Bought this car from my buddy Matt (sexonwheels). Needed some things when I got it, but I was just looking for something cheap and pretty cool at the time.
Yes it’s an Audi. Yes it’s a Quattro 20 Valve. Yea it’s rare as shit… what of it??
First day I had it (Yes… April)
After the snow melted
First order of business was to get the interior looking ok.
Replaced the “Type-S” light-up shift knob and all of the missing pieces and shit
Before
After
Also replaced the missing gas pedal, ashtray covers, etc.
I then decided to replace the 02 sensor and cat as neither seemed to be doing the car any good (car stumbled with the 02 plugged in)
Got kind of out of control and so far I have this as an exhaust (nevermind the 02 sensor hole before the resonator, I cut it off shortly after this photo). This part was made from a scrap exhaust from a Civic and a part of a header… and some other stuff.
For my first time welding stainless, it turned out pretty good. Just have to finish the axle back when my v band comes in.
It sounds like this right now. I tacked on a turndown that exits right in front of the rear tires
The next project I’m working on is getting the big brakes I ordered to fit. I ordered rotors, calipers and pads from a Coupe Quattro, which require 15" wheels. After some prick screwed me out of some Borbet wheels that would’ve fit awesome, I ended up with these 15x8 +14 Mustang mexican specials. The rear tire is flatter than Dakota Fanning in this pic… so relax. I took it to Stewart’s (home of free air) to fill the tires to the recommended 44psi shortly after this photo.
They’re actually relatively flush, but I’m going to have boxersix INCREASE (yeah Kramer… suck it) the offset for a better fit. Hoping there’s enough material to go between +25 and +30.
I made this photoshop to show what I’d like the car to look like. Not too bad for the most budget minded shit I’ve ever done.
Nothing too stupid, looking to keep at least 205’s on there.
Over the next few weeks, I will be finishing the exhaust, building the coilovers… yes, building them (already have some parts), working on the exterior, hopefully getting the wheels to fit, and laying down with some fine young women.
