holy shit all those wires are terrifying

[mgpdoc]

So this happened . . .



Lost no time and assembled it



Oh yes



Saying hello to each other



Safety uber alles



Big Thanks at those guys for their help on my project



Cheers, more to come, stay tuned

[mgpdoc]

Thank you very much

[TEASY]

Mp..

Just one word: AMAZING!!!!

[mgpdoc]

Seems like I managed to do some more work today. Or to be more precise, A LOT more work.

the DaiLy was watching closely . . .



Used this magic product to finish some left-overs from yesterday



The ability to see your interior via the engine bay



Big Thanks to Mike @ Ringer for all the help throughout the years



Spent some more time on the tray



And got to work to remove all of the remaining components from the engine bay





There wasnt blood - there was something even worse - Dexron II steering fluid - yikes



Again, dirty below



Couldnt leave it like that, you guessed correctly









Clean at last





Removed the gearstick-gearbox connectors



Then the fuel lines had to go



Now we're talking . . . Fresh, and empty bay to begin playing . . .





AirBag ECU removed, and will go for sale



JHM Short Shift Kit Removed, and will also go for sale







After removing this plastic, there was access from the cabin to the floor below the car - Officialy FLINTSTONES MODE



Tom thought: WoW, too many Wires - Let's do more work



So we started working on the steering column



Things are getting serious



No Head for the screws that hold the ignition key hole - like the ECU Screws



Bye Bye







More things came out . . .







No stopping now . . .



Alarm out



Greddy units out (5th one, still in car)



Tom was still not satisfied so he went for . . .



The steering column . . .





And then we pulled out the dash bar support



Leaving us with this to work, way easier access to the oem loom now



Lots of work to be done . . .



Now, you can pass things or tools from lots of places



You can even sleep in the front



LoL. More to come guys



Cheers

[mgpdoc]

More work - More progress

Started with this



Ended up like this





Have to do the other side too

This tar sheet is getting on my nerves



bye bye



Will finish it with some TarMinator from Chemical Guys, next time

I then removed this



Leaving me with this, which I wanted to remove as well . . . it is attached to 2 ends.
One is the ESP/ABS Unit - The other is the interior brake pedal. What a pain in the ass that was. We'll get there . . .



ESP Unit was bleeding while being removed



Bye bye ESP / ABS. This car has had enough safety, thanks



Leaving us with this



Then it was the hard part. Removing the pedals under the steering column. What a nasty place to do work. My back has seen better days.

Throttle pedal came out first.



Then came all the rest, allowing me to pull the servo out after I had finally disconnected the brake pedal.





All these will go for sale as well





The tray was naturally dirty from all the years of daily use



Made it look a bit better, despite it will mostly be cut anyways



Cheers, more to come

[Nico]

yeaaaaaaah progess, good work tho.

My DaiLy suddenly had this wheel on . . .





And then the Audi got this wheel on . . .





Bumper was removed



And so was the Seibon Hood



Reason for all these, was that the car was about to go out for a ride, despite being engine-less, and trasmission-less, with the help of my friends, and our lovely 4.0lt Jeeps



Cant go wrong with American Muscle when it comes to torque.

So the car, went out, I was on the steering wheel and it was really fun. No good photos as I was concentrated on the brakes and handbrake to help the Jeep in front of me move easily

Hello Tom's Garage - It's been a while



Boy meets girl



Car is harder to fit in here due to the RS4 body. But it fits



Can you tell we've missed working on this car ?



Lost no time, and started taking all the ecu- ecu box and harness off the tray





Bye Bye











Damn, do I spot a hidden tar sheet piece in there . . . . hmmmm . . .



Hope you liked it. I am sure I did

Cheers guys

Then again, my pocket was a lot heavier back in the days when I used to run Sparcos. Or even Recaros.
No pain, No gain, they said. Boy, were they right. LoL

[cdiddydo]

And I was like. "WoW, everyone must run seats like these, these days, cause well . . . no one bothered to even comment. LoL"

Thanks mate

they make my sparco fixed back look like trash
