      Unfortunately no, it was sold with all the other parts when it was stripped down to the bare shell that I now own, real shame as it was a cracking hardtop..

        As I recall I nearly bought the hardtop from your brother - Tonks put me in contact but at the time something came up and it scuppered my plans...

        Car is going to be mega when its sorted. So unique!

          Looking forward to see it back on the road. With the numerous builds I've had over the years this is the one I wished I'd kept.

          Maybe have a silver twin
          S2 Cabriolet.........

              Hi, I'm looking for an rs2, I've already seen some in "good shape" (needs some minor things, keep it real it's a car with almost 20 years so...) and seen others that need complete build/rebuild so the question is, should I bought a complete one needing some restoring or buy a shell and start building it according to what I want... The question that goes on my mind is, it's worth to build one from shell (money/time to ratio) or buy a complete one and made the "some restoring"? After seeing this tread my mind goes a little further, why not make a cabrio according to rs2 specs (engine/transmission/gearbox/brakes/wheels). Due to hi amounts of cash the people that have the rs2 ask for them (the cheapest I've seen was about 7500€ and over 200k KM) comparing to cabrio's, put this I was wondering why not go for a cabrio, then I've seen this tread and remember to ask if what you did can be done with a coupé quattro shell.

              Greetings.

                Hi and welcome..

                Ok so to build a Quattro cab in the same way as my one has been built you will need a cab ( obviously ) and the entire rear floor pan from a Quattro coupe and be prepared for an awful lot of time spent cutting and welding the two together. My one wasn't built by me but a guy called Kim Collins and at same time this one was being built he built one for himself that was running full RS2 spec, so yes it can be done, but in all honesty when you look at the costs involved you would be cheaper buying a running genuine RS2, plus the RS2 will always retain a high resale value whereas an RS2 cab will only ever appeal to a select few..

                Hope that helps
                Andy

                  Well for those who remember this car in its glory days, this is the epic moment that it finally got its boots on the ground since approx Sept 2009. Had to trial fit all the running gear as I'm moving house and needed it as a rolling shell..
