From A4 (B6) to RS4 (B7)

[Billi]

Hi!
Just wanted to post some pictures of my B6 to B7 conversion:)
The car is a 2004 A4 1,9TDi Quattro.
It started about a year ago when a friend of mine told me about a new RS4 interior. Bought that, and then there was no stopping!
I will let the pictures talk:

more....






starting the build:

[Billi]

Off to paint!


at first I was unsure...


NOW I love it!


some wiring to do:


yesterday:

[BsixSfour]

Nice..... Are you keeping the 1.9 engine though?

[Billi]

this is the build so far...
Now I'm off to install my KW suspension and new brakes.. Hope they will fit:)

If someone has ever installed (successfully) the RS4 steering wheel on a B6 A4, I would like to know it will work.
Do not want to order it before I am sure about the airbag issue...

[AHB900]

wow amazing

[Billi]

Nice..... Are you keeping the 1.9 engine though?

But of course!
It's a high performance mashine so I have to fill it up with diesel!! :)

[Anthony]

Pretty damn crazy. Although, if you're keeping the same engine perhaps I should move this to the B6 A4 Forum...or wait, would it be the B7 A4 Forum...

why not just buy one, looks like u have dropped a grip on parts

[TonyD]

Wow. Awesome build man! That takes guts and some money to pull off!

[Billi]

You have not seen the prices for these type of cars in Norway have you:)
A used one would cost about 220000 dollars!!!

[Eddie Man]

But of course!

Wowza, what a project !!!
Can't wait to see the final shots.

Questions: What do you have planned for the exhaust? Perhaps your stock exhaust w/just the RS4 Oval tips transfered.
That's a pretty unique color choice. Is that an Audi OEM color that is available in the Norway? Or just your creation.
It looks great either way.

[JMG]

wow, that's pretty amazing! Looking forward to seeing the final product, but one of your pics got me thinking... how sick would it look if you kept it matte black?

[$4c@b]

sick build!

is it common in Norway to do such an extreme transformation or are your friends equally as impressed as we are?

[Alister]

Crazy stuff!!!

Look forward to seeing the finished product.

[zbrock06]

i wonder the amount of money that was spent

[cellg8]

Like what others said...that IS AMAZING! Can't wait to see the finished product!

[FastB7S4]

+1 to all of the above! I guess this is not your daily driver since you would be out a car for a while.

Those RS4 seats look more sporty/race car-like than the ones we have here. Ours are just the S4 Recaro's with RS4 lettering.

Also, you guys watch Nascar in Norway?

[whitevdub]

wow...thats all i have to say. this is turning out amazing, good question though. is it now a b7 or still a b6? haha

[FastB7S4]

Aside from the model year, my vote is that it's now a B7 since really, the exterior is the only difference.

[isb]

Wow - amazing project.

For exhaust I want a stainless stell type from Supersprint for TDi, but it will have to wait because of cashflow.. So for now I will install oval tips from Porsche...
Paint is part Chrysler, but with some custom touch:)
Thanks for your comment!

We are all pretty sick over here! :) Must be the climate!
We have many nice cars over here that has been put plenty of hours into!
You should come over some time. (check out www.gatebil.com)

It is my daily driver:) Started working on it April.25th! (exterior)
Hope to be finished soon..

I think the seats are more common in europe. They are very sporty. You need a crowbar to get out of them... not for old people!

I love nascar, and my friend too (his garage). I've only been to one race, but we can follow some races on Eurosport..

[DarkW!sh]

+100 points man thats a sick ass B6.5 and THE TDI factor is simply HOTT. its just america thats hattin on the Diesel

[i_eat_staples]

lol thats badass

we dont see many full-blown builds like these on the boards, keep up the work and keep us posted!

[zachf88]

interesting..... but nascar

[MOFSTEEL]

A complete waste of time and money.

[wat2022]

Billi I see your point, it looks great!!

[SEXICÄN]

any more pics?

[Billi]

today:

[wat2022]

What color is that?

[RAudi Driver]

I love this thread. Can't wait to see the final project. Total Kudo's to you for taking on such a project. Don't mind Mofsteel, he's just jealous cause his car is so plain jane looking.

[ngng]

looks good. for the money, why did you put RS4 brakes on? why not an aftermarket set? are tehy going to paint the engine bay, inside fender wells, etc?

[zachf88]

what trunk lip-spoiler is that?? I'm interested in seeing more pics!

[JoeM]

Nice build man, lots of dedication to that.

[srsly]

I thought you bought an RS4 I was gonna say congrats

[bklein8888]

fantastic pictures! i cannot imagine like so many others how much you must have spent! hopefully you have a friend with a body/paint shop! amazing transformation...can't wait to see the final result!

[DGS4]

Only in Europe do these crazy chop weld and full rebuild exists. Its sick and im loving it, Although it must have cost ALOT to do the full body conversion.

Theres another sick B6 Avant build in the Avant forum, where a guy did a full strip down of his car and wide bodied it. I was following that one, now theres two to keep an eye out for.

Sickness.
