First i'm going to make it all technically ok and operational. After that the outside will be painted, to minimise damages.
The colour is Nimbus grey, as found on the TT''s.Comment

I'm afraid so.
I can honestly say that everything is fabbed and done by myself.
However there are a 2 guys in particulair that earn a BIG thanks for their helping hands. Hans (the paint expert) and Maarten (friend and helping hand wich is always standing by).Comment

Very, very nice Jeffer! You've really set the bar high. This project is motivation to finish my RS2 so I can move on to my '85 urq. When I do get the the uri, I'll have to thumb through your project pages again for some guidance on how to do it right.
Did you paint the engine bay/interior or is has it been epoxy coated? Either way it is wonderful job!
I'm looking forward to more pictures of your beautiful car.Comment

Looking better and better as all the bits go back onto the car! When are you going to build the engine for it?
Are the struts ones you have converted into coilovers yourself? If so what was the thinking about moving the steering arm down them? Is it just to get longer springs on? Does it have any effect on the way the steering is going to work or feel?Comment

At the moment is the engine at the bottom of the priority list. Actually I've setup the 10V now with triggers, and with the 6speed gearbox. This will be put in the car first. This is because of road regulations...... (long story)Looking better and better as all the bits go back onto the car! When are you going to build the engine for it?

However the hardware is ready for the engine. I only need to weld the EM and IM.
The struts are actually bought as is. They are original Sport Quattro items. So I didn't want to modify them. As are the control arms. These are also genuine SQ.Comment

Looking great! The factory parts are great!
Quick Q, what driveshafts are you using with the 6-speed?www.quattro.ca
B2: 82 Urq into Sport quattro, 82 4000 2-door, 83 80q 2 Door, 83 Ur-q CDN, 85 Ur-q Euro with 3B, 86 4kq, 59,000km
B3/B4: 91 CQ, 93 90q 2.5TDI, 94 80q avant 2.5tdi, 94 S2 AvantComment

Well thats one of very few things I havent looked at. The SQ hubs use the same CV joints as the CQ rears. I need to figure out the length of the driveshafts. I think it will be 20V 7A driveshafts.Comment

I looked at it a wee bit and found that FWD 7A driveshafts are the same as RS2 (part number). Can you confirm that the rear splines of the CQ are the same as SQ. I always thought that Ur-q and SQ used the same spline size.
I am under the impression that the passanger side Ur-q shaft will bolt up no problem, only the drivers side (left) is an issue (too short). I have a S2 shaft on its way from UK, plan is to change the outer joint to match the early slplines and use that with my 6-speed. Will let you know soon if that works.
I had some progress on our SQ conversion last weekend (no project thread here) but hopefully I'll be cutting her in half next couple of weeks. I also have buch of original SQ parts for my project, but hope to collect some more... if you have some spares let me know, I am also looking for the rare 16x9 speedlines.
Thank you!www.quattro.ca

I'll let you know on the driveshafts. Probabaly this weekend or the next weekend I'm going to test fit.
The rear URQ/CQ cv'joints are the same as the SQ CV joints. Those are the ones that have the huge nut to secure it to the hub, and not the bolt type. These are also used on the audi 100's typ43's.
Do you have any more info on your project? What oem parts do you have? I'm also looking for original SQ parts

Do you do all of this work yourself?
