S2 Avant into saloon

[A80Avant]

well im waiting because i dont have the cash to do it, and secondly i can only import a car to greece and avoid taxes when i decide to return to greece.And that is not going to happen in the next 2 years unfortunatelly.So i have to wait...hoping that what skull says will not be true!!!

I mentioned Germany,cause that was the first place i looked,through mobile.de. prices are about that area of 2K euros

only one at the moment, but cheaper than mentioned above, it's about 50 km's away from me http://link.marktplaats.nl/274409218

ow and at least it's silver instead of 'black' as the rest.

if im lucky enough i may get a competition in a few years from Germany,import it to the UK,(LHD) and then take it home to Greece for an RS2 sedan.

why wait and why from Germany? Competitions can be bought here very often for prices in the €2000,- range.

Then the current avant i have will become the only competition avant!! (hope the wife agrees to use that as a family car though!!)

they will be too expensive in a couple of years

WTF Tonks ?????

S2 Avant and S2 Sedan are same B4 platform - the B4 sedan absolutely does not use Coupe suspension (but a B3 Sedan does).

Its a 'simple' task of removing S2 Avant running gear and transplanting into B4 quattro saloon shell. Different spring & damper rates I suspect but thats all. Brakes, driveshafts, diff etc all the same.

As said above. The best way.

It is good to note also the additional good things, that the B4 S2 Sedan AND B4 16V Competition have the rare rear suspension that is also in S2 Avant and RS2 Avant. It was so special that in the early 90ś Audi was very successful in the STW (like DTM race series) with that rear suspension with free aspirating () saloon Racer. The reason why it was available in street sedans was the STW homologation rules that certain amount of those STW parts need to be available in production cars also.

The cornering capabilities with that multilink rear suspension are very good. Also when you slightly lift dynamically the rear it allways comes back to earth in such a position that the wheels are in straight position. It was actually so good in race that it was taken to the production A4 model and later to RS4 also... Therefore some of the nice RS4 rear goodies can also be used in those B4 sedan/avant bodies, that have the "STW race rear". I think that the best S2 sedan conversion body is the B4 competition body or buy the real one from mobile.de.

B4 sedan rear leather seats are quite rare... The S2/RS2 avant to sedan rear seat installation solution can be investigated in ETKA :-) Read that and as a hint is to investigate AUDI > Audi 80/90/Avant quattro > 1994 rear seat special molded aluminium parts for rear seat bottom attachment. Then you know how the tilting rear seat is attached to (normal) avant body (like B4 sedan !) that is not rs2 avant or s2 avant ! It is a factory special adaptation part. It is available in junk yards... Easier is to have the leather man to do the work to old non leather seats, but this is the hobby to check how well the Aud R&D interchangeability engineer did the work.

The avant factory made adapter has factory made attachment points in b4 sedan (pic below when fitted).

Though the STW free aspirating 80er was fast, I like more the #4 in this quite new video:
