Are the guards and side sills different on that car also? Looks to be a lot more 'pumped' than a stock quattro.

Is it just me, but restoring a classic, I believe being true to factory original is the way to protect a collectible.
Anything else devalues the end result, even if it's drop dead gorgeous, which that black beast is!

Think breasts and silicone.....😜

I'm 100% with this philosophy.

Called to look at this week's work at Just Rust. Trying not to be their most annoying customer.
Front bumper fits well now, rear is almost there.

I have a review car next week so I'm going to take a trip to a scrapyard 300km away to pick some bits from the three Coupe GTs they have there.

Yeah I agree. I'm making a couple of tweaks to mine, but they are easily reversible.

Good one, Rob.
Loving this build thread - don't drop in often, so there's usually some progress ;)

Can't wait to see the finished product! You're going to have to tour VASKers nationwide..

Yep, two it turns out. A white coupe quattro and a red GT. Well I think it was a GT but it had a few extras, and was packed inside with parts.

The red one had the wheel that mine would have had from the factory

Also it had some interesting alloys. I could only see three but the fourth is probably around somewhere.

On my little road trip today I dropped my wheels off with Levin Powder Coaters.

Standard early Coupe GT5E steering wheel & alloys. Mine (1982) has those.

Cool. It has the dash with lines across too, which is rare apparently.

Just dropped into Just Rust to drop off the fourth wheel, so it's not sitting on the space saver spare. They said the car is booked in for 3 days' work in two weeks, which should be enough to paint and finish!!

Excite :D
