Here's my 2002tii,

bought this car a couple of months ago, it had been restaured for 80%
turbo arches fixed,
when i got this it had no engine, interior, gearbox
just the tii suspension with bilsteins mounted and tii rear brakes, with between the rear wheels maybe a LSD(still havent checked)
and a bonini rear exhaust
and some drilling holes in the floor

original this car was a 1973 2002tii in Taigagrün,
fitted with a lot of options, sport5 gearbox, LSD,

now i already have got some parts together for this car
-rear end plate with round tail lights
-middle nose piece to chop to a old chromé grilled model
-complete tii engine
-pair of Turbo brake jaws

now its under restauration, still have some welding to do
some pic's

some pics from the engine and the works from yesterday

engine will be hanging for a while...

building off the injection






took the head off, valves definitely need to be cleaned up
no scratches of damage on the cilinders, looking good so far

today stripped the cylinder head, for the valve springs i have this special tool from facom very finger friendly
tomorrow i'm dropping the head by my regular engine revision company, for testing, cleaning, making straight, and fitting the valves




after some cleaning in my own engine parts cleaner

Are you a pro?
Sure lookes like it.
Keep up the good work, nice to see the engine like that.

no not at all!!! due i want to be one
my daily job is carmechanic
engine will look even more great when it will be finished and in the car gargling
but that will take a while... and lots of money

lovely little update, old stock


kugelfischer fuel pump and injectors will be send up to germany, where it wil be 'tuned', so there will be no problems with fuel mixture when fitting 300° camshaft

some pics from passed weekend, went for some rims, 7x13 with yoko's 215/50/13

rear panel will be exchanged by a roundy one front will also be chopped to a pre 73' nose with the small chromé grills

today after work did some testing with a new product on my work, some kind of decapant, but specially for metal and aluminium
this is the result
but they are all over with small scratches, anyone knowing a product works well for chromé?

Use AUTOSOL paste. It's best for aluminium and chrome parts.

saturdaymorning cleaned up some parts, most work i had on intake manifolds, i cleaned it, and polished the air canals




injection hoses cleaned up

drive belt for fuelpump made from gold?

exhaust also ready

water pipe sandblasted and painted

grilles cleaned up (were painted black) but still have scratches

new balljoints to fix the commands from throttle body to pump

So it was a good day of work for you. Must be a hell of a job to polish te intake like this. Nice work!
