The Audi Fox

[BryanR]

I think many of you have seen this sitting in the corner of the shop. Well now she's on the move! The project, not the car...well the car runs, but you know what I mean

Original sitting around for 15 years kinda shape:




Floors were repaired by Mike @ Eurodesign (I'll dig up some pics. Major props to the Eurodesign crew)

And now we fast-forward to today:



Suspension is out. Let the fun begin

Updates to be posed as they come.

Cheers

Oooh, I bet the real fun begins when you swap in a new motor in that thing!

You mean like a GT3 motor with Boxster tranny dropped in the rear....?

HAHAHA, never going to happen

Gonna rock the 1.7L. HARD.

[SleeperAvant]

Aww, too bad lol. Hoping you guys are working on that Fox when I show up for my appointment this Friday

[Raus]

You get the idea...

[MagnusS4]

[RippleChip]

I've been wondering when we might see some progress/plans for this, had to come out of the corner eventually

Front struts are off to get bead blasted. Shorter Koni adjustable shock compared to stock. Need all the drop I can get :)

Found the pics of the fixed floors, curious to see the before/after.

Also, are you keeping it an auto?

[BryanR]

Little more progress today, at least on the fronts:

This comes off...

Something like this:


Now off to the machine shop for some final mods, then weld her all up and drop them in :)

I'll race him to the ground

[madhatt]

I remember seeing this beauty when I had my car at your shop to have the steering rack, subframe bushings, etc replaced. Glad to see progress is being made.

[BryanR]

Don't have a lot of pics while at the machine shop, but here is the new shorter front strut assemblies


With bag


Low test



Rear setup was more an experiment in what is possible with existing. Has yet to be proven to work (ran outta parts during the install...)


Simple tank trial setup in the rear


Rock'n the 70's rake :)


Stock setup still in the rear while the things get sorted

[orangelmo]

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!

[qwks4]

Looks like it will be fun Bryan! Car reminds me of an old Maserati. Am I the only one?

[Audi-ence]

Rock'n the 70's rake :)

Ahem......I happen to like that "70's rake" quite a bit, could prob. use a little on my 04 USP! Lookin' "foxy" already, can't wait to see the next update!

[BryanR]

Updates...

New:
Tie rod ends
Lower ball joints
alignment
front brakes
+ probably a whole list of things my brain is blocking out right now :laugh:

Then there was an issue with the the cam gear jumping therefore messing up the distributor timing, so new:
timing belt
tensioner
plugs
cap
rotor
wires
set timing
something still not right:
new points, yes points!

Adjust carb
Adjust carb
Adjust carb

Runs like a champ now.

Then I had another one of these:


...so things got a little side tracked

This is how she sits now:




Plated insured and on the road.

Her primary function currently is coffee and lunch runs + the odd trip to the gas station.

Summer is flying by

[SleeperAvant]
