welcome, nice ride.

 

ha ha thanks, it didnt cost me much even thou i dont know the exact value

 

there is something about old Audi's that I really like. I guess it's the simple boxy but taught shape, and the lure of the I5 they had. I really want an old UrQuattro.

 

ye they have the look that they meanbusiness there sexy in a weird way.i wish they made there newer cars with 5 cylinder engines cos it was like there trade mark.

 

welcome to the forums that looks like it is going to be alot of fun to work on i would love to start a new (old) audi project.keep us updated with progess pics.
good luck

 

welcome what are you doing to it for restoration?? is it really worth even to put money into something like that??

 

well first off all there is a small list to.
1/ few surface rust patches at corners of front window
2/ paint is pealed on rear bumper and lacer is pealing on roof.so for both a full body prep and respray would fix them.
3/ front cv joints need replacing. they are cheap at 80 euro for cv joint kit including boot and grease.
4/slit taping noise on cam i reckon its just the little seats the cam sits on, i had a mechanic have a listen and he says its simple job. its not bad for 140,000 miles on clock. no smoke at all its running smooth all sensores seam perfect.
5/ heater system is missing a bit in engine bay a plastic peice that tensions the wire for the heat so when i turn the hot *** the wire is not moving.
6/ plastic internal mud guard fell off so just have to fix it in again, istill have it.
7/ i want a nice stainless steal system can get one over here for only 250 euro.

There ante that much hard work to be done, i dont know what the value of it would be but it dont matter to methat much, only matters for insurance details, the fun and work involved in keeping a olderaudi on the road is priceless, money dont count in my eyes. even if i dont get any of the money i spent on it back. but for shear interest what would the value be.

 

^perfect response...it is the love of the car not the money
