[urq] Resale regarding Stock VS "Replica"

[Johnny B]

Well thanks for all of the replies guys! I definitely appreciate the insight and must agree with what you all have said, in building what I WANT, not what others will want. I dont plan on selling the car (ever) and if it ever did come up to market it'd be due to some unforeseen horrible circumstances. So it seems my path is a bit less foggy now, at least regarding the modifications I would want off the bat. Now I need to come to terms with what I need to hold on to, and what may be up for sale (like my pristine early dash and interior...). 

A Ur-quattro has been a dream car just out of reach for years of my life... now that I have one I feel like the dog that chases the cat all afternoon only to be confused as to what to do next when he finally corners it (my dog in this instance simply whines... wimp). 

So where do I go from here? Well, I suppose my wallet will lead the way from here... 

Oh, before I forget, someone had asked what I meant by "replica" specifically. I was referring to an A1 / A2 style rally replica. I have seen several come up for sale both in the UK & US calling out for big big cash considering they are indeed a replica and not an originally rally car. One up for sale now is asking $79k US.......
