1979 Audi 80 Fox GT2871R Eliminator 350hp 1.8t
Running and driving, yet currently in the middle of a bolt in under the dash master cylinder conversion. Leaving it up to the individual to proceed forward or reinstall the oem brake booster system which comes with a custom shortened 1.8t intake manifold (so clears the brake booster). And under dash heater box and fresh air system complete box if you go the oem master cylinder route. You'll keep this out if doing the under dash mount as must be removed like Mk1 Rabbits to do the swap. Once either is mounted, your cost will be ~$60 for some easy bend brake lines from any hydraulic shop (bend as easy as coat hangers, any one can do and install).
Here's the bnib under dash master cylinder conversion and custom shortened ceramic coated short intake if you ever want to swap back to the oem brake system.
Car was taken down to unibody, respray of undercarriage being rubberized, polyurethane coated fender wells, complete restoration of entire trunk (every nut, washer, hose, gas tank, trunk springs ceramic coated), all suspension components, steering rack system.

Custom this custom that it's basically a Mk4 shoved into an Mk1 Rabbit.

Entire gas tank, 100% nylon stainless woven gas lines, ~800hp pump and billet filter, fittings all the way the rail all redone...basically redid everything.
The paint is....looks fantastic from ~10', which was next to do after putting in Vintage Air AC System (not included) (https://www.ebay.com/itm/264256267253)
Only issue outside finishing the brake booster to drive:
- Is you choosing how to ~hold the hood down, as the hood lock has been removed as mounts where the custom radiator is. I didn't really want hood pins, it can be as easy as sliding in a cotter pin/mk4 lever through the grill slats or your choice???? I was actually doing vintage auto hood straps:
Which I may do in redOnly issue driving, is to tackle the wiring the provided MSD tach converter (if you want to do it, not required to drive). Other then that full dash, hazards, lights, blinkers, dome light, wipers etc all work. Vagcom port under passenger footwear.
