Acidburns fwd to quattro b4 swap

http://www.s2forum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=61984

If you get a B4 donor then AFAIK everything should swap across, need to weld in a captive nut for the rear subframe and weld in the prop support bracket.

You can use parts from a b5, but would still need a b4 fuel tank.

You will need to do something with the brake lines.

I would get a B4 quattro and have them both side by side.

Acidburn converted a FWD 80 to quattro but broke it down before finishing.
mdz is thinking about doing it

The fuel tank is also different in quattro . So basically, you will need a B4 quattro sedan/avant as a doner.

I still haven t found a build thread that showed how it can be done.
And i have a great deal on hold.....that i need to decide.

You'll need to use B4 Saloon or Avant rear running gear and prop, the B4 Avants have the subframe mounting bolt hole's hidden under the under-seal complete with threads the latter cars just have the holes without threads.

I think it may well be possible to use B5 quattro stuff at the back as well.

Coupe/B3 Saloon is no use to you.

Hi.
I have a b4 tdi 80 avant and would like to convert to awd. Witch is the easiest way to do it?
a) using the quattro system from a b4 sedan or coupé?

b) using the quattro system from a b5 sedan?

A friend is selling his b5 quattro v6 2.5 tdi and would like to know if it can be done
Thanks!
