My new (old) Audi GT (I'M RE-COUPED!!)



Wells, seems our friend with the 1987 Coupe GT was more willing to get rid of
it than I first thought.  I offered him 1200, he took 1250.  Not bad.  The car
does need some work, but I figured that out long ago.  I drove the car,
digital dash fully functional, although there are a few odd things - 
1. Clutch engagement occurs at the floor, or very near to it.  He claims he
just replaced the clutch, I found it odd that this is how the car should
behave.
2. Gear changes - occur with a very abrupt notchyness - not similar to the
heavy box in the 4000Q.  Seems to almost click into gear.  He claims that his
mechanic adjusted the gears, although I am not familiar with this practice.
It may need a new trans. mount, which might be part of the problem.  Definatly
needs new motor mounts.  
3.  Cruise control - appears to work at first, seems to lose a little speed
over time.  ??????
4. Time to start searching for replacement parts - - - - - -

Thanks for any advice/input that you guys have given me, looks like this car
is pretty neat.  Sounds great, runs well....no apparent leaks or electric
gremlins...

Later!
