Quattro Rally Build: Parts from Rennline!
Posted on Mar 18, 2021
It’s been an interesting and satisfying couple of weeks with the car. We checked off a few smaller things from the list and opened up some big things.
Right after our last update we received this package from Rennline. Based in Vermont, Rennline manufacture and sell specialized parts for mostly European cars. They are very well known for the Porsche parts, many of which we have on our 911 rally car, but also have parts for Audi, BMW and other marks. And clearly they have pars for our Quattro rally car.
The first item that grabbed our attention was a shiny tow hook. How could you miss it?
We had to modify it to mount it on the rear of our Quattro by bending it at about 45 degrees and, of course, that cracked the powder coating but, luckily, we had a can of Rustoleum that was an exact match.
The front might be a bit more of a challenge however.
We also got excited by the battery and mount Rennline supplied. We assembled it and played around with a couple of potential locations.
Trunk:
And back seat area.
Not sure yet. What do you think?
