Course, I'll need to pay for suspension, tires, skid plate and an FIA roll cage...so it'll come to a little more than $5K.

More than likely been dogged out and probably needs about 4 grand in work just to get into shape for even amateur rally.

Trust me German cars from the 80's can have nightmare electrical issues especially ones that where sold in the US.I have seen guys get so angry they simply took a sledge hammer and smashed the car up.You have to find someone that really knows Audis look at that car even before you buy it.

Used to own a 86 BMW M3 in Germany great car but it had some pesky electrical bugs I never worked out. The worst are VW Scirocco a 1985 of that particular make was the one that got bashed by the sledge hammer.
