Sounds good idea

Good solid Audi 80
went for £920 last time and hadn't even made the reserve price

^ I think it went for a grand mate, which I think was the reserve, but it was re-listed very quickly afterwards with no mention of the previous winning bidder.

Does look nice, quite tempting!

Just out of interest, how easy/hard is it to get a new central locking pump that goes in the boot?

c1 yum · 05-09-13, 08:56 PM

Me again. Just looking at the pics, shouldn't it have a solid sunroof instead of the glass version? My old 80 SC had a solid sunroof.

Good spotting....most definitely an after market sunroof.
Audi Coupe gt's have central locking?...not sure if its the same part though

I had a good chat with the owner about this and got the MOT history for the car. The most recent MOT had the advisories as follows:

Both sides inner and outer sills corroding
Offside front wing corroded (visible in the pics, not a problem)
Both front chassis corroding.

Interestingly back in 2007 the advisory was:
Both rear outer sills weak and very rusty

So I'm guessing someone may have done something about them back then but the problem has reared its ugly head again?

Shame because I was very keen on this car, but after seeing this "I'm out" ;->
