Ahmotorsport Posted June 13, 2012 Author Share Posted June 13, 2012 First car in, not a bad example. I've since found out that Pa used to work on this car at his old, big workshop and the owner hasn't let anyone else work on it since then (12 years ago) and he's now bought it back as he's heard we're starting up again.....As you can imagine.... There is quite a list. http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae68/Ahmotorsport/WP_000841.jpg It's bog standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahmotorsport Posted June 16, 2012 Author Share Posted June 16, 2012 (edited) Make sure it gets the yellow cam cover mate! So this is where my gearbox will be built?Pah! Yes mate. Can I be ignorant.....valve grinder for cylinder head work? How does is it work?Yep. Basically, you put the valve in a holder, you can adjust the bit with the pulleys on it to different angles, i.e 45 degrees, 30, 60 etc and you can cut the valve to the correct seat angle. You can even do three angle valve seats. I should add, the grinding bit sticking up in the middle is what the valve will come in contact with.

Ahmotorsport Posted June 17, 2012 Author Share Posted June 17, 2012 Another productive wall building/painting day. It's funny, it's a big engine room, but there's no space in it! Once the work benches/engines are in, it's small xD http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae68/Ahmotorsport/WP_000885.jpg http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae68/Ahmotorsport/WP_000888.jpg http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae68/Ahmotorsport/WP_000887.jpg http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae68/Ahmotorsport/WP_000886.jpg http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae68/Ahmotorsport/WP_000889.jpg http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae68/Ahmotorsport/WP_000890.jpg http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae68/Ahmotorsport/WP_000891.jpg http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae68/Ahmotorsport/WP_000892.jpg http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae68/Ahmotorsport/WP_000893.jpg http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae68/Ahmotorsport/WP_000884.jpg Cylinder head storage rack http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae68/Ahmotorsport/WP_000883.jpg Jet washed Audi.

Ahmotorsport Posted June 18, 2012 Author Share Posted June 18, 2012 Did some more wall building. Took the fuel tank out of a Discovery, gearbox out of a Luton Van and the Gearbox out of the Quattro. I'll stop adding the pictures of the cars coming in from now on, for that you'll have to go on the facebook page which can be found in my sig, if any of you are interested. http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae68/Ahmotorsport/WP_000899.jpg http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae68/Ahmotorsport/WP_000900.jpg http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae68/Ahmotorsport/WP_000902.jpg http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae68/Ahmotorsport/WP_000901.jpg http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae68/Ahmotorsport/WP_000903.jpg http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae68/Ahmotorsport/WP_000904.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
