    Resurrection of stalled shorty project

    Good evening all, I’d like to introduce myself to you. I started on a shorty project some 14 years ago which got as far as acquiring a 1986 coupe, a 1985 2 door 80 saloon (from Germany) a pair of AAN’s, removing 320mm from the coupes midriff, and sticking the A posts and screen from the saloon on. The project then stalled (stopped completely!!) as I started a new business. Fast forward to now, after 3 workshop moves and 2 House moves and a business sale, the old girl/girls is destined to have a little more attention.
    I was over the moon to see that this forum and its wealth of knowledge was still thriving.
    Thanks for having me back and I look forward to chewing the fat as try to find my way back in to this project!

    Welcome back...

    Sounds very interesting, I know myself just how disruptive moving and life in general etc can be, what stage are you at now, is it rolling for example?
    1990 B3 2.0 80 quattro.
    1992 C4 2.8 Avant quattro
    1994 MTM RS2.
    1998 B5 TDI quattro Sport.
    2000 B5 TQS.

                The garage is almost ready to play in. Got to make room in another shed for the kids bikes etc then I’ll start and try and figure out where I got to!! I’ll get some pics up soon.
