RE: Ur-Q ... buyer's market or seller's market?

It seems to me that you can modify what you want so long as it's a bolt on
and you keep the original parts.  New WG spring - ok keep the old one in a
safe place in case some anal retentive - obsessive compulsive wants to buy
the car and restore it to factory original.

Just keep it out of the ditch (and don't paint it)!

 Okay, as one of the few owners of an '85 quattro here in the states, I'll
jump in the fire. I generally agree with JG on this one. While numerous
people recommended to me doing things like the two piece manifold and K24
turbo upgrade, I've gone through some painstaking efforts to do everything
factory original on mine.
 In fact I cringe each time I have to take something a part because I feel a
responsibility to get it back together as true to original as possible. The
exception to that is I have decided I will upgrade the wastegate spring and
computer to gain a more "European" feel to the car. It is likely I'll
upgrade the stereo too.
 Otherwise, as I've said I feel an obligation to originality. I don't feel
that way about my 90q20v. I'll gladly increase displacement, bolt on a
supercharger or turbo charger when and if it can be done in a cost effective
manor. What I am lacking for my ur quattro is time. Gees, for some more
time!
