          ok mate, thanks once again for your help.

          Hope you've resisted the urge to mod the van and concentrate on the s2 for the time being

                      fronts was made by bryflyingby on here from comp stuff.
                      Rears came off sleeper avants car. Can't remember the brand apart from the springs are green

                      Rear's sitting about spot on, front will be dropped down once I can afford to get the top cap machined which will be a while yet unless I find someone who can machine a small recess into two top caps or a job

                            Great work Peter, keep the photos coming please.

                            I didn't realise it was even possible to convert 2wd to quattro. Well done.

                                Will do mate, just depends as/when I am local to it and have money which ain't often atm. I am getting the recaro's back tomorrow now they've been done by alex so they will be ready to go in soon. The door cards and handles are being modded as I started doing them recently but have not had a chance to finish them yet.

                                b4's are possible to change to quattro but not coupe's as the floor pan is different.

                                If you want a stock looking car then you would need a quattro b4 fuel tank. The a4/b5 fuel tank will NOT fit as the filler neck is more towards the front of the car than this style car.

                                You would either need to fab the brackets or cut them out a quattro car for the diff mount and the prop. Then its the usual stuff like the brake lines different and only one going to the rear rather than the two on a fwd, the abs wiring is different as well so i'm putting the complete loom from an s2 avant into the car soon.
