89 Euro - Just bedded in the piston rings and out for alignment today.
Still to do: Replace fuel sender, sort ABS light, bypass RDK, adjust clutch travel, adjust throttle linkage, install belly pans, install CIS intake, change oil & filter again and get at least 500 km's on the motor.
87 S4 - I got the windows tinted yesterday so no more hot car.
Still to do: Replace PKT with stock tensionser, replace cam chain pads, install oil galley pins, install later style FPR and GB fuel line, re-install door panels with new door insulation, modify z-box to fit S4, wrap z-box in new vinyl, change oil & filter, change coolant, change heater control valve. Or just drive it as is, will see.
86.5 - Helping Bimmermike with his timing belt service. Belt is strung, we just need to time it and and put the rest of it back together.
Didn't know I had this to do, but the HVAC blower stopped working yesterday, so this morning pulled the carpet and fuse panel board and did a Deoxit treatment on all the fuses and relays, along with the ground wire bundle - blower is working again.
While I was at the fuse panel, I installed a powered Autoloc Hidden antenna at the top of the windshield on the Passenger side, so now I'm also getting FM radio for the first time since the build. Could center it on the windshield because of the auto-dimming mirror with Homelink and hardwired V1 that's installed there with the wires running from the mirror up to the header.
Also started mapping out the plan for the custom cold air intake and ordered some parts (tubes, fittings, etc). Won't get back to work on that until next week though since I need the parts to arrive first, then we'll see if my concept is going to work or not.
Picked up 16 qts of oil and a soldering gun.
I hope to have the front and back cameras ready for the trip. The only left is to tie it in to the fuse panel.
This intake refresh is going to KILL ME Need to re-tap what might be two holes on the Cam Covers. I recall both bolts being harder to remove and I had an extra set of bolts so I didn't think much of it.... I should have. Both Cam Covers coming off tomorrow to inspect and possibly re-tap those holes. Hope I can finish things up tomorrow ....
Got 5 days of the work that pays the bills to do on Tues/Wed/Thurs.
