[urq] Door pocket fix

[John Karasaki]

Brandon/Guys:

What timing!  I have a set in near perfect condition that I was going to 
post on the Audifans.com marketplace.  I haven't posted them because I have 
no idea how much they are worth and how I should price them.

My understanding is that these door pockets came off a '82 euro urq that 
was rolled in the early '80's with very little miles on it.  Alot of 
interior parts from this car came with my former '82 urq when I bought it 
from the original owner who lived in the Bay area.  Maybe Steve B. 
remembers the car?

Anyway, how much are these worth and does anyone want to buy them?  Send me 
an e-mail off list.  Thanks.

John
