Haven't posted for a long time and after selling all Audi related stuff lock down came and life was getting boring so started to look for something where I could work a bit spend some quality time under the car as nothing else was going on. So found an Audi avant Quattro v6 around 5 km from my place and was thinging that alone the parts included in the car ware more worth than the car itself. So drove to the guy asked if it's damage free chaisis and bought it without starting the engine.

So first day at the my garage and starting to get the whole mess out. Originally the plan was just to tidy it up get mot and drive it like it was. That is like all the things start and get out of hand. The interior was in mold so fought I can get another one for cheap. Und the seats ware open bottles of beer and the whole carpet was wet from beer so interior went out. Discovered some cut wiring from the airbag treering wheel and other stuff. The heat exchanger was leaking and it had some aftermarket aircon installed. Wanted to get the automatic aircon but the holes in the firewall had to be changed. From small clean up it turned out a bit more than that.

How to start a budget project? Buy 550 euro Quattro call a friend and ask for battery relocation kit go cut some rhd s2 avant up and yeah kinda turns into not so budget project... So v6 is kinda going to the dump and stripping the car reveals some holes in the chassis behind the plastic covers.
Turns out the v6 is going to be a 5 inline and full suspension conversion to s2.Attached Files- IMG_20200607_200638.jpg (4.82 MB, 164 views)

All left from the car is just a chassis rest is not usable or will be refurbished or replaced. Visiting the body shop next to me to get it back to shape. At the time it's Ink just a engine bay respray after the under seal of the car is Ready will probably get it sorted.

Another roatrip another change of plans... Found some cheap rs2 hubs that wulk be needing some love.. Rs2 front and back brakes rs2 hhbs rs2 wheels so kinda going for the rs2 looks now. 10 km from me I found a diesel block for 55 euros so could not resist and bought it. Fuel tank straps are rotten so needed an alternative that will last forever.

Sorted some parts like driveshafts oil cooler and other small brakets from a few forum members. Thanks for the help. Started to sandblast and powder coat parts and strip the under seal of the car. Kinda worst stuff ever.
