G28 - Simple Mans, Simple REDO of an G28 LP640

[Simple Man 2.0]

Had a set of G28 door cards which are far from the look the REDO needs.  Also a set of mangled OEM replicas that were cut in the center to make them fit the opening of the G28

Glad we kinda got it fixed! Looking forward to some progress again!

rare day of sunshine   

final adjustments on passenger door - warped on the area that meets up with the outer door sweep CSM Duraglass etc - just need a bit of warm weather and i will bond the outer skin 

extend bat wing -  Something that needed to be done, used foam then CSM, dura glass

guide coat and a bit of body blocking- like the body work part of the build the best

[Simple Man]

soldered and wrapped the door wiring

install interior door release cable and handle

mounted outer window sweep

adjusted outer door skin for bonding.  Forgot just how much adjusting they needed     and still more to do

[Simple Man]

Basically giving up on doing any more body work for the next few months with the weather.

So on to inside projects

What to get my passenger door finished
so I can bond the  outer door skin

-Installed remote door lock actuator
-OEM door lock switch wired up
-Audi power window switch with relays
-Courtesy light on/off switch integrated to Door latch like OEM
-Routed wires  final connection

Amazingly only blew one fuse

details of the fiberglass trunk build

the box was fiber glassed to the shelf

[Simple Man]

did some fiberglass work for the trunk area.

Thanks to Murcie me for the pictures of his set up, very helpful

Need a light and some grills

have a bit of work to do on a couple of pieces but over all pretty happy they way it turned out

First picture Is the REDO when I went to look at it to buy 

[Simple Man]

Trying to get some body work completed before the weather turns

front fenders:
since both wheel gaps and the actual shape are completely different, decided to take the best bits from each side
drivers side  Grind, CSM, Dynaglass, ez grip and lots of sanding.

got the door gap pretty close (tight) and somewhat happy with the shape

[Simple Man]

had to add 1/8 inch or so to the passenger side of the front trunk
Sandwiched DYNA glass between CSM

Also had to adjust the headlight area.  CSM Dynaglass CSM

Finished off with some Rage ultra.

Gap on the trunk close, headlight pretty tight  - will fine tune.... and sand slowly and not take too much off 

[Simple Man]

made some adjustments to the bumper and installed it.  Installed my headlights.  It had been so long ago since they were last in .

The passenger side install went well, as I had some pictures.  The drivers side, no pictures and I struggled. Ended up building a new drivers side one piece bracket. 

next up a bunch of body work on the hood and fenders

[Simple Man]

tough to get stuff done while working, but got a little completed tonight

cut off the excess with my air saw

Sand with a block

fine tune with 80 grit on one side of a filler spreader.

[Simple Man]

spent some time clamping the front bumper and making adjustments to get it to look right.... 

probably make a few more adjustments
