     Dan,
     Hooow about Dave Lawson's ur-q, see:-
     
     http://www.hcp.net/audi/reblaw1.html
     
     And then there's Ben Howell's, 'course that's a moving target.
     
     And mine, well I've been working on it, on and off for 3 years. 
     
     I think you'll find there are quite a few true restorations out there. 
     It's just the people that perform them are a bit "touched" and 
     unlikely to put them up for sale.
