S2 Avant into saloon

[S2central.net]

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.

So front and rear have to come from a coupe?

I always thought the suspension was the same on saloon and avant?
Im on about a model like this:



Not this:

You would need coupe suspension...

So an Audi 80 donor shell and a S2 coupe donor for bits...

I cant get this out of my head!
If the correct quattro saloon was bought to use, what else would need to be bought/fabricated to create an S2 saloon?

The only things I can think of that are not a direct swap are engine mounts (gearbox?)
Can the avant suspension be used?
Rear seats?
Rear bumper?
Can the original saloon loom be kept for the interior/headlights and rear lights etc? Ie only the engine related loom would need swapping over?

Basically, what would be needed to buy to do it all?
Obviously bushes and other bits and bobs would/could be replaced to freshen it up at the same time, and parts such as thermostat and various things on the engine that are a lot easier to replace while the engine is out.

Its a project I would love to do!
