Early 4000 Questions

["George Achorn" <coolidge@tidalwave.net>]

Hi All,
	I am currently looking to buy a low budget car and have several options.
One of which is an early 4000. I was looking through a book I have about
Quattro racing history that I picked up back in highschool, and I like the
look of the early 4000s. I am not familiar with what years they were
available in the US. I mean the model prior to the '86 I testdrove. It
didn't have the big 1 piece bumpers and fascias. It had the old black
plastic style. I think it was made up until '84.
	I also want to know if they brought those early cars over in Quattro form.
Which years are best for this car? I would presume the later ones ('83 or
'84?) but am not sure. If it did come with Quattro did it have 4 or 5 lug
bolt pattern? If 4 is there a way to upgrade so that newer Audi Rims or the
Older Audi Fuchs will fit?
	Whatever I get I want to tinker with, so the idea of an old Audi with big
old PIAAs on the front and some slight upgrades really makes sense to me.
It appeals to me more when I think of retrofitting a 5V 1.8T into it. Seems
like a cool winter car. 
	I appreciate any help on buying one of these.-G
