About a year ago, before winter I was browsing car ads and one B3 quattro with front end damage catched my eye. Few days later I was in a scrapyard and saw completly intact and rust free B3 80. Screwed off almost the entire front end, fenders, hood, radiator, lights and so on, otherwise it would have been crushed to scrap. Made a deal if I get the crashed quattro I will come back and buy the stuff.
Called the seller, if the car was still available, it was. Unfortunately no trailers here were available on that day.
Took ferry to the mainland, rented a piece of **** towing trailer, thats the one were only front wheels are on the trailer.
Because of that I needed to unbolt the cardan shaft from rear diff. Also one of the tie rod ends was broken. Would not have been a problem, but I didn't want to come back to mainland only to return the trailer. The seller was a friendly guy, and welded the tie rod end back together (thats why the wheels are so crooked on the picture), so I can use rope to tow few hundred meters from harbour parking lot to the ferry.
Made it back to the harbour, its friday night and very crowded, no way of getting tickets for cars today, left both cars there and went to the ferry on foot.
Came back on sunday, ran from the ferry to the parking lot, hooked everything up in minutes, drove to the check in, asked to wait for a minute or two. Cashier said no problem. Towed the car across the harbour, tires squeling beacuse the crooked front wheels, only to see ferrys ramp close under our nose. Had to wait few hours for the next one.
Back on the island with proper trailer.
Back home, hooked up trailer to the lawnmower and drove to the scrapyard
Car looked worse, than it really was. Only new passenger side headlight needed welding, drilled off the old weld spots and new one was welded in place.
Subframe bolts were all bent and front chassis legs needed little bit adjusting.
Some more pics of repair.
All parts painted and assembled.
Quattro in its natural habitat.
