OK - here goes! My OCD has got the better of me and, after having done nothing other than eat, read and sleep SQ's for the last month I've decided to build one rather than buy one. I wish I had the technical skills of Jeffer, Hamish, Jamil etc but I don't so I am enlisting some help on the difficult bits. Thanks to those who have spent time dragging me up the learning curve over the last month - Keiths Edwards and Murray, Jamil and Mr Tonks as well as Roger Galvin. I can say first hand that Keith's and Jamil's cars are bloody quick - thanks for the demo chaps!
My idea is to create a road (ish) SQ with the proper screen angle and C pillars. I may yet live to regret this if I ever sell it, but for me to use in the UK it will be RHD.
I've acquired a rough Coupe Quattro and pick up my Audi 80 2 door from Germany on Monday. We already have an S2 lined up for the engine and drive train - 6 speed but the original ABY engine lunched itself so it comes with a 3B. Pics attached. Brian Tonks is supplying the body kit - mostly in Carbon Kevlar.
The aim is mainly to create a road car with the occasional foray onto the hillclimbs for fun rather than to be competitive (I race single seaters on the hills - they are easier to thread up the track and marginally cheaper to fix if they break - it also means I don't compete head on with Keith's red monster). 400-500 bhp with a cage but also with an interior and some creature comforts.
Fingers crossed...
