hi all i have started a thread on C A so thought i start one on here as you proberbly seen it on here 1st .

i brought the car off will aka wabtheking a few months ago looking like this









its a 2.3 quattro lhd brought in from the nederlands

it needed 2 wings and small bits and pieces for the mot .


i managed to get 2 almost perfict wings and had them resprayed and undersealed





also got a boot spoiler and had that painted aswell





the car was dropped off at brians and i thought it might be started tommorrow well tonight i got some pics off him and he has been his usual self
yes in one day its gutted at the front end









the exhaust is blowing well not suprised realy not botherd as its all going to be replaced anyway



this bloke never ceases to amaze me


next day had a phone call from the tonks he was ready to do the heart transplant of both cars so i took the 200 to him sat at 6pm .i thought it was just a drop off errr no i finally got home at 4am this morning .

this was about 8pm



this was about 1:30 am



engine out about 2am


man it was bloddy cold out there in the am

what a carfuffal with the clutch the spline if different from the 200 to the 80 we had to change the alternater to the other side change the flywheel back to a duel mass .finally got it in .

me and bro left the man cave at 2:30am and arrived at tonks about 4pm today and he was still at it

Wow, some progress there. Mr Tonks is a machine!

Are you planning to swap to S2 running gear, suspension etc?

[Rocco]

Why a LHD for you ?

We never got the 2.3 b4 quattro in uk . only lhd only .it was easier to convert

Because the dash loom to feed the rpm counter signal? Because was reading from a 5 cylinder engine too.


Had the same problem when I did it over my b4 80 competition . engine mounts are the same in the 5 and 4 pot engines

Tonks is replacing the clock plug its bigger than the ng one
