when is a quattro not a quattro?

[Dave]

It could be done.  A friend of mine picked up a nearly 
new Oldsmobile that was totalled after being in a flood.
He and his wife spent several months taking it apart, 
carefully cleaning and drying everything, and putting 
it back together.  It still has a few minor electrical 
glitches and it was a lot of work, but now she has 
a new Oldsmobile for a fraction of what they would 
have paid at a used car lot.
