Quattro at last (or Let me in Muhammad)



Just drove my "new" 86 4KCS QUATTRO home from New Jersey to Long Island. Man,
it hugs those curves so well. This car replaces my 86 4KS which was recently
bashed (read totaled) by that A$%hole lexus I recently told you about. Will
try to fix the 4ks up as a spare. 

White with beige velour interior. Would really love a black Quattro cloth or
leather interior (heated seats a must since this car has them but only drivers
side works). The paint seems original with some rust around wheel wells and
cracking on tail spoiler.

The clutch is pretty shabby, but gonna stick it out if I can. Car has 120K,
suspension feels tight and the sport seats really give great lateral support.
Squeaky belts (what a surprise) and sticky door handles (gonna have to tackle
that one for sure). Water accumulates in the pass side tail light & pours into
the trunk when raining. Anyone have an idea on that one? A/C charge was lost
when po did heater core. Should i just consider this a blessing? 
The sunroof slides nice & the roof liner is in tact. The car was bought from a
lister, which instilled some confidence in me.

Any comments or suggestions greatly appreciated.
