Audi Sport Quattro

[Tonks4x4]

Hi folks, I now have all the donor vehicles I required to start this project. So I have decided to start a thread so you can see how I get along. I know there are a few people out there that detest the idea of making sport replicas, but I can't afford a real one and have decided to make one to the best of my ability. I have not gone the usual way of removing the Audi 80 2 Door roof and screen pillars and welding them on to a coupe. I am using the entire front end of the 80 2 door, this way it has the correct screen and it remains left hand drive just like the original. I look forward to your comments (please be nice!!!) and support.

I have uploaded a load of pics already to facebook

At last a proper job!
This is the way I am thinking of doing my UR. The thing that I can't sus is the rear "C" pillars are different on a genuine sport. where did these come from in family parts bin?
It must steapen the rear screen angle.
Are you getting your panels from the German place on ebay? they look to have it all covered..
Going to watching this very closely, fastastic, keep the pics coming!

The C pillars i dont believe were used on any other audi/vw cars and were special to the Sport. Look at jeffers build as he made his himself i believe.

[Tonks4x4]

That's right the 'C' pillar you have to fabricate. Cheque is in the post tonight to Aelrad for the Kevlar roof and fiberglass rear wings from KER in Germany. O and a set of ARP Main and Head bolts for the motor. I have dropped the 7A block off this morning for overbore to 83mm. Piston's, Rod's, AAN Inlet all sat waiting.

Intend to use GT35/82R 0.82AR,
7A head,
Mandrel bent EX man,
Think I am going for the Pectel T6 Ecu

S2 Running gear has now all been blasted selected items are off to powder coaters tomorrow...

Yes Andy P, I need that water rail pretty please so I can get the head down to them to get that done....O and that set of aly bushes.. cheers mate.

[Error404]

A proper job
I like the way you have a hatchet on your wall of tools

Looking foward to seeing the progress

[Tonks4x4]

Yes the hatchet is labled on the board as 'Anger Management' lol. Hope not to use it on this particular project....

[Jeffer]

Nice, another way of approching the Sport Quattro replica. Looking forward to the result.

[S4 driver]

indeed nice job you done there, keep up the good works

i will follow this project on the foot

greets

Proper hatchet job then - LOL - I normally don't like these shorty conversions as they just look wrong with the B2 Coupe front end. Look forward to see how this one pans out - gotta be brave with those airsaws and welding machinery. Good luck
