Hi folks,

My brother-in-law has had the aforementioned '77 Audi (light blue)parked in
his garage, the object of some sporadic restoration work,  for as long as I
can remember. Well, the word has come down from she who must be obeyed that
the Audi has got to go.

IMO, it looks pretty good. Not much sheet metal rust, and about the only
visible perforation is in the crosspiece that has the hood latch in it. It
looks structurally sound despite the holes. I think Jim did some significant
rust repair  on the car in years gone by (it was his daily driver to work)
and stuck the car in the garage when he began an engine rebuild. The engine
(fuel injected) is back in the car now but I don't know what he did with it
and I doubt that the car runs at the moment.

He's talking about having a scrapper haul it away. He offered it to me but I
have too many other projects. If there's anybody who would like to save this
piece of Audi history (not a *great* era for Audi, I admit), email me off
list.
