Our Audi A2's Final Lap!

This is one we didn't want to make.
After months of building, refining, and everything that went into turning this Audi A2 into a track car we actually loved driving, it all came down to one lap at Cadwell Park. And that lap was its last.
What started as a fun "why not" project became something we were genuinely proud of. Every setback, every part we developed, every "Lets try this?" it all led here. And here is... not where we planned to end up.
We're not going to sugarcoat it, what's left of the A2 leaves us deflated and unsure what to do next, we've put so much time and effort into it that it would seem a waste to not repair it whilst at the same time its a hell of a lot of effort to do it all again š
Thanks for following this build from day one. Let us know what we should do with it, rebuild or move on?
š¬ Let us know your own "R.I.P. project car" stories in the comments, we know we're not the only ones.

Bob here from the Machine Shop. I have done a lot of repairs like this and would love to have a look. I'm sure I can make this better than new. Would be an honour to work with you guy's.
A2 was/is great viewing, hope it's rebuilt.
Ive crashed mine , rebuilt it then had a engine fire at Donington.
Currently rebuilding again
I would recommend to rebuild it, at least for the sake of A2 owners :P
