    So I got Myself my first Car

    Hi,
    I have just bought my first car.
    or more correct a project.

    Its a coupe quattro Type 85, thats going too be renamed too coupe urquattro.
    I came across it on the internett and found out that it was just nearby.

    But here in the nord of norway, nearby is a distance.
    But this was really close and ofcorse it looked like a wreck ,
    And wondered about 300 000km (186 411 miles).
    But it didnt cost me mush.
    and it will cost me less then getting a ''better then new'' urquattro, when its finished.

    The concept is:
    I want a Rally car that can be used daily,
    and ofcorse offer rally like steering and handling.
    and also look like a normal car intill you see the inside of it.
    the door sides are going too be gun metal painted aluminium (or what ever you call it over there) plates.

    As I live in norway, we have 6 moths with very cold days, and very slippery roads also called winter.
    and as this is Nord of Norway, in the winter we got only 4-6 hours of daylight.
    All this are the reason I want a rally car.


    Plans or as long the money last:
    Rebuild the engine and maybe convert too turbo.
    Get Urquattro fenders on.
    build a half - cage (roll cage) but so I can use the back seats.
    Stiffen the chassie.
    Respray It ''Tornado Red''
    overhaule the suspension and gearbox and diff and engine mountings.
    4 rally style borch extra lights, mounted like a rally car.
    Reskin my back seats

    Wish list:
    S2 engine and suspension.
    Comotive white rims (rally style)
    porsche 996 front seats (leather) or S2 seats
    sport stearing wheel (rally style)
    and Urquattro bumpers.

    I will post a project worklogg here, when I have finished tearing the car appart.

    Please bear with me as I dont own a S2 or dont speak english fluentlallasey

    PS: I have photos of the car but Im a bit ashamed of it, I will after have teared it apart

    Don't worry about the pictures, think everyone is worried about pictures but most people are just happy to see some interesting pictures. if you post them up we can see what it started like and how you've got it too look.

            I hope the rest of the car was rotton otherwise i'd be wondering why not just put your stuff on that?

            It would be easier and better to do it that way.
