Well this week i get the audi back, this was my dads last car before he passed away, basically its a standard audi a4 (p reg) 1.6 not the best spec and has deffinatley seen better days now my uncle has had it for 5 years. anyway i asked that i could have it back once he had a new car, so i get it hopefully this week. this is going to be a on going project for a LONG time but my plan is to make it into a RS4 rep, engine etc.... i dont have much clue nor experience but my dad was a mechanic and owned his own garage and its something i really want to do.... its similar to this..
i need to find out alot of info but the best thing is time is on my side. body work is good but scratched, luckily these really dont rust and its not dented. would like the typical rs4 blue
im sure the older rs4s only came in the avant so that front bumper etc
this blue too
this has been on ebay for a while seen the same ad a few months back, however i would need to find out about fitting such an engine from the new rs4 etc... but that will come with time

The RS4 has bigger arches doesnt it? Not a problem on the front but will require welding in a new rear quarter wont it..........for it to look right!?
BIG project, will be costly aswell...........good luck.

Might be worth you searching for the user 'Siena' over on audisport.net as he is/has completed a project just like your planning. Hope your pockets are deep.

Interesting be good to see something different from the norm however.....Surely buying one for 12-15k is the cheaper option?
