Hey All,
I know this is a forum for S2's, but have seen a few ur quattro's on here, so I thought I would start a thread on my project.
I have a 1988 urquattro (mb) in tornado red with 108,000 miles. I bought this car in Nov. 1999 with 93,000 miles, and used it as a weekend car for a 2 - 3 years and then parked it (inside thankfully!) as other hobbies took over for a while. Then decided last year to give it a bit of TLC and refurb the suspension, brakes, bushes etc as required (body was in v. good nick) and to start using it again as it was a shame to see it gathering dust in the garage. At least that was the plan !
I got a bit carried away and ended up stripping the whole car back to the bare shell
(the logic being do it once & do it right)!
The shell is away at the bodyshop for minor rust repairs & full repaint, I'm hoping to have it back in time for the xmas holidays. The plan is to have it back on the road by summer 2016.
Anyway, all comments & advice will be appreciated. Pics to follow.
Cheers,
John.
