Do it!!

I’ve still not got a glass top for it yet… it’s turned into my favourite ornament at the minute :)

Yes Brisvegas based, not too far from the city.

Yes, I've started using a weld through primer now... learning all the time!

👌

It’s a bit tiresome at normal speed… ask my wife!

I've tried to add strength were I can... and certainly in the sills... see this episode... kzbin.info/www/bejne/qYquYp6dpbSUhtk

Thanks! Brave.. or stupid? I'll let you decide...

​@@sportquattro86very brave ,not stupid . Will be priceless when built . Very well done

​@@sportquattro86you are certainly braver than me ,I would be scarred stiff doing this .

lol... glad it amused!

Thanks!

Thanks so much!... but I'm just making it up as I go. Having said that, I reckon all the fab. work I have done, makes the car stronger than factory... so that has to be good...right??

Thanks Mick! lol death wheel is about right... I'm not quite sure how I've managed to escape serious injury so far. Both groin and face have had close shaves with disintegrating discs.

Glad if it was helpful!

I just followed the line... lol

I have MANY excuses for the lack of content... but they are genuine! I struggled with two fractured ribs and a torn shoulder muscle, and now a god awful lingering cough and chest infection... which is the cause of the husky voice throughout this latest video... hence this latest content isn't the best :(

Always good to see you mate ! Hope you feel better soon .

I wish it was a little easier...

I'm glad they did!

Thanks 👍 I’m not sure I realised either! However, it could have been much much worse - the donor coupe is in pretty good shape compared to some I’ve seen.

I’m sure you would do a few things slightly differently the second time around…😊 it’s a suck it and see job the first time… but I can see that you’re doing a great job…👍🏼 can’t wait to see how it turns out… and what colour you choose… shame you are so far away 🥴

Absolutely has to be red.

Absolutely…👍🏼

You’re telling me!

Jeeez, glad a saved you!! Yep, lots of excuses as to the lack of content, one being my new project car… well, it’s turning out to be that lol

@@sportquattro86 New project car ?

It's my new daily... another auction special. You'll hear it in the next video... a few weeks away yet tho'

It’s good to be back working on it for sure… more work underway this week 👍

@@sportquattro86 👍

Do the Coupes & Quattros have a narrower roof than the 80s and 90s? Or it just an illusion caused by the steeper raked windscreen?

Yes, there is a difference in roof width between the coupe and saloon.

@@sportquattro86 That will complicate things even more then!

Well, it certainly doesn't feel that way I can tell you! I seem to have to move something, before I can move something, before I can move something else, before I can get on with what I need to. If the S2 rally car didn't live in the garage permanently, it'd be much easier. First would problems I guess. But for sure, I couldn't do it in a single garage space that's for certain.

Cheers, thanks... hope to make more progress soon...

Thanks! Well... I'm hoping the wait for the next episode won't be another 3 months!!!

@@sportquattro86 Never mind, we‘ll all be true subscribed happily awaiting more… by the way: I live only one hour away from Ingolstadt… the Audi Works Museum is really a nice experience. I had shipped you a B2 two-door if had could… but they aren’t cheap here in Bavaria/Germany anymore. People know what to build out of them… good luck 👍

Yes, the 2-doors are highly sought after...and hence expensive... and then there is shipping to the other side of the globe!!

Life and some laziness got in the way of progress... plus my new daily motor - a V10 S8!!

Thanks, will do!

Thanks 👍

Indeed I am, thanks! I have many many excuses as to why there hasn’t been more content published… but they are just excuses. Next up is the roof, and to be honest, that scares me… more than a little…

@@sportquattro86 is that the roof on the house or car ? Lol

Ha!… house still hasn’t been fixed believe it or not!

Build one!... if I can do it, you can do it.

Only just… yes, unfortunately I have actually been a little under the weather. Frustrating!

Considering this, I think the car has lasted very well in the wet UK weather! Thanks very much for commenting :))

Cheers man. Yep, it's certainly not easy sometimes. I find I'm blowing holes more when the old piece of metal I'm welding a new piece of metal to has become thinner. All you can do is adjust the welder settings as best you can, and if possible try to point the welding tip slightly towards the new metal. Also, sometimes I think it's worse with heat build-up, so let it cool, adjust the settings, and try again. For sure, it's a right pain in the arse on occasions, and nothing seems to work, and you end up with a massive mountain of weld next to a hole. Grind it back, and have another go...

:)

The sill part numbers are 893 803 761B (Left) & 893 803 762B (Right). The spot weld drill is fairly generic. This is the same type I use - www.ebay.com/itm/145013910214. I'm not recomending this manufacturer or eBay seller, just showing you the type I've used. Cheers

Thanks for the reply keep up the good work

Thanks 👍 Yes, the rotisserie is a game changer. Realistically, there’s absolutely no way I could work in this small space without it. Well worth the effort to build it.

The bottom half of Sport quattro, B2 2-door saloon, UR quattro and B2 coupe quattro doors are all the same. The Sport quattro and B2 2-door saloon have the same upper frame, with the steeper windscreen rake, and are also narrower (top leans in towards the centre of the car). The UR quattro and B2 coupe quattro have the same upper frame, but are different to the SQ/B2 2-door saloon.

Appreciate it!! Cheers

Someone’s weird, is someone’s normal… BUT, it just shows how such a video title and thumbnail has put this video at the top of my most watched list for the first few days. Everyone is a pervert 🤣 Definitely a score finding these new sills. I really didn’t want it have to try and repair the old ones.

Cheers, thanks. Yes, I’ve been watching the build. Certainly on a different level, and budget, to mine!

​@sportquattro86 .im pleased you have seen daves build👍

They have definitely been a welcome addition. Your dad’s ‘new’ S2 looks to be a proper find!!

Thanks, will do! Cheers

@@sportquattro86 Hoping the whip and the leather gear come out next time! 🙃😉🤣

Not happening!

@@sportquattro86 😂

Happy new year… and thanks! Where in the world are you?

I’m in the Uk 🇬🇧

Well, that’s a looong drive to bring your shorty round! But be my guest 🤣

It would be really cool…😊

Thanks! Happy new year to you too.

Thanks 👍 A Happy new year to you, and yours also.

South Yorkshire, in the sticks... half way between Sheffield and Huddersfield. Escaped 35 years ago!

@@sportquattro86 A bit further south than me in the Aire valley, but I migrated south about 40 years ago!

@@sportquattro86 Small world, I'm in Rotherham. I had an inkling you'd be a yorkshire man from the first few video's, I thought you might be had been from the Doncaster area. Happy new yr to you and I look forward to more entertaining content coming in the future.

​​it is a small world indeed! My brother lives in Swinton, his name is Daz, and he used to ride a ZX10R - no shitting! Spooky…

@@sportquattro86 Haha, fantastic.

Yep, just a bit of light drizzle :)

Thanks! You too!... yes, still on it.

Yes, been watching it... looks like it'll be a proper piece of kit when its done.
