AudiCoupeGT

Hey everyone,

I finally washed up my Coupe GT and got some pictures of her.

She's still a bit bunged up but here she is!

She looks great. Truly a collector car. You will have to keep us all posted on the developments. Start a Build Thread and periodically update it as you go along.

Thanks

What a beauty. This car will turn the heads of those people that know its true potential. Keep this baby safe, and keep us updated.

The first Audi that i ever wanted to own. Never did manage to pick one up, but my A4 is suiting me nicely now. Thanks for sharing the photos. She looks great!

haha! Talk about taking the car to the extreme! I'm so digging the single wiper and the fat fender flares. XD

You folks will see the finished product, although I doubt it'll look like that lol.

I'm just going to continue this as my build thread.
I finally started some work on her the other day. It's going to be a slow process as I'm busy with school and I don't have a bunch of money to blow.

So, the first thing I did the other day was finally get it up on some stands. YAY! I then continued with the most pressing problem (that I currently know of).

I removed the fuel hose from the tank to the filter as it was in bad shape and was leaking gas. At this time, I also removed the pre-filter as I don't know when the last time that was changed. Here are some pics.





Hopefully, I can get these parts replaced soon, put some fuel in her, and then I can move onto actually getting her running (keeping my fingers crossed!)

Now that's do-able. Clean and simple, but sexy of course. I'd minus the body kit thought personally

Well gang,

This weekend was a bit productive. Again, progress is slow but its happening.
Since the last post on this thread, I ordered a few parts for my fuel line.

I picked up a new Pre-filter as my old one was gunked up, a new Main Fuel Filter, new fuel hose, and lastly some Steel 5/16ths Hardline. My previous hardline cracked and obviously leaked so it was time for a new one.

So, this weekend began with installing most of the new fuel parts.

I started off with the Pre-filter:


Next was the hose that went to the fuel pump:


Once these were all clamped down with hose clamps, it was time to put in the new filter:


and while I was at it, I replaced these washers for the banjo connection as well:


Now in most of those pics, you probably see a shiny piece of tubing in the background, well that's going to be my fuel line. My initial plan was to go for a Stainless Steel Braid fuel line but due to not having enough funds at the moment, I had to pick up some hardline. Now this is my current PITA. I'm going to try and bend it myself using a tube bender. Also, I'm going to have to try and track down some metric fittings for 5/16th fuel tubing. Here are the pics of the old ones:



So, that's where I stand so far. All I need to do is get that pipe bent (arggghh!!!), find metric fittings, flare the ends, and then install it. Once that's done, I can fill her up with some fuel and then I'm hoping I'm good to go! I would put up pics of the stuff installed but unfortunately I do not own a 2-Post lift and don't have enough room to get a good pic.

Cheers,

Tarpan
