Information A2 Pick-up conversion project

[A2Steve]

I am of course looking forward to taking the A2 pick-up out for a spin and would be happy to bring it along for a meet-up (when it is finished) now that it looks like we are over the worse of the pandemic (fingered crossed)

@Cenick and I are in the early stages of planning a south west meet around the Cheddar George area which will be a nice drive out later in the year. You would be very much welcome.

Sounds good, I will have to tell Kaz to get a move on

That retrim really is very high end isn’t it. Hats off to you with the colour choices, it oozes quality.

I have the feeling this car is going to kick up quite a storm when it gets on the road.

Agreed. The re-trim looks really impeccable ? @Bobeee who did you use for the leather trim?

That has to be the cutest little pick up I've ever seen, the colour combo is stunning, I do hope to see this little gem at a car meet, may be Audi's in the park?

Pretty sure I could make a pickup in about an hour with an angle grinder, but seeing as it took the professionals a few years to complete I think I’d never have the tools, skill or time to do it

That’s very special isn’t it?

 

[Proghound]

Wow, what a finish ... and that interior! I'd seen the in-works shots and I always thought the result would be worth seeing, but that's just something special

Just read on face of the book, a video will be done when time allows

Many thanks for putting that on Steve. Sensational is the understatement. Would love to see it in the "metal"

A pleasure for those of us who don't "do" social media.

 

[A2Steve]

They've posted to say that they will do a more in-depth build video. Would like to see more of the interior.

Hi Folks, I have just posted a short update, but in the wrong place! However, thanks to Kaz's Facebook postings, I can see that Steve has already updated everybody with latest photos - thanks Steve! Like Simon, i don't really do social media..
Anyway, back to the story. I am now the very proud owner of a rather exclusive A2 Pick-up. Kaz and his team at Surrey Auto Works have done a fantastic job as you can also see from the images. I can also confirm that it looks even better 'in the metal'. And yes, Kaz has indeed said that he is going to prepare a more in-depth video. I certainly plan to bring the pick-up along to one of the A2OC meets next year, so everybody can take a first hand look at this lovely vehicle. I also have to think about what i am going to do (if anything) about some form of tonneau cover. I have had a number of ideas, but i don't want to spoil the 'show-car' looks with ugly studs or hooks. Any suggestions? As you can see from these photos, there is a secure space below the load bay floor. this is released by two buttons with a key in the centre to lock-it

Here are some more photos of the project progression

Certainly looking forward to seeing it - I should think there'll be a crowd

hey bobeee, is there a reason you swapped the slatted grille in favour of the smooth one?

Yes, I thought that the smooth grill was more in keeping with the original design of the A2. I suspect that the 'fake slatted grill' was probably an attempt by the then Audi marketing department to make the car look more 'normal'. I also think that the smooth grille (somewhat ironically) makes the car look more modern
