That's been done.  Talk to Martin at BR Motorsport - he's reconditioned at
least two ex-desert quattros.

You obviously haven't seen the latest in quattro cover technology - available 
in several shades of vinyl (including transparent) and complete with its own

Nitrogen - although this is said to be bad for the tyres.

(And all of that was absolutely true!)
