. I'm interested in more and more the longer this continues.

[loekaaz]

I'm so glad that I'm sub'd to this...

[mgpdoc]

More work was done today, and I am very very happy to share it with you

First things first, welding on the fender was finished





Door floor







Final sanding, and then seam sealer before painting starts.

What is more, all the rivet holes, from the window trim removal were filled, and then grinded down to give the clean look





Now . . . if you recall, we had a minor issue with the rear doors, as the RS4 ones are a bit wider. However, if you have a shop with balls like these, you dont need RS4 doors, nor do you need bondo and filler or fiberglass to make it happen. Take a look for yourselves.

Before





And after. Let's Talk about art













In the shop's demand, I cannot show pics of the inner door side, cause let's just say, its their art and I respect that
All I can say is, it is purely metal work, no bondo or no filler or fiberglass. Respect and props from me.

Trim out



Grinding time



No mercy



Almost done





Next time, we will go to the passenger's side

where the glass is already removed



Taken with me in the other vehicle



Cheers guys, more to come
