You and about 1000 other Audifans around the globe.
finding a 2 door 4000 sedan is literally a needle in a haystack.

Isn't that a bit high for you Doug? .....Real estate must really be starting to rebound.   Good luck and be patient....I'm sure someone will eventually just give you one.  Hank and I have talked more than once about that build.

It may actually be easier to convert a 2-door sedan to Quattro--and I don't say that lightly.

Somebody in NC was begging me to buy a 5+5 a couple years ago when I was looking for garage space... lost their email
Jonathan - I had thought about doing it by grafting in the quattro floor pan and rear diff/suspension, then thought finding and cutting up a nice enough (non rusty) rare 2 door would be difficult... which led me to the idea of finding a 2 door that was wrecked or had rusty floors and graft in the doors and rear windows onto my good solid 4kq donor...
probably equally difficult either way

Probably equally awful jobs. The way you want to go allows you to find a not-so-great 2-door, which will save money. The fitting and welding work will be very time consuming, but so would be all of the work of swapping pans. I was actually thinking of building everything in the rear as I did and leaving what didn't need to change in the pan in place.

It's also way too nice to cut up.
