[urq] To Modify or Not Modify

[alexander stickler]

Robin,

I went through the same soul-searching with my '83 UrQ
that was totally stock but needed some maintenance.
Ultimately, I decided that Audi has a very nice museum
in Ingolstadt where they keep a few nice, original
cars. I decided that mine doesn't need to be a rolling
museum piece - I am modifying it so that it suits me =
my dream car. 

HTH

'83 UrQ US Spec, silver, now updated with
Euro Bumpers + Headlamps, '87 Coupe GT Interior,
Corbeau Seats, complete wiring harness swap to later
style.  The 20V swap starts the day I take it off the
road for the winter.
