83 Ur-Q Electrical Upgrade

["Mike Del Tergo" <mdeltergo@hotmail.com>]

<It sounds like and based from experience tha this car needs it's
electrical system upgraded to the new fuse box.>

This is relatively easy and cheap, I went with the VW Rabbit part, 
~$100, mail if you need a PN or mail Chris @ autobahn01@aol.com

<I want to upgrade the braking system to ABS, 
How much of a job was it?>

I can't say as I see the cost benefit here.  You're talking about 
replacing axles, strut housings or fitting sensors to existing 
struthousing, new brake lines, MC, Prop valve, addition of ABS brain and 
pump etc, not to mention probably new calipers and rotors to boot.
All this for a feature many Q drivers defeat when locking the diffs in 
bad weather anyway.  You could probably buy a 5000Q with ABS for the 
price of parts and time on an UrQ conversion!
Mike
