(Also running this thread on Classic Audi FYI)
OK, as some of you may know from my newbie thread, I am planning on taking this Audi 80 16V Sport that I happened to stumble upon after selling my B6 S4 V8 and making it into a car that is a real sleeper.
The main plan is to get the existing engine ripped out and a 1.8T engine from a VW passat dropped into its place, whilst retaining the original appearance of the car, but with a few select tweaks. Obviously there will be an evolution of power once the conversion is done, but for now I want to get a sharp, reliable motor as it will be my daily driver.
Facts:
£450 purchase price
7 month's MOT
got it taxed
full service history
generally good bodywork
spotless, refurbed alloys with Avon Z1's
Plan & Implementation:
VW Passat Sourced
Aiden at Bahnstorm is going to do the conversion
one of my friends at AD Panelcraft will be doing any bodywork
I will be doing everything else
I know that people like pictures, and being as its pissing down with rain today, I dived outside at the first moment it stopped to start assessing what it is I am dealing with. I didnt get it all done, but its a start...
