Car is getting in on Monday for an underbody treatment and a restoration.
Then it's 2 weeks at the painters...

Pictures to follow...

Wow nice! Thats hard work, but I'm sure it feels good when done. Looks really nice.

Tell me about it... felt really awful when I saw what winter salt had done to it. Thankfully most of the underbody was ok. It was that the mechanical stuff that looked bad. Now most large parts have been galvanised and should last much longer

Ok.
Looking at the last picture and comparing it with the one below...




It appears that I have some kind of weird rear subframe from an audi model I cannot find where the written differences are evident. This does not allow us to modify the rear link adjuters properly thus seriously considering to have to remove everything and refurbish my own subframe and put it all out and in again.

Does anyone know which model this subframe belongs to?

Looking good Vas!

Is it off a non-quattro avant? I take it you can't find a part number on it anywhere?

First off, great project Here is what I found over on motorgeek that may help. Two pages with lots of pictures regarding B4 & B5 rear suspension. The second page shows the difference between the two rear subframes.

Fit B5 rear tie rods?

Fit B5 rear tie rods?

That is what I would do. Easiest solution at this point.
