Hello all, I thought being as now im getting stuck into the restoration of my 90 Id post up the story behind me and the car!
So Im currently 20, and In August I purchased a 90 quattro with an ABY lump fitted , this car has been featured afew times on here, its had quite afew owners! Alot of people would read this and think wait?! He's 20! But im not your average 20 year old haha, Im in constant ore of the 80s, not just with cars in mind but music, dress sense, carefree lifestyle... Unfortunately I was born in the wrong era. Ive grown up with Classic audis, First memories of car Journeys for me is going on holiday in my dads Audi 100 2.0E, The day that made me want a classic audi is when my dad purchased a B2 Coupe Quattro, i think I was 7 at the time, I remember being so excited for the drive home, probably more than my dad was after the clutch slave cylinder failed before reaching home! My dad has owned alot of Audis since, Currently owning a URS6, B3 90 quattro KV, 80 Cab NG and recently a 1 owner from new B2 80 Sport, Hes known as Slacky on here i think! Although my passion for Audis is big Ive always like Volkswagens! My first car when i was 14 was a 71 1200 Beetle In which I have restored/modified and i dont think i could ever sell, Although im young with the 80s in mind Ive wanted to own alot of cars from back in the day, Ive owned 2 mk2 Golfs, scirroco Gt2 mk2 Jetta and a Mini, Although owning them Ive always said to my dad that my dream car would be a B3 90 with an ABY. So I knew of this car via afew posts on facebook, i asked the previous owner a 9 months before purchasing if he would sell and I think at the time he was reluctant, so i messeged him again and he replied with come and have a look! So i went to look and made a deal! It had no Mot so as soon as i got it home I put it in for Mot, It failed.. no suprise, needing a rear caliper, 2 front shocks, exhaust leak fixing and window wash fixing, I did the Jobs gpt it through its MOT and started using it as a daily, ITS QUICK..., I soon realised that 5 cylinders were not very economical but for the first time ever I didnt care! My dream had come true.. Yes its rough, you can tell mechanicals are worn and tired but i just wanted to enjoy it for afew months so i did, and finally it decided it was ready to have a rest
