Re: '84 Audi Coupe Gt grp2

Solid state kill switch from Racewire Solutions and I got the bulkhead wall installed. I used 1/4” aluminum sheet, a little thick but it’s solid.

Re: '84 Audi Coupe Gt grp2

It’s running again. Thought I was going to have some electrical issues with moving the fuse/relay panel around. I had to disconnect/reconnect the panel to get it back in its place. Only issue I had was a harness was not plugged in all the way and a fuel leak at the fuel filter so I shut it down ...

Re: '84 Audi Coupe Gt grp2

F it!! I give up! I keep getting “the image you tried to attach is invalid” I have to edit some of my pics 15 different ways so the site will except them and then I forget which way works. I’m done. ✌️

Fuel cell structure is kinda rough but we’re moving forward with it. I closed off all the holes ...

Re: '84 Audi Coupe Gt grp2

Got the hole cut in the trunk. We can go low or super cool race car fabricator guy low. I’ll stick with low, little more involved with the other route. Thanks for looking! :beer:

Re: '84 Audi Coupe Gt grp2

Purchased a 15 gallon fuel cell. Trying to mount it as low as possible. The GCR states “It is recommended that fuel cells not be installed any closer to the ground than six (6) inches, unless enclosed with the bodywork”. In order to achieve this I’ll have to cut out a section of the trunk floor, get ...

Re: '84 Audi Coupe Gt grp2

Cold weather is on its way so I’ve been trying to get some paint on the roll cage. Using “Steel-it” paint in a spray can. They say paint makes everything look better, not so much in my case. The paint goes on nice and looks good. It can also amplify imperfections. I used tinfoil and plastic drop ...

Re: '84 Audi Coupe Gt grp2

So bear in mind the car is not on level ground so I did my best. Test fitted the diagonal and horizontal/driver’s restraint tubes a couple of days ago and got them welded up today. Hopefully no spine compression will happen. I have a few more things to fine tune on the driver’s restraint system: the ...

Re: '84 Audi Coupe Gt grp2

So yeah, I got the seat structure welded to the car and cage. But before that I had to fill some holes where I took out the OE seat sliders. When building a roll cage make a mental note to leave as much of the OE structure in place as possible! I did the best I could. In certain area’s it was hard ...

Re: '84 Audi Coupe Gt grp2

Latest and greatest on the tig welding. Took DE80q’s advice and practiced on some thicker material. 1/4” plate lap joints, the foot pedal was floored, need to figure out the technique for feeding the filler rod.
Thanks fo looking :beer:

Re: '84 Audi Coupe Gt grp2

It might be an optical illusion but you look to be way too far back. With on hand at 12:00 on the wheel there should be a slight bend in your elbow. It looks like you're reaching for the wheel and might not be able to reach the shifter. Unless you plan to pour a fairly thick insert in that seat ...

Re: '84 Audi Coupe Gt grp2

:beer: It’s not welded to the cage or the car yet. Gotta figure that process out. I only have 4 holes drilled and tapped, so I need to drill and tape more holes for fine adjustment. :drive: :flag: :beer:

Re: '84 Audi Coupe Gt grp2

Always Be Comfortable
Seat time is important. Weather you’re under the hood or behind the wheel, Always Be Comfortable. Bent some tubes up, notched them out to fit the 1”x2”x??? bar, made a seat bracket template and got after it.
Thanks for looking. :drive: :flag: :beer:
