All this talk of Audi 80s recently inspired me to go looking for one, didn't take too much effort as I saw this one for sale at the side of the road the other day so went back on Thursday and bought it.
Excuse the poor photos but I took them when the sun was going down last night (Polo sulking in the background ;D)
It's done 97,000 miles, bit of T&T left but needs a bit of work and a bloody good clean. The lacquer is peeling of the roof and it needs a new bonnet.
The interior is a bit sun damaged, split dash and the tops of the seats are bleached as hell, I asked the guy if it had been parked in Arizona for 20 years but he didn't see the funny side ;D
It goes pretty well though and still feels tight, old boy owned it from 1985 to 2005.
Plans are to paint the steels black and keep the chrome centres and trim rings. I think I'm gonna do the roof and pillars gloss black, should be easy enough as there are some good seam lines to do it. It is really strangely proportioned, long bonnet and short boot.
Qual!
