Kenneth's 200q20v resurrection

I should start a second thread to track my other project. This one is called my 200q20v resurrection for two reasons. One is that my previous pearl 200q20v got totalled a few years back and I bought a replacement pearl one for it to pick up where I left off with that one.

The second reason is because the replacement 200q20v I bought has some issues that need to be worked through. I bought it non-running and towed it home 1,200 miles. I hadn't touched it for a long time, focusing elsewhere, and have since bought two more 200q20v's that I found locally and sold one. The other is a daily driver option until it's sold.

The car still doesn't run, but I have started to install the parts from my old car, which I stripped and scrapped. Unlike some other threads I saw on here, I carefully harvested everything that would come off of the donor car, even the transmission tunnel so that I can do a manual transmission conversion on a V8 quattro down the road. I was even able to get all the glass except for the windshield.

So far in the new car I have installed: V8 taillights, european headlights, clear turn signals, clear side markers, V8 color matched exterior door handles, brushed aluminum interior handles, urS6 front seats, converted from gray sport to black sport interior, Samco 3 boost hose kit, and as of this afternoon, APR R1 BPV.

I'll kick off the thread with some pics of the rise and fall of Version 1.0.

Here's a pic from the seller. I bought the car via email/phone and had it towed to me as it had a bad tranny.

Here it is at my old house:

Then at my new house, with eurolights, tint, clear side markers and signals:

Another shot with the same configuration:

Later with 18" OZ Superleggeras, H&R 29800, Bilstein Sports, 2B Camber Plates:

Then an unlicensed kid in his mom's car decided to practice driving like a jerk into my car:

So after a long hiatus of doing anything with it, I stripped it clean:

The hiatus included back yardwork too. Here's Version 2.0:

Off to get my fat check for $38. Gray 200q20v in background is the current for sale offer:

This part was pretty cool:

I had a week off, so I spent much of it taking my time swapping over most of my harvested parts. Version 2.0 will get the pearl handles and C-pillar trim and urS6 seats that never quite made it into Version 1.0.

The interior in this one was gray:

Boost gauge is mounted already too:

I put some new plugs in, installed my Samco (pre-IC, pre-intake pipe, and pre-TB) and the APR R1 BPV. Next is to replace the breather hose and small vacuum lines. Then I'm going to move it into the garage or driveway, change the oil, and start troubleshooting.

The car has some issues with wiring, and there is some minor engine fire damage that I have to check out and fix. If I get stuck getting it on the road again, I may start fresh with an AAN engine management swap since I have an ecu and harness. I also have a couple of 3B wiring harnesses that I can dip into if need be. I have an 034 IIC, but that's allocated to the eS2 project in my other thread.

I think it's time to order the vacuum hose and breather hose. Can anyone confirm that this silicone line is the right size for things like the BPV signal hose? I'm looking to replace the small cloth covered rubber hoses. If this isn't it then I will just get some of the stock stuff. However I notice the silicone one is actually cheaper. I'd like it to match the blue boost hoses. http://www.034motorsport.com/product_in ... cts_id=650
