beacause i can 
i just really like the look of the 2door 80's but want quattro and a 5pot burble and looked into getting a 2door 80 and converting but would be loads easier to weld my doors up  im also going to put a cage in it and strip it out and use it as a play thing so practicality not needed but can see your point  |

aye too right never mind though i always try and find some reason why stuff happens and the reason this time was too sort out the audi and take it off the road before i bought my 90 i nearly bought an 80 but really wanted that 5pot soundtrack so let it go but ive always wanted mine to look like this but a bit lower with some smoothing in 
so plans go something like this;
take off road, strip and sort all areas of concern and weld rear door up for 3 door conversion lower on coilvers so i can fiddle with settings re-spray a new shade of white im torn between the new audi white or ford frozen white 
this will all start to happen once the mk2 is on the road but im hoping for a 2010 outing in it |
 What a babe of a quattro! I would'nt mind one of these  Rare as hens teeth these days |

i know! my friend phoned me the other day and said he was in a place with an 80 sport an 80 quattro and a 5pot 80quattro? i was sure they would be the later ones but the pics came through and
if you can make the heavier later 80's go like shiz of a shovel imagine what you could do with one of these lightweights eric  |

My thoughts too Gompo the series 2 & 3 80's have always been the lightest of the quattro's in my book. I use to own a couple of 80 sports back in the old days, both series 2's one of the early type in white and the face lift version in tornado red.
Parts of the face lift version I had on a 1986 C plate was galvanised too such as the bonnet 
I should have collected a good few of these when I had the chance and raided the scrap yards too cos they were quite common place back then but then I never had the space I have now |

have you thought of just welding up plates over the door handles - can be very effective - seen a few done in euro style |

thats nearly identical to what im on about but weld up that rear seam and put a large poly rear 1/4 window in
and i agree with mark that front bumper is terrible |

At quattro 25, someone had converted an old 1975 era Audi 80 GT 2 door to quattro. |

quick plan is;
strip and chop boot floor out replace wid rads
replace wings with better and just pull the arches
get and weld in a full cage
20v in (without charger @1st)
weld up rear door and change all windows bar screen with lexani (plastic)
spray everything white
should be early next year when things take measure.
this is it in its new big house where many things shall be getting done to it (once im fully back up to speed as im a compressor down at the mo)

 where did this come from? i never mentioned tyres? and if you meant about pulling the arches the car was doomed for the scrapper till i got it and kept it on the road for a year till i pulled it off to run my s2 and now im gonna make it a play thing for chasing big cars |
