Looks a bit better than a wreck under a sheet, doesn't it? But that exhaust has GOT to go....
Now, how do you lock the diffs?
Here's a couple of curious things - firstly, on the right chassis leg in the engine compartment are some clips, these clips are used to hold down the battery cables for vehicles that have the battery under the bonnet, such as type 85 saloons and coupes, but quattros have the battery located under the rear seat.
Secondly, under at the rear of each sill on this car is a bracket, one that I've never seen on a quattro before. Looks to me rather like a mounting bracket for a beam axle as fitted to FWD Coupes.
Compare this with the same place on my 88 quattro 
- see what I mean?
These seem to add weight to the theory that early quattros used modified bodies that had been intended for the front wheel drive coupe.
So, how's it getting on?
