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.

No not me. Just stumbled on ti on a Latvian social networking site, looked like a neat stuff so I wanted to share. There was no point linking to it as site requires registration and I did not want to force anybody to learn Latvian

Here are some more pictures:

Here you can see some more recycled parts: suspension parts, brakes, radiator with electric fan, expansion tank, master brake cylinder with servo and reservoir, vacuum reservoir. Also homemade spacers to make it wider and to go from 4 bolt hubs to 5 bolt wheels.


Test drive with improvised fuel 'tank'



Wiring



And tidied up a bit



Frmae has been powdercoated black, the red parts are also powdercoated with red tinted clear/transparent powdercoat. Looking good with metal shining trough




Dashboard/control panel
