AUDI A4 B6 to B7 RS4 Widebody Replica Conversion Build Diary

[adeelkhan323]

Thought i'd get my door mirror out and assemble it.

[Mr. Corey]

This is insane!!! But Awesome

[B5stgIII]

This is going to look so sharp.

[adeelkhan323]

thanks

I've taken it of. Its lying on the floor in my garage. Haven't got round to putting it on ebay. You can have it if you want, but you'll have to collect it.

I got my rs4 boot lid delivered and all the corners where bent. So i don't trust delivery companies.

I'll take it, we just need to discuss shipping somehow (I'm in the US). Please PM me if/when you get the chance. Thanks

I'm going to be installing RS4 mirrors as well. Any chance you can tell me what the mounting plates cost? I have the mirrors, glass, and other stuff, just not the plates.

The mounting plates where about 40 pounds from Audi Trade. I managed to get everything i needed for 50 pounds, mirror glass, casing, inner mounting, mounting plate, electric motor and screws. On EBAY. I got Lucky.

Got the rear glass out today.
I bought a sealent cutting nife. It was crap, didn't do anything.
Took me half a day and didn't even get the side quarter glass of..

SO. I got some cutting wire and mannaged to get rear screen and both quarter glass of in less than half an hour.

Love the build! I am looking at doing just the front end of my B6 to a B7 a4 or s4.

I think I saw most of the parts I need by looking at your pictures, but could I ask all of the parts you needed just for the FRONT end? This is what I have, B7 Fenders, hood, radiator support, bumper, grill, headlights, anything else?

Hi, you'll also need the front bumper reinforcement bar and the two dampers that hold it on.

Also, i hope your aware, the line on the b7 wings, is lower than the b6 doors. So you will have to modify your wings to make it look right.

Started on the spot welds.
There loads of them
Have to make sure i don't go through both layers of body.

TYRES FITTED COURTESY OF R I TYRES, BLACKBURN.
FITTED WITHOUT GET A SINGLE CHIP ON MY WHEELS.
I ONLY TRUST THE BEST,

I WAS SUPPRISED THAT THEY HAVE ENOUGH CLEARENCE FROM THE SPRINGS.
BUT STILL NEED SPACERS AS THEY ARE TO FAR IN.

Are you enjoying drilling out all those spot welds? :D

[adeelkhan323]

Are you enjoying drilling out all those spot welds? :D

HA HA HA, There's hundreds of them.

Having to make sure i don't drill threw both layers of metal is a mission.

The hardest part is still to come, lining it all up. Any tips.

[adeelkhan323]

Got the other quarter, removed all the extras, now just left with the outer quarter.

Test fitted the right quarter to see how it looks.
Clamped in place. Lined up ok, but needs a bit of tweaking.
Still need to do something about the inner arch. Not sure what.

In regards to the inner wing you should have left the old one on and cut a section off so that it would have bridged the gap.

What you will need to do now is cut the old inner wing so that it can be re-welded to the outer and then weld to the exsisting inner wing.

Good idea. Well you learn from your mistakes.
I think thats what i'll do. Cut the old rs4 inner arches and attach them a4 arches.

Thanks for the advice.
