This week, we installed the restored air condition control unit and integrated its ancillary ducting into the cockpit infrastructure.As shown in the progress photographs, our specialists overhauled the main dashboard padded upper frame, repairing structural cracks and fitting the reconditioned ventilation flap levers and vacuum switch valves.

The technical Audi UrQuattro restoration at Riga Master Workshop is making systematic progress inside the cabin layout. This week, we continue assembling the car after the body painting, focusing on interior reinstallation and underbody component routing.It is important to note that the task entrusted to us by the car owner is strictly to repair and paint the body. Therefore, all removed parts are reinstalled without restoration, only repaired as necessary to guarantee correct operation. Our team secured the protective underbody elements, including the prop shaft and fuel lines, before moving inside to install the factory roof liner, floor insulation, and original black carpeting. The central console, shifter assembly, and handbrake were also carefully repositioned.Assembly photographs are available on the Riga Master Workshop website: https://www.rmw.lv/page/en/audi-urquattro-1982-assembling/#urquattro #AudiUrQuattro #RMW
