Re: FW: Looking into getting a Coupe Quattro

[CLeiter@aol.com]

Having been through the trials and tribulations of buying and basically
rebuilding an '83 TCQ all I can say is history, history,  history. You must
know what the background is of the car. I recently bought one that was
supposed to have been "restored" and guess what, 5 months later (and atleast
$5,000.00) I'm finally getting it dialed in. But you know, I still think it
was worth it (my wife would not agree, however). Some of the things wrong
with it were: the suspension was not taken care of, the hoses had to be
replaced, I replaced the turbo, the head had to be pulled and resurfaced(?),
the four wheel drive had to be rebuilt, replaced the engine temp sensor, the
air conditioner had to be rebuilt, the cruise control moter had to be
replaced, the fuel pump had to be rewired, etc, etc, etc.
                     Make sure and get the car checked out by a good Audi
Mechanic!
Good luck, I always wanted one, and now even with all the work, it truly has
been a labor of love. 
Bye the way, this alias is terrific.
