    Audi 80e into S2

    How hard would it be to convert my 2ltr Audi 80e into an S2? The reason I want to do this is because my S2 coupe was involved in an accident but the mechanics of the care are sound. I also already have the Audi 80 which is in mint condition; the only problem is it's not a 4x4.

    Any suggestions would be appreciated

    um

    Think you would be better off buying a coupe/80/90 quattro as these are cheaper than all the work involved unless you want to stay with front wheel drive

    it has been done tho, I think Kim Colins did a converible/S2 4x4 underpinings mix ..cool!

    Do a search on here, I have seen pictures.

          Even with a Quattro shell, it is not an easy project but would make a lovely S2 Sedan if done properly.

          Its a brave man that commits to a conversion like that!

          Good luck.

          Cheers,

              You need a quattro body shell, its a waste of time and money trying to convert a 2WD Audi 80 especially when you can get the quattro shell
