Well, it's come time to sell The Amazing Wonder Audi. I've put a ton of time, money, and effort into it but as I'm getting on in age I'm thinking about getting into something a little newer and less go-kartlike.
The car is a 1990 80 quattro, pretty basic model (manual sunroof, no climate control = less weight), with AAN engine, Megasquirt, urquattro transmission and rear diff, ABS + traction cotrol retrofitted (with an "off" switch) and a bunch of other stuff.
The car is located in Wilmington, MA, USA. My asking price is $6,750.
I created a web page with lots of info and photos, it's at https://www.thelawsplace.com/TweakedAudi80ForSale/
If you've got lots of spare time and want to read all about it, my build thread is here: https://www.motorgeek.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=42240
I really tried to do everything right on this car: almost all parts I fabricated are aluminum or stainless so they should last. Fuel lines are teflon. Not to pat myself on on the back too much but the tune is really good: AFRs are well-controlled, boost is well-controlled, it drives really nicely, and starts easily even when stored outside at 0 degrees F.
Rustwise I'd say it's 8/10 NOT considering its age. There's a very small amount of surface rust in a couple of mostly-invisible spots, but nothing even close to perforation. The paint is good for a 28-year-old car but not perfect. The interior is fair... a little dingy, the foam holding the cloth to the doors has broken down, fabric on the driver's seat is well-worn but there are no signifcant holes or tears.
The biggest issue right now is it needs an alignment. I had it aligned to some specs I made up and I don't think the guy fully understood what I wrote. So it feels very twitchy, and not "planted", especially on the highway. Having said that, when you throw it into a corner it sticks like it's on rails!
