    Widebody B6 build: lots of pictures.

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    sup, im sure some of you guys remember my BMW. well had to get out of payments and my pops help me pay off this 2003 audi A4 B6 1.8T. immediately, i started cuttin it up. i realize that its not for everyone. a lot of audi guys are conservative and love oem styling, which is cool, just not my style.

    my E46 for reference


    and on to the workshop, aka my carport in my backyard :cool

    started with this







    quick headlight mod



    on to the good shit



    shaved the fenders down almost even, to prepare for the welding.


    and cleared out the trunk to start on some ICE. hopefully elemental designs can come through with some great products for a great price.


    im hoping to get my friends welder and finish up the fenders within the next 2 weeks.

    until then, decided to start on the wire tuck

    before(motor had a thrown rod)



    after (battery will be moved to trunk, ABS and coolant res moved to battery area,engine harness routed under old battery location under the firewall power steering res tucked, custom AC lines will be made and ran along the frame rail.



    thats all i really got right now.

    not sure what motor is going in yet, to tell you the truth.

    suspension is going to be air ride. too much of a pain to roll a static drop esp with my custom front bumper thats coming

    i would post a photoshop of my front setup, but there are too many lurkers who prolly got more money than i do :rofl )

    ill update as much as i can

    1 thing i wanna make clear, i didnt wanna go too wide. i like the lines of this car. but rocking some stanced wheels with fat ass lips is too tempting.
    already have DPE as a sponsor. currently talking to: JLine, Work, and forgeline about wheels as well. doing all the work myself, besides paint. white im doing a porsche color. ill reveal it as time gets closer

    I've never seen a widebody done this way...always thought they were bolt on fenders.

    Way to go, I'm stoked to see how it turns out

    He's going to weld in the gaps...grind down the welds....sand...paint.

    yea basically. front im welding in the smaller gaps and bracing the inside of the fenders with 18ga metal. lot of grinding and sanding.

    rears im probably adding 1.5-2" of material and same deal, filling, grinding, sanding.

    using the least amount of bondo as possible. the welds should be all filled in, and once grinding down a small arount of bondo to shape it all.

    Re: Widebody B6 build: lots of pictures.

    can you even weld that? I mean wouldnt you have to put something in the gap and weld that to the the fenders to fill it in? Just seems like a ton of work, and good luck to the OP

    yeah, i wanted to do everything fully custom. if i did rs4 fenders up front, they may have been more round then my rear fenders, and would have been a task to try to match em up.

    you would need the front and rear doors along with the rear quarters if you want to use the front fenders. The b7 and b6 contour lines dont line up.

    This is how a body shop would do it...if they're into custom work and all.
