"The" B8 S4 Avant

Matt Jacksons dream of owning a supercharged manual B8 S4 Avant seemed like a fantasy being that they were not coming to the United States. Undeterred, Matt decided to take matters into his own hands and figure out how to make his dreams a reality. Why not combine the S4 sedan which WAS available in the United States with an A4 Avant? Both B8 chassis, can't be that hard... right? This was no small feat, as it required a significant amount of mechanical knowledge and a lot of hard work but Matt decided to give it a shot. 

The process of swapping the entire car was a challenging one. Matt had to carefully disassemble the S4 Sedan and transfer all of its components, including the engine and transmission, to the A4 Avant body. He also had to make sure that all of the wiring and electronics were properly connected and functional. This was a time-consuming and complicated process, but Matt was determined to see it through to the end.

In the end, Matt's hard work and dedication paid off. The end result was a unique and beautifully crafted Audi S4 Avant that combined the best elements of both cars. Matt was incredibly proud of his creation, and it quickly became the talk of the Audi community. It was a true testament to his mechanical skill and creativity, and it demonstrated his love for the Audi brand and his passion for cars. 

Once the car was up and running the modding began:
