New Quattro in the family



Hi listers,
After much trial and error and lots of anguish, I have an '86
5kcstq. At the price I got it for, I couldn't turn it down.
It has a couple things that need to be looked at, but I'm hoping
that my mechanic doesn't give me any gotchas this Friday when it
goes in. Fortunately, these guys are not monkey lads, so I trust
their work. Especially considering that both of them own quattros
themselves.

Although the car doesn't compare to the modded A4 that is also
in the family, it still pulls strong and easily cruises at 75-85
on the highway with a minimum of effort. Hopefully, with a bit of
work, I'll have it in pristine condition (the way my other cars
are/were kept). Anyone know of any good, relatively inexpensive
body/paint shops in the Philadelphia area?

Also, does anyone know how difficult it can be to rewire the entire
stereo system? Is that a relatively easy job for an experienced car
stereo installer? I'm going to disconnect the factory "booster" and
have an external power amp power speakers front and rear.

Regards,
Taka Mizutani
