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

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

[DriftingStig]

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

Now today update...

As in my reference...

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

Excellent work!!

Amazing!

Good work so far

Killing details on the seats !!!
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.
