It's been a while for an update!
First of all this somehow ended up behind my truck:
1987 924S - non running and with damage on the driver's side. Had a grey door sprayed red on the drivers side and dents there from a hit. It has potential though!
PO thought it overheated and blew the head gasket. At the same time that this popped up on craigslist, this showed up in the upullandpay:
to be safe, I pulled just about everything I could.
The interior came together pretty quickly. I replaced one of the seats and just cleaned the hell out of everything else.
Then time to deal with the oxidized paint - the single stage "guard's red" had become "guard's pink" - so some polishing and....
Before:
After:
Anyway, got it running after finding a loose resistor in the ECU (and replacing the ECU)
polished up more and looks like this now:
I'm going to build the spare engine and put it in the car and see how I like it. It's pretty fun as it is!
Now onto the Audi content:
I finally got around to starting with the AC install on the white car. I got an RS2 fan shroud from Marc and used a junkyard found 200 500 watt fan. The great thing is that the RS2 shroud and 200 fan are a lot shallower than the 7a setup:
7A on left, Rs2 on Right
What I had been dealing with was that the 7A shroud and fan were rubbing the frame rail a bit which made me have to tilt the fan a little bit forward at the frame rail. This made the AC condenser not fit.
Anyway, I pulled the radiator and combined the radiator, RS2 shroud and AC condenser all together and put it back in:
Everything fits great!
now though I need to wire the 200 fan and I wasn't really sure how to do so. for now I'm using the 80 Amp fuse from the 200 fan harness and an 80 amp relay that will be triggered by the existing fan system. Shortly, I'll switch to a PWM setup through VEMS.
Lastly, I ordered a set of S2 colored gauge faces and swapped them out today:
