Building the faux Alpina A4 2002 touring

[Guest]

Although I am still married to my first and only wife, I am the kinda guy who likes to learn from do something once and then do again, a second time, to get it right. So, I built a 2002 Alpina A4 clone from a Sahara 73tii:

Here's a peak at the engine bay of the Sahara tii:

So, I sold that car and am now building a 2002 touring with as much Alpina who-haas as I can find.

Here's the touring on the dock in The Neatherlands, before it's long journey to the states:

Here's the touring at the 2004 Bay Area 02 Swap and Show (with the kids):

Here's the touring resting at home with it's best friend, the Golf CSL:

the diversity of these first project threads is amazing!! this is going to be fun stuff!!! are you going to put an "alpina" paintjob on it or at least the stripes? or is that *too* faux??

I'll post later with my intentions/anticipated spec sheet. But, in terms of body/paint, the only thing I might do is put on Alpina flairs -- the type that dapbmw makes out of fiberglass. No deko stripes or paint other than standard Inka.

Where can I get those rims?

You want 15" Alpina rims? Get in line :-P

There are a fair few sets around for E21's but not many around to suit the 2002's offset. Alpina stopped making them a few years ago. Maybe if there is enough interest from a few of us to remake them, they will consider producing Alpina staggered rims for the 2002 again...
