Just before Christmas I became the proud owner of a 1994 S2 Avant Nothelle 300! It was delivered on a car trailer, followed by several other boxes of parts and I'm still waiting for loads more. Basically, it's in bits. The last owner, who is a members of the forum intended to convert it to a track car and totally stripped it some three years ago. It's sat in a dusty shed since then and looked in a very sorry state when it arrived. I've spent a few days cleaning it up and assessing what needs to be done. There are lots of parts missing (turbo, turbo manifold, wheels, front brakes, exhaust etc etc and I will be posting a detailed wanted ad when my permission allows.
I've been an Audi fan for many years, having owned over 10 different Audi's and VW's for the past 20 years. I always wanted to own an S2, but could never quite afford one. Now the dream has finally come true.
I have some experience of restorations. Recently I've done two tractors, one a John Deere (more great German engineering) and years ago I did an Audi 100 Quattro 2.2 10v.
I hope to restore the car back to the Nothelle spec. I've already spoken to Nothelle to see if I can still get the special turbo and exhaust manifold and will be looking for front brakes, possibly Alcon or if to expensive, Porsche calipers.
The shell is in good shape. There is hardly any rust, just a small amount around the pro con 10 cables in the engine bay which should be easy to fix.
I'm having to do some welding in the engine bay as the top of the struts have been modified to take a racing brace.
I will be looking for a donor Audi 80, both for small trim parts and the front dash top which is cracked.
It seems that four of the past owners as still members here. I've PM'd them all for a chat.
Wish me luck!
