So as a few members know after the ur quattro I needed something else to drive around in.
After owning this before and missing it after the accident I decided I wanted another.
This turned up on classic audi being sold by a forum member from that site and this one so I paid for it and spink drove it down from up north to me.
I drove this around for a while slowly messing with bits as and when I got them. In the end as the bodywork needed some work I ended up getting geoff carter to spray the car, this was quite a few months ago and after deciding to go that far then the rest needs tidying up to match.
I then used some of the funds from the urq to get some more bits for the car and it was decided that it would be converted from fwd to quattro
I'd purchase a 1.9tdi quattro a4 that had a starting problem off flea bay so me and madwolf went and picked that up and it was taken to bahnstorm tuning to remove what was needed. I also had the remains of an s2 avant from christmas for anything else that was required.
This proved a bit of a pita way to do things as tbh I never used half the stuff on it.
I found the following issues:
the tank from the quattro won't work, the filler nozzle is closer to the front of the car so does not line up anymore - This car now has an s2 avant fuel tank with the a4 lifter pump fitted.
The rear beam/hubs etc I ended up binning off and using s2 avant stuff so I got the working diff lock switch and it was in better condition than the a4 stuff.
There was quite a few other things wrong with the a4 so I took what was worth it and the rest was disposed of.
After this I ended up fitting up a lot of the other bits that geoff had painted up. It was his idea to do the mirrors/grill/bumper grills the colour they are, I must admit it looks better in person and makes the car look more modern.
Pics are not in order.
I had these wheels for quite a while so thought they'd go well on the car, that is until something else come up as winter wheels but suit the car well enough so i'm leaving these on the car.
winter wheels
I will get some pictures of the interior up soon. It has the following to go into it:
climate thanks to rjscotty
rs2 recaro's - now heated thanks to error404
heated rear seats
20v nardi steering wheel from my ur quattro
black headlining
rs2 dials
black carpet unlike the gray then blue carpet the cars previously had.
heated door locks
cruise control
intense wash function wiper - not sure what i'll control with that yet
electric windows all round (the car never had this originally)
The car is now a 6 speed with a tdi box from sleeper avants car so should go well whilst still getting good mpg. The ecu was remapped by a company quattro nutter uses to the spec I wanted.
It is full 5 stud s2 hub'd now and has porsche brakes to go on the front of it. with custom coilovers.
The cars being changed over to a complete s2 wiring loom and abs setup (abs for space under the bonnet) including the battery in the correct place in the boot.
There is a few bits still to come back from painting including the s2 sideskirts and b/c pillar trims. The windscreen and rear windows are waiting to be put back in by the windscreen guy geoff used.
There is still a bit left to do, biggest issue is I left my job I was working a while ago and since then not had much luck finding something else and just trying to survive till something comes up so it is only progressing with stuff I already have. So thats as far as the car is currently.
