Audi A4 BAT - Quattro Project by Tom's Garage

[Theaudiowner]

I'm in for more :P

[mgpdoc]

More progress

Found yet more tar- this was behind the wiring, and did not risk the heat gun back there at that time



However, no wiring now, means ability to remove it



My assistants wanted more progress



Work more they said



So I did

Before



After



Tidy



Then, ABS/ESP Tab had to go home



During





After







Then, our cars, are full of these little things



I personally ***** those. For two reasons.
1. I have bled so many times because of them , I have lost count
2. They dont accept a normal bolt thread, only some with effort.

So bye bye



Removed about 20 or more of those from the engine bay alone



They will be shaved smooth

Then, having the spot welder drill in hand, I thought I'd remove some more weight, not needed weight that I carried with me for no reason all this time. Oh well, seems like there is ALWAYS more weight to be removed.







Then this







This will have to go too





As well as this





Not an easy task, but it is a pleasure to see all these heavy pieces of metal come out of the car. Interesting to weigh them all together

Next time, I will do the passenger side ones









As well as these little ones which are surely heavy, given they were for the seatbelts



I think I can have a beer for now, and do more tomorrow



Cheers everyone

Wow this is pretty comprehensive work right here!

[audib3]

Grimbergen

love what you are doing to the car!

[mgpdoc]

So, got some more ammo



And got to work on the passenger side too











Requires dedication- look at the number of holes for such a small piece



However in the end, it is well worth it



And I might have some new orders too . . . it's christmas after all . . .









But this is not all . . . more to come on the next update

Cheers, and Merry Christmas to all

Hello everyone and Happy New Year.

Had some news for you, but didnt have the time due to work to upload the progress

So . . . first things first . . .

Started with this



Removed this





Leaving me with this



Where some serious work will take place. Can you guess what it is about ?
More on that on the next update.

Meanwhile . . . I think I might have ordered something new . . . something not cheap . . . something like . . . this . . .



Picture is just for reference, I am talking about a brand new part, straight from Toyota Dealership.

I guess Santa will come full handed, wont he . . .

More to come . . . Cheers . . .

Had some really good progress with the Wheel Well, but decided to stop here





Removed this STERN transmission mount, which will propably go for sale with the whole STERN engine mount kit









Reason for the removal was to do something a bit more interesting.

Tom asked me to stop drilling and cutting and go help him . . . hehe



Time to meet each other for good



Gear shifter removed



Lets go inside





Water pipe needs to be removed





Me Likey







Let's throw the head on



I think this is what one can call WiN.



Engine will go further back



Once some more metal is removed



Exhaust side for now



I knew I had picked the right Oil pan for my car



Steering rack is going nowhere it seems . . .



2JZ temporarily in place for some nights



Parked in place



Best food table of the night



Cheers, more to come

[Tuck&Poke]

Holy crap, I can't wait to see more.

[mgpdoc]

Got some more supplies then . . .













Removed pump- gonna clean it and propably buy a second one - - hehe yes, it will be needed.



Fuel Filter Removed too - also a second one will be needed i guess



At the back I am doing a lot of work which is yet to be completed





Removed the diff cover and Tom did some measurements





Lots of work ahead



Cheers, more to come

[MvP]

Tom sounds like a very knowledgeable man lol

Great job man

[mgpdoc]

Got me some more parts then.



Second Aeromotive Fuel Filter



Aeromotive Replacement Filter for my other Filter housing



Because it was not that clean after its current mileage



And a second "044" Bosch Pump



I think two of those, one out of each side of the Fuel Tank, will do




Then, I did yet MORE work in the trunk area



I said that tonight was the night - And it was



Bye Bye Wheel Well.



Well Worth the Effort





The bent part in the middle will also say goodbye to the car, no need for it to be there when the cage comes in



Any guesses to the weight of the wheel-well and the holes i had to drill for the spot-welds ? Hehe

Stay tuned for more.

Cheers
