It seams that everyone and their grandma is doing an SQ conversion of some sorts. This one is no different. Sort of similar to the highoctane guys, however our kit is in Carbon Fibre and from a different source.
Here is the progress so far.
The car stripping day, engine was first to go, not sure why Mr Hopton is so happy.
OK, engine is out, now what??
This will be fun to fix, NOT
Car flipping day, now I can start cleaning the bottom side. doh!
Beautiful Georgia rust free floors..
Big thanks to Mike H and Craig C (highlander) for their help so far!
Naah... managed to cut away the front end, the battery tray on the 4kq portion and look at where i need to drill the spot welds on the roof.
Always something comes up each day.. little frustrating.

Some issues on the bottom of the A-pillar, the sunroof drain was pushed back into the pillar and all the slaty water did damage to the bottom door hinge and obviously bottom the pillar itself.
Next I'll be moving onto the driver side, just need to find another spare 20min :lol:
I don't quite know why, but every time I see a project of this mangitude unfold, it is kind of emotional for me. We..............you are bringing a old idea to fruition for us.
The group b era for me, is the ultimate evolution of the road going car. I know that cars like the Ford Rs 200, the Lancia Delta S4, the Metro 6R4,in so many ways ,were superior to the original concept of the Audi sport quattro, however moving on 25 years, we have the skills to build something that , then was so limited in production numbers for a few people who could afford them.
Like Mike said "Game on"
We're building 600 hp group b monsters on a comparative peanut budget, compared to the works cars that command the mega money that they do today.
FWIW - You guys amaze me! I can't even find the time to post my project and continue to work on it! Over the holidays, I got the 10vt out of the URQ and am getting ready to prep the engine bay for the 20vt and install the appropriate wiring harnesses. Thanks for your support.. parts! Keep up with the great project... it keeps me motivated.
Keep it up Martin, I can't even fathom a project of this magnitude! Respect
