Default Retrofitting D3 / C5 air suspension in a D2

Afternoon all,

I've been looking into air suspension kits for a D2 and it would appear that there is no off the shelf solution available from the likes of Airlift etc etc - I'd most likely have to go the custom route and source parts to make a Frankenstein setup.

This got me thinking - I previously had a C5 Allroad which was equipped with a factory air set up, probably not too different from those found in D3s and onwards (in a raw sense).

I can't find related topics here so I wonder if anyone has had the same idea and even gone as far as successfully retrofitting Audi air suspension from other vehicles to their D2?

Just a thought at the moment but I have a spare unused Wabco compressor and can source the struts and airlines needed to carry out the basic install. There would need to be some custom parts made up but it'd be pretty neat to have OEM parts added to my old girl, rather than aftermarket!
