Engine 1.6l from MK2 Golf, I think gearbox as well, differentials from old school 80's quattro with manual locks, no center diff. More to follow.

Awesome!

But those rear differentials are not from the old lockers used n the B2/B3 Audi 80/90/Coupe Quattro. Those were the shorter differential, no extension. The ones pictured here were used in the Audi 80 B4, A4 B5, A8 D2, and were not lockable.

When I said 80's I meant from 1980's not from Audi 80, they are from 80's Audi 100/200 quattro and are definitely lockable.
