Stripped 1987 Audi Quattro diecast body beside its matching donor assembly

The 1987 Audi Quattro DIY Hot Wheels kit includes a stripped diecast body shell and its matching original component assembly, ready for preparation, paint, and reassembly. Its angular coupe body arrives in bare stripped metal, making the molded body lines visible while you plan the finish.

Included with the Audi Quattro kit

  • One stripped 1987 Audi Quattro diecast body shell
  • Matching original chassis, interior, glazing, and wheel assembly
  • Factory wheel-size reference: 10 mm front and 10 mm rear
  • One kit per purchase

The shell and original component assembly are separated for finishing. Test-fit the parts before final assembly. The listing notes that model glue or rubber cement may be needed for a secure fit. See the 1987 Audi Quattro DIY kit listing for current details.

Plan the bare-metal finish

The stripped body is supplied for surface preparation and paint. Primer, paint, clear coat, and masking materials are not included, so select and supply your preferred finishing materials. Tools and adhesive are also the buyer’s responsibility. Plan the color and finish before beginning, then test-fit the body and components before applying paint or adhesive.

The product description calls out the body’s angular coupe lines. Use those molded features to guide your finish plan and review the stripped shell in the photos before ordering. The photos are representative of the guaranteed casting rather than a promise that every donor component will look identical.

Factory wheel sizing and assembly

The wheel-size reference is 10 mm at both the front and rear. The included wheel assembly is described as original. Replacement axles and custom wheels are not included; if you want to change the setup, check replacement fit before purchasing. The listing links to custom wheel kits for optional choices.

Dry-fit every component before final assembly. The body and donor assembly are separate for finishing, and model glue or rubber cement may be needed for a secure fit. This preparation step lets you see how the pieces align and plan the finish without assuming a paint or assembly method that the listing does not specify.

Photo variation and exclusions

Original wheel style, interior color, and glazing color may vary among available kits. Display scenery and the completed appearance of any background vehicle are not included. The listing guarantees the Audi Quattro casting and provides representative images of the kit components.
