Nice work! I am liking your EFI cross-ram idea alot.

Here's an update on how things are going. The roof had a lot of corrosion across the front, so it was cut out & new metal welded in. That was then leaded ready for primer

the cross ram airfilter arrived from the US last week

An epoxy primer was sprayed over the whole shell & then a tinted 2K primer over that.

The car was flatted & sprayed in Audi "Brilliant red" code LY3J. Once the front sheet metalwork is finished it'll be assembled & then flat/polished for its final finish.

Fitted the door & front fender on a few days ago, it feels good to see a whole side in color

Having not done a great deal of work on the car due to other commitments, I thought I'd give a little update on how it's coming along. There was some perforation in the bottom of the Drivers side front fender, so I decided to cut the rust out, re-weld in some new metal & then lead load the repair. Here's a couple of shots of the lead work before the primer coats went on.

Having had a load of issues with an ill fitting after market radiator support, I finally managed to get the front end re-aligned properly. It meant having to reduce the height of the aluminum bushes between the support & the front clip, which allowed the fenders to gap correctly with the bottom of the doors. The hood is an original GM cowl induction piece that needs the paint stripping, but at least everything gapped up ok with the hood, slam panel & fenders. I finally made the decision to go with the RS grille as it'll be pretty unique here in Britain. The car's just about ready now to get the drivetrain fitted & then final assembly of all the trim parts Woo Hoo!!
