Bruno's former car that he sold to the Sprongl's (of Georgetown, Ontario)
It looks good with the repaint.
Still has that Bruno look. White B pillar, Pin stripe, VAG adjustable mirrors, Window vents, Lighter shade of brown. That car is probably the hottest A2 in existence with the Lehmann 20V motor. Mechanically its very similar to my car, but I'm not running an audisport block nor do I have the A2 fenders. I also removed the adjustable mirrors in favor of bullet mirrors. I have kevlar A1 fenders in the front and stock unibody in the rear. I know that that one and mine have the magnesium wheel bearing housings. I'm not sure about Shokans struts. I also don't know if any have magnesium transmission housings.
Shokan's car, Sprongl's car and my car are like siblings. Would be cool to have them all in the same place for a photo.
If Buffum could bring his original Group 4 car, that would be awesome.

Magnesium housing's
Which part of the bearing housing are you referring too? Not the part at the end of the A-arm?
As far as the transmission case, how could you tell the difference between the magnesium and aluminum?

Yes
A few things to notice that make it an Unmistakable Audisport motor is the exhaust cam driven power steering pump. That is REALLY hard to find or replicate. The intake manifold, exhaust manifold are S1E1. Its dry sump so the whole oil pump setup is totally different.
Bruno upgraded this car to a 20V motor to keep it competitive. The Mouton car that Shokan has is the 10V that was more or less a keepsake for Bruno. He raced this 20V alot. When the value of this chasis and motor got too expensive he built my car in the late 90s. As Waldemar put it, Bruno and Hoppen were tight so he could get enough parts to pretty much run and maintain 3 rally quattros in the late 80s and early 90s. Although never officially a works program he had Audi factory support with spares as soon as the rally ended and until it began. I have a good collection of receipts and invoices between Bruno and Audisport for parts he purchased at some very good prices.

Magnesium has that particular color. Kinda gold/green
Aluminum looks like a standard transmission like the one in the picture you and I have.
