Audi 80/90 B2 A pillar

lee20vt · 24-08-12, 11:54 AM

I know it's a long shot but anyhow no harm in trying. As some of you know I've bought an Audi 90 b2 quattro and it's has corrosion at the base of the A pillars. The drivers side isn't too bad and simply requires plating over but the passenger side is a fair bit worse and so I'm thinking of cutting alot of it out and replacing it. Therefore I'm looking for somebody with a shell or basically an A pillar that I can use to piece mine back up with?
Let me know what you have.
Cheers guys!

Get in touch with stevet63 or DETROITPISTON. They both have these parts.... 100%

Cut out of shells before cars scrapped

I spoke to someone from the northeast possibly detriotpiston about pillars. He said he had some but had to confirm and said he would give me a call back with a price and never got back to me??
Just googled audi tradition and the online shop is currently offline but will try back. I'm on with the other bits I needed to, brakes are in at a local engineering company having caliper carriers made, interior is all done so the next big job is the pillars!

i replaced them on my 90 a while back... really hard to do properly because of all the layers of panels.. need to do the drivers side on my 80 sport soon too.. not lookin forward to it..

Yes I can't see it being easy! That's why I think it would be better to have some OEM material in order to piece it in! Just need to get hold of a pillar!

had some pics on my 90 thread but they seem to have dissapeared , probably when the forum switched server.. oh well... i cut part of the sill out too to get behind it.. not a concourse job but it fixed the problem.. if i could get the motivation to finish the rest of it now..
