[urq] Re: Non urq content, but all(road) audi content

Jim, that sucks. I only have this piece of advise:
Stay the hell away from SVE. Their work on my '83 was
shoddy, at best. Plus they were rude to me when I took
it back to complain that the front fender they
sectioned for me bubbled with rust in 1 year (despite
not being driven in the winter). In the end I bought
new fenders and had a guy in Englewood completely redo
all their paint work for me.
