Looks good so far, just read the article in Car & Driver. Been wanting to pick one of these up for a while

I always enjoy seeing these built. Good luck, the one i bought a while back had a very badly warped body. I still have to try to save it.

wow, that is some stash on audi's! nice :evillol:

looking forward to some more progress. the chassis looks very nice :smile:

Wow, look at all those Audi's. Do you plan on doing anything to that 90 in terms of mods?
Do you think you could do some side-by-side pics for the Quattro kits, like a comparative review or something? I think you'll get a lot of virtual beer from the fellow forumers here for that :cheers:

I'm also correcting some things in the interior, like the lack of the back part of the seats

Excellent work!!

Amazing!

That interior is perfect !

Good work so far :bigthumb:

Killing details on the seats !!! :thumbsup:
Clean build, will be a nice tribute to the road car when most builders concentrate on the rally car.
I must say I'm tempted to build a road car beside the rally versions as much your work is inspiring.

Thank you guys!

Phil: I hope to see your build soon.

Today I opened the grille on the hood, smooth under hood, created a functional open and hold system to the hood and used styrene to create inner panel pieces.
