I saw a couple of mails recently asking about galvanized Audis from '86. Having owned an '86 4kQ I can tell you the 4000's were NOT galvanized (I did wheel-well mods, I know for sure!). In fact, I believe the 4000's were never galvanized (even in later years). I do know that the '86 5000's WERE galvanized however (as were the 80/90's that replaced the 4000's). -Mark Quinn
