[urq] New UrQ Owner and Swap...

[benswann at comcast.net]

Alan,

I'd like to check it out.

BTW,  if you don't want to go through the V8 conversion, I'll be pulling the
original engine with 107k out of my '83 UrQ - it runs fine, just want to put in
an MC at some point.  V8 conversion would be interesting though.

I'm finally got around to installing the NG I got from you, I think about 4-5
years ago.  I know how other things take priority.

Ben
Still with lots of Audis , mostly quattros - down one which is good, still have
7 Audis in driveway + 1 VW QS wagon and 1 or 2 I tend to be working on that
don't live here.
