Lemme know what you need for parts. I'm sure I have whatever you need. I'm working at the shop more and hope to have it back open by the end of Summer if at all possible.

The Great Lakes GTG was at beaver Island Park this past weekend. It's on DITB. Must've been over 150 cars that showed up.

This weekend is Carlisle and I think Blown Euro's. Info also on DITB. And also just posted is Euro Car Day's which is over at the Rose Garden I think on the 13th of June? Looks like a lot of people planning on going.
I actually need to get the imfamous lower trim pieces that always rust out.

I'd take all 4 of them if you have nice (or new) ones.

Also could use pricing on a cluster, since my odometer isn't working.

Finding a good set of lowers will be tough. I have a link somewhere of a place that has them every so often. Not cheap, but new.

I have a cluster that has a bad computer display. I've "sold" it at least 4 or 5 times, but no one has ever paid for it, so it's still here.

Let me know when your tires come in and I'll mount and balance them for you.

I was thinking of buying an 1990 audi coupe quattro and it has 55,000 miles. Would you recommend me doing this things also? Also, where would I get these parts?

one of the things ppl dont realize is that timing belt is just like any other belt and will dry out and rut away. with that old of a car, yes, i would replace it. and i source most of my stuff locally most of the time. so i dont know, just try searching the forum.
