2Bennett Audimotive is skilled in authentic restorations and enhanced restorations. What does that mean? We understand

the way your Audi came from the factory and we know how to create the ultimate machine of your dreams. Whether that

means perfectly original, updated to function reliably with stock appearance, or create a one of a kind machine that reflects

why you chose the car in the first place. We can fix the problems of age and older technology or remove it all and start the

project from an empty shell. We are highly skilled with all Audi years and models.

Here are some examples.

Sport Quattro-

This car was originally shipped to the Country of Oman as an Alpine White street version with air conditioning. It had been painted bright green and then painted dark Forest Green Metallic over the original paint. The car was shipped to the USA and the new owner is an Audi collector and track enthusiast. The task was to restore all aspects of the car to show quality and to be track ready. This series of photos is a brief look at the transformation.

The engine bay shows the years of life in the desert climate. Though the car had very low hours and good maintenance, there was much to do. Oxidation on metal parts, dried hoses, and aged plastic parts were all addressed. Aluminum parts such as intake manifold, valve cover, oil pan, turbo housing, air meter housing, airbox, etc. processed to like new appearance and coated with clear ceramic. All the Steel nuts, bolts, piping, and other parts were abrasive cleaned and Zinc plated before paint. Plastic parts, hoses, and AC system were replaced. Timing belt service performed along with all fluids and tune up parts replacement. Spots of green paint were removed from parts spanning the entire car.

Complete and thorough pressure washing and removal of the drive train were performed before entering the body and paint phase. The entire body was sanded down to the original white base while avoiding cutting through to the Kevlar structure.

Ready for concourse and race track.

1985 Original quattro We bought the car as a "basket case" from a customer that had taken it apart completely to a shell and quit the project. We sold the car to a customer and he put most of it back together with plans to have us install a new engine.
Bare shell with all mechanical and interior parts removed	Parts were all fin boxes in random order
Empty engine bay ready for new engine	4.2 V8 ready for install after full service of belts, gaskets, water pump, etc.
Engine conversion finished. Including 2B Aluminum radiator, 2B carbon fiber air box, fully functioning air conditioning, 2B engine mounts and brackets, 2B Aluminum flywheel and clutch, 2B full exhaust system, modified subframe, vacuum brake conversion, etc.	After the mechanicals and engine were completed it was determined that the car deserved a complete paint and body refurbishment. The body was disassembled and all the trouble spots were repaired.
A glossy fresh paint job.	The big front mount radiator and AC. condenser required extra room in the bumper. We redesigned the valence before painting.
'83 original quattro Our customer as a kid always wanted an original quattro coupe. When he grew up, it was time. He found one advertised on ebay as being in great condition and bought it. It needed work. The customer sent it to his longtime repair shop near his home in Southern California for a paint job and an updated 10v turbo engine. He ordered lots of new parts from different places as well as several things from us. We even consulted with the shop working on the car to help with the engine and wiring. After a year or so, it became apparent the tech's were not going to be able to finish the project. The paint job however was completed. After many conversations over time the decision was made to ship the car as is to 2Bennett. We took delivery of a shiny coupe with what looked like a nearly completed engine update. All is not as it appears. The engine and most of its components were just for show with much missing hardware, no gaskets, and finger tightened nut and bolts. We talked to the customer and came up with a new plan. Get rid of the old mechanical fuel injection and install an AAN code 20v 5 cylinder turbo with more modern electronic fuel injection. With the increase in power, the brakes would be upgraded with 2B Stage2 fronts. Read the full story of this cars journey from an ebay lemon to a spectacular machine.
1st thing was to empty the engine bay and thoroughly clean it.	The new engine and wiring installed. The engine features 2B connecting rods, 2B turbo and oil/ water lines, 2B radiator, 2B intercooler, 2B baffled oil pan, 2B intake tract and silicone hoses, 2B 3" turbo back exhaust, 2B software, air conditioning, RS2 intake manifold, exhaust manifold, airbox, etc
Completed car. Looks great and drives great.	By completion we had the car for almost a year doing the engine, drive train refreshment, new sound system, and proper road test time. We were glad to have completed a great car for a guy who had waited for the shop that started the job and 2Bennett to finish the job. He was really happy.
The phone rings -"I crashed my car, but it was running great". We trucked the car from Malibu to 2Bennett to see what we were dealing with. It was worse than it looked. The right front frame rail that took the impact of the boulder was destroyed and it bent the A pillar, door, and roof.	The car would have been considered a total loss, but the recent upgrades raised the value above the repair cost. So we stretched it out and straightened the frame. When the roof and A pillar were within 1mm we replaced the front rail and apron section. The car was bagged and we painted the new parts.
We took some of our Sport quattro rally parts off the shelf and stuck them on the car for a photo. He loved the idea and said "let's do it". The only problem was that we only were making front end parts at the time.	We got a set of original Audisport A2 quattro rear panels. Turns out they were made for race cars and not a glossy painted possible show car. We then painstakingly reshaped, straightened, and smoothed out the panels.
A hard gel coat is applied and buffed to a mirror finish. Prepared panels are molded directly from the car to ensure proper fit. All 2Bennett molds have class A smooth surfaces.	We removed all the original fenders, hood, and quarter panels to install the 2Bennett composite parts. The rear panels are removed at all the factory spot welds. We removed and sealed all the exposed corrosion from the 25 year old chassis and bonded the new parts in place.
The entire body needed to be sanded bare to smooth out 2 prior paint jobs. The last paint job was 3 years old, now wavy, and showing rust. We also fixed hidden sheet metal damage at the door handles, roof, and deck lid.	The whole car and all parts were primed with an epoxy primer that is sanded smooth before any color is applied.
As you can see, we built a rolcage to reinforce the chassis that still allows for a complete interior and painted it to match the outside. We painted the engine bay because the last paint job was flaking off.	Of course this project has hundreds of special parts we make for this and similar cars. The brake booster was converted to vacuum, intercooler, lights, front support, airbox, etc. were all upgraded again. It helps that we have original Sport quattro parts to use as reference and improve upon.
Fit and finish. Top view of the 2B carbon grill, intercooler, and front support.	We updated the interior with custom upholstered black suede rear seats to match the new Recaro front set, later coupe dash and instruments, 2B 3 gauge dash pod, S2 steering wheel.
