Default How I revived a 90 Quattro.

Well, I'm new here and relatively new to Audi in general, I've owned everything from Pontiacs to Saabs to Nissans and must say that this vehicle (being my most recent) and definetly my favorite. I didn't just buy this and drive it, oh no. About 2 years ago I had noticed that a local used dealership has a 95 Audi 90 Quattro Sport 5spd sitting behind their main building. The car always attracted me, even though it had heavy front-end damage. I looked at it about once a month, just thinking about how much I could get it more and what I would have to do to fix it. The rest of the car was fine exterior. It obviously needed a new hood, probably a fender, headlight, etc. I knew their would be more work involved.

Well here it is at the lost about a week before I bought it.

So yeah, I've put some good work into, all work was my own except I had the help of paint friend for the fender and the hood. Other than that, I learned alot about the car ;-).

Either way, the car has been great, and I got a STEAL on it for being a 95 with only 95,000miles on it.

Default WOW... I'm going to need your help soon enough, just got one that doesn't run for a project

(dunno if you already saw my pics below, but its a 95 90 Q sport 5speed, 130K just the same, except the body is all good on mine) I'm still giddy(as a school girl) with excitement! Hell, I'm still up at almost 3am checking out websites and specs of these cars.

Default keep the usual stuff maintained and change out worn mounts and you are set

can do quick upgrades like A4/allroad tranny mounts, short shifter etc and get better feel.
