Default Hello everyone!

Hello! Well i got a 89 Audi Coupe quattro for 900 bucks here in germany. I am us military and finding a car that looks cool for cheap is kinda hard in most cases. The car needs some work (i fixed some things, but its at the dealer at the moment). I think its a cool car and if i could find a later model, id bring it back to the states. I am having probs finding a new driver window regulator( my cables are SHOT). I was having some kind of prob with the brakes (they all seemed to be grabbing) and the rear tranny seal was leaking.. all in all... its a cool car and i hope to fix it.. i want to drive it for the next 3 yrs without any probs I hope you guys can help me out

Hello! Here is a pict of the car



I hope that worked. i just started posting things from image shack. I am an army reservist, and my wife is active army. I really didnt want to get an old BMW bec EVERYONE in the military is driving them heheh.. every car looks like the same model, its either red, black, or blue... So i got this audi at a auto salvage yard on Ramstein AFB for 900 bucks (it was an sealed bid auction). I like it a lot.. i never owned a car before.. i had a 01 Nissan Frontier i had to sell before comming here. Like I said, car needed some work (right now ABS sensors, tranny rear seal, drivers window regulator) but the engine is good and the tranny is good. I will take more picts later, our dog chewed the USB cable for the camera hehe so the new one is in the mail

I am a 42L... i work in S1, or i did when i was in cali. Not a bad car for 900 bucks eh?? Yeah i need to find a window regulator, or some cables.. there is an audi 90 thats in an AF junk yard and I think a lot of the parts will work on my car.. it has the 5 cyl engine too. I think i will gut most of the car. I would get all the expensive stuff like the ABS gear, injectors, etc. I will post more picts when i can

Thank you! There is a dent below the left rear tail light, someone slightly hit the previous owner at some time.. i am going to try and pound it out, and mud it in a bit.. It also pushed the bumper attaching point in that area into the body a bit. After some more work, it will be a fine driver
