    Thats because you would not beleive how much rust starts in the damp / wet and salt. Even though they are galvanised they still rust! All the plating dissapears on the nuts and bolts. Just makes your about three years older in the four bad weather months.
    Yes they are superb in the snow, so is our B6 A4 tdi quattro. Don't care about that its just a normal car so it can have the crap thrown at it of the winter!

      I know very well what the winter season can bring, if you dont take care of youre car.. If you take care of it, it can handle 30 years of winter driving without problems..
      This car has been winter driven since 1992 (it was an 92` 80Q u know), and looks _very_ good underneeth

      Maybe they use more agressive stuff on the road`s where you live, and i THINK the scandinavian cars are a little better treated underneeth from the factory than for alot of other countries, so maybe that has something to do with it to..

      The car has a healthier life in the garage ofcourse, but thats not what i bought it for..
      When you are sideways in 4th gear @ 140km/h, you forget about all the hours washing and treating the car

            Positively untrue.... here in Oslo, we are basically swimming in salty slush from October through April. They are absolutely nuts about the stuff, throwing salt on dry roads even at temps well above freezing. Turns a dry road with high fricton into a salty skidpad (the salt absorbs moisture, so the road gets wet). They often use salt instead of plowing, making an absolute mess in the process.

                  Around here they do salt the roads now and then, but only when really needed..

                    • more pics

                      Well, the summer wheels are back on, and i got my interior lists painted (and some custom airbrushing on the dashboard plate)
                      Just thought i could update with some pics

                      Getting satisfied with the looks, but still need some small details to get 100%.. new floormats, new gear linkage and minor technicalities hehe.. It`s never boring to have old cars.. You get to wrench alot (even though, ive been lucky for a while now)

                              I dont know what you really are telling me here, but i can explain a little..
                              This is a fully converted 80q > RS2 spec.. 100% RS2 spec actually.. You will find all the info in this thread..

                              I`ve also owned a original S2 sedan 93` before, and did not mod that car because of it`s rare history..

                              So if you ment i ruined a rare S2 sedan, you now know better

                              • Your car- lost in translation

                                Hi Ola,
                                I think what was meant was, that they were surprised you sold the S2 Sedan you had as so rare.
                                Don't think they meant you ruined a car for existing project !

                                I love the work you have done on this car, it is absolutely beautiful and unique. Excellent work and technical skills. Never tire of seeing photos of this car - keep us updated.
                                Congratulations on a superb build !!!!!!!
