[mgpdoc]

Nice to see something new from your project

And pretty cool vacation pics with that truck

Hello there.
Thanks. I think you will be seeing a more lot of it, once I am finished, for now, with my daily build, which has seen A LOT of work, through this year.
If you havent seen that build thread, I suggest you do. It is interesting I might say

Cheers

Mike

So I read nearly every single page of this build thread, and felt compelled to say something after all that.

Your work is incredible. I'm massively impressed by your total lack of limits, nothing is too much work for you it seems.

Keep up the good work mate!

Well, a thank you for your good words, is not enough, but I really appreciate it.



I will try to not let you down

So, in between of the BT engine build happening on the Daily, while waiting on the last big parts to complete it,
we found some time to sneak in some work on the Audi as well.



Sourced some material



Good old aluminium I love



Took some measurements



And did some test fitting





Tom did some work



While I took some photos I guess





Then we agreed we needed a lathe, which we dont own yet





More drilling





And this is what we have done for now on both sides



A LOT more material will be removed in the final product. But we are slowly getting there. After the Daily things will move faster I guess.

Till then, summer vacation, with this piece of american history











You can also follow me on instagram, @mgpdoc

Holy Clearance ....
where are you planning on mounting the radiator? hope thats not a dumb question

[TeckniX]

Glad to see this thing progressing in the right direction. Since it's been a month, I'm sure you have the mounts in now??

[mgpdoc]

THanks mate. Have some nice things coming

[hinrichs]

so glad to see some progress on the a4, going to be amazing once its finally in.

[mgpdoc]

So let me show you some progress, rather significant for the future course of things to follow . . .

Had a go with these to make some more space for the engine to sit where we wish





Indeed more space was there, for the engine to move further backwards, allowing everything to sit even better







Looking better already



Come on Tom, pull the engine inside will ya



Great clearance for the transmission



In order for the engine to move further backwards we needed to remove the OEM transmission subframe





Let's do that - even without the engine crane available at the time

Up she goes



And down I go



Hold the rear of the transmission with this



And this



In order to remove this



Bye bye for ever

Then it was time to remove these



And along with the front engine mount, put them for sale









Started taking measurements for the engine mounts we will fabricate

Passenger side





Driver side - Removal or relocation of oil filter assembly and sensors





Sits very nicely and we are very optimistic



Some random shots














Cheers guys

No, not really.

Pure and real Kevlar.
If someone read this buils thread and then thought i'd go hydrographics.....

haha yeah seriously on that one, every part other than obviously ones are always oem correct?
