s2 Cab

[macspring]

Gav,

Thanks for the reply / info.

Looking forward to any updates in the future. Any more info on the solid roof?

£50k is unreal, and now I'd say unrepeatable.

Definitely enjoy it.

Kind regards.

thanks, hopefully ill do her proud

Thanks, hopefully i can do her proud. Hoping to get the new interior in over the next week or so once ive made up some mounts for the subframes, then i might get a chnace to actually drive it for more than 18 miles
My wife and i are heading up to scotland for a wee break end of april for our anniversay so fingers crossed we'll be going up in the cab if everything goes to plan.

VERY nice catch! Understated power...just my thing! Good to see that it is in capable hands and will be properly taken care of.

yep its the original v6 aircon (one of the options the original car had from the factory)
Its very very close in there with regards the rad and power steering pump/crank pulley. So much so they made up some alu spacers approx 2 inch thick to space the front crossmember/rads forward, away from the front of the engine. In turn the lower bumper grilles have been trimmed on the inside for the aircon rads and if you look in the pic the lower leg of the T-peice slam panel has been removed. The slimline kenlowe fan looks like its literally been shoved in place just in front of the dump valve.
With a custom rad and intercooler pipework its definiteley possible to fit the stock length inlet in there. This is the route ill be going down as well as fitting the battery under the rear seat.
Fitting quattro to the cab is far more involved than the other models as so much of the shell is double skinned to aid towards decreasing the amount of chassis flex. There was a very good thread on vortex (iirc) that detailed the issues that arose whilst doing a similar conversion)

What a great acquisition,

pretty unique car. Well wear.

What's that thin radiator infront of the bigger (thicker) radiator in the photo showing the radiators leaning out? Air con?

Indulge me on this one, does this mean that ABY owners (without a/c), who want to change to an ANN inlet manifold could do so by leaving the existing intercooler in place down below, getting rid of the standard auxiliary radiator and inserting either a custom made one in it's place to cool the engine, finding a wide, thick, but not too deep radiator from another make of car which will do the job?

BTW, and I know this may have been covered elsewhere, but briefly what structural or non bolt on work would you have been up for to covert a cabrio to quattro format? Just interested as I also have a cabrio V6. So as soon as my numbers come up ?

Thanks and kind regards.

as she sits currently...looking a little sorry for herself. Temp headlights are going in today till i pick up a set of genuine elipsoids next weekend.



a little bit bare inside..

:mischeif: its was enough to make it more financially viable to buy this one instead of converting the blue one i already had

Nice find and was surprised you had not seen it on ebay when I mentioned it, my mate never did hear from the seller of it, still you ended up with it and look forward to seeing it at some of the shows.

Fancy a set of s2 clocks i've got a spare set now

I didnt realise it was the same one that my mate had told me about till i went to see it. After speaking to the seller it turned out he had no intention of selling it through ebay, he just wanted to advertise it.
Interested in the clocks depending on price/condition and what mileage they have on them.
