[urq] New quattro/seat leathers

[Schaible, David]

Thanks for posting the purchase info sounds like you got a good deal if
the motor is strong, I urge you not to paint your r8's black (since mine
are), but if you insist, you can view a zermatt silver car with black
ronals at one of the east coast upg picture sites to see what it will
look like....what condition are the seats? Are they the originals?

Anyone who is interested in new leathers for the original 83 seats
should contact me. I will be getting pricing to have some fabricated.

Somebody has asked me to post the VIN, what I paid, and the mileage.  
So I guess I should provide some background on my car:
waudc0855da900558, $6750, and about 97k miles.

The car has an intended Acceleration chip, euro lights with fog light 
switches (which aren't hooked up), an 85 dash, 85 electronic diff 
locks, adjustable wastegate, Ronal R8's, and assorted parts that 
weren't really upgrades but are new on the car anyways (shocks, 
bearings, etc.).  The car is silver (ish).  The previous owner had it 
repainted zermatt silver, but it looks kind of gold in certain light, 
and in some places (chips) the paint underneath looks lighter.  I'd 
like to do something special to it, paintwise, but I want to get these 
little things out of the way first.  I'm also trying to decide whether 
to paint my wheels black or not (i love black PC wheels), but I don't 
want to do anything too drastic.

Thanks for the help, I'll have to take a look at the filters.  It looks 
as if the gauge is working properly, just making some noise.  If there 
were a leak in one of the filters, would it make noise at the filter, 
or the gauge?

Thanks again,
-Andrew
