2001.5 Audi A4 B5

1.8T, AWD — and about ten years of sitting still to undo.

The story so far

As a student, an Audi like this felt completely out of reach. I came from an ordinary family, and back then it was strictly a car to dream about. More than fifteen years later the chance turned up — though not in the shape I had pictured. This A4 had sat for over ten years after its previous owner moved abroad; he came back only to sell the house and needed the car gone before the new owner moved in the next day. That is how it became mine. The 1.8T and AWD show ≈172,000 km. Whether an old dream runs again after a decade parked is where the channel picks up.

What comes next

Build updates, the video episodes, and the parts and tools that go into this car will be posted here as the work happens. Nothing is padded out with guesswork in the meantime.
