For many years an Audifreak

Hi folks, my real name is Sander, male, 38 years of age and I live in Amsterdam -The Netherlands.

How do yo get infected with "the audi virus"?
Well in my case it started in the 80's....rally quattro's. Watching group B on the tv.

As a young teenager I used to help my uncle with a lot of restauration projects.
Went to a technical school and during my study I got in contact with some people from Shell. At the age of 16 (1986) I left school and started working at the engine lab. at Shell in Amsterdam.
Here's where I really got infected with the audi virus....all kind off engines where available, building & testing 4 and 5 cylinder car engines was my job.
There it was...the lightweight l-5 from audi...
They gave the job of assembling this engine to me....
At that time I didn't realize how special this engine is/was.

In '88 I had to leave Shell and the guy's from the lab did come up with a nice gift.
I didn't know that they kept the engine in store and they wrapped it as gift for me to take it home....nice, this was the first race-engine I got my hands on and now it was mine. Later on I bought a 200 5T for about 500 euro's and swapped the engine.
This car was fun but very dangerous to drive....(no 4WD)

After this I bought an ur-quattro, after 2 months the car broke down.

4 other 200 5T folowed...and then no Audi for a long time.

Recently a old friend of mine gave me some audi parts he wanted to get rid off.
And then I got infected....again.

I'm gone build me my own Audi....

So what is it I'm planning to do: build a type43 (c2) 2-door Quattro 200 5T thing.
Ofcourse a s2 6 speed drive train gotta goin as wel. (S2 donorcar is on it's way)

So far my introduction.

and cool story, wish it was me that got the engine
did not know you could make the mod43 quattro, was thinking did this not come in the 44mod?? Fun to see how you get along.

You're right, the type43 body cannot accept 4WD. To do that I have to use the floor of an ur-Quattro and weld it in. Has been done before.
Since a cheap hard body is hard to find I want to use the type44 floor.
