The Story
Once upon a time, I bought a C4 generation A6 Avant for a winter beater/trail beater. My then girlfriend/now fiancé met in that car and put thousands of off-road miles on that car. It saw hundred of miles of dirt roads and snow without skipping a beat. Unfortunately that car had been t-boned in the right rear enough for the door to not seal and it wasn’t sensible to keep modifying that car. We eventually sold it off to a friend and bought a near-mint twin to keep the tradition going. It’s still powered by an anemic 2.8l V6 and an automatic transmission (the only options available), but that is soon changing in favor of a 2.2l i5 Turbo and 5 speed direct from a C4 S6. Come along as we build this car from a boring, comfortable cruiser into a fire breathing monster.
